    HOWITZER blasts them with his second of the day.

    Hat-trick on debut?

    Go, go, GO!

    I fancy a Whitehall brace too now.
    Kick on boys!

    We’d all take 1-0… however, let’s turn the screws – ha, ha, ha

    As I type – the HOWITZER blasts in his second!

    2-0

    Luckily we are only playing the X1 human adversaries of our 23 opponents and not teams with (X-Men) super mutant powers… lol

    We need to build up a head of steam and steamroller our opponents in to submission.

    We need to create that early Tyson aura – where opponents were defeated even before they’d jumped the ropes to enter the ring.

    Winning breeds winning, injects confidence and a belief.
    Opponents will fear us and half the battle is won if we’ve castrated them psychologically.

    Let’s go for it in every game.
    Better to die by the sword than to waste away in a distant non-league field.

    Let every game be a battle!
    A war to be won!

    We need to become that indescribable menace… that juggernaut.

    We need to develop that unstoppable momentum and propel that rock to the top of the mountain.

    Hopefully the Howitzer will have a dream home debut, striking the target trice!
    Realistically, one direct hit would be great!
    All the best to AB, Dec & the boys on Saturday.
    Go for it!
    Goals win games!

    GS: Howe, Roberts, Whitehall

    Dropped an aitch there!
    Thrice in a trice.

    20th of 24 in the Away league last season.

    P23 W3 D11 L9 GF25 GA37 GD-12 Pts20

    I’ll stick with my 3-1 prediction.

    4 and away in 1.

    Having to take part in a Tuesday night MMC (Mickey Mouse Cup) game will ‘piss off’ the four involved… it encroaches in to their evening/day off and restricts their recreational options.

    Rotate the four involved.
    Sub them after a minute.
    Let them get straight off home to their wife’s/girlfriend’s and kids.
    There’s no need for them to hang about.
    Job done.

    Any score predictions?
    [a bewildered face icon!]

    At the end of each 90min game last season, Sunderland W1 D1, L2

    3 points for a win
    2 points for a penalty win
    1 point for a penalty loss
    0 points for a loss

    Boston 1-0 Sund
    Tamworth 1-4 Sund
    Gateshead 2-2 Sund (5-4 pens)
    Halifax 2-1 Sund

    3.85 goals per game was the average across the entire ‘experiment’ last season.

    Will we see the introduction of a revised points system in the PL & EFL in a couple of years time?

    Is the death knell tolling for the drawn game?

    Iron 2-2 Cats (4-3 pens)

    Rubbing salt in the wounds?

    NLC games were free on NLTV last season… or until DAZN took over.

    Higher or Lower

    The average attendance at the four away games of Sunderland U21s in last season’s NL Cup was 278.

    Higher or Lower than 278 tonight?

    I’ll wait until tomorrow Cass.
    I just hope that AB decides to go for it in every game.
    Let them worry about us.
    We have a punchy, puissant offence which we need to maximise.

    I’m going to change my 1-1 (steady Eddie) prediction.

    Let’s go for it:
    Lambs 1-3 Iron

    He who dares; wins!

    Prepare to win, prepare for promotion.
    Let’s be positive!

    It’s great to be back in the NL and playing ‘proper football’ !

    You know we are back ‘in the mix’, as match odds and indeed, even correct score odds are available even before the day of the game.

    For nearly every game these last couple of seasons we’ve had to wait until the day of the game for match odds – and until just an hour or two before kick off for the correct score odds.

    In addition, we’ll be right up near the top of the list now.
    No more scrolling down beyond San Marino’s Liga D, the Vatican Premier League and the Monaco Ladies League to find the NLN games.

    Hurrah!

    Not sure about other prices, but I know it cost £14 for an early bird OAP ticket in the main stand last season, but is £16 now.

    14.2% hike in price
    3.6% inflation

    They don’t mention at what time the serving up of the tray bake commences?
    All sounds a bit 1960/70s school dinnerish?
