I've gone for a Sunderland win but only because Ross has kept some of our better fit again players for this one and he knows how important the game is to everybody, club and supporters alike.

Gone for a draw, as that's what were good at. Pompey will sit back I reckon and try to hit us on the break and we will not go for them, Jack's normal non cavalier approach. Then a couple of beers in the deaf club after the game, then on to Spoons  |

www.safc.com/news/team-news/2019/april/power-preview-portsmouthPower set for seismic Pompey clashMax Power is refusing the hide from the fact that Sunderland can’t afford to drop any more points between now and the end of the season if they are to secure automatic promotion. A 1-1 draw at Peterborough United saw the Lads’ hopes of reaching the top two place taken out of their hands as Portsmouth and Barnsley collected three points. That’s meant this weekend’s clash with third place Pompey is a seismic one, with the south coast club currently in pole position, should they remain unbeaten on Wearside, to snatch one of the two automatic spots. Sunderland enter their final three games knowing victory is of paramount importance, as they sit four points behind second place Barnsley, but with a game in hand on them, as we enter the final seven days of the season. “We all feel as if we owe Portsmouth one but at this stage of the season we can’t get too down about it,” Power said. “We’ve just got to recover now and win three games, simple as that. “We’ve got three games left, one of those games is against Portsmouth so we can go back above them then it’s unfortunately us depending on Barnsley slipping up. “We can’t afford to drop any points now. We couldn’t really afford to drop any on Monday but we did. It’s advantage Barnsley at this point.” He continued: “The Portsmouth game is the last home game of the season so we want to put on a performance for the home fans. We were backed again on Monday with great numbers. “Let’s just go and win three games and see where it takes us.”

Unfortunately he is one member of an eleven man team - assuming he is selected.

I would like him to play Wykes and Grigg up front with Mcguire behind them.
Don't think it will happen though.

Last game of the season at home and considering everything that is riding on it possibly the biggest game of the season. |
