    ****ing hell, other than the paraplegic JOS and our third choice goalie, the other 5 on our bench have a grand total of 3 senior appearances between them at anything close to a decent standard league.

    If that doesn't indicate Ellis needs to get the cheque book out, I don't know what will.

    Yes, could do at that. I was forgetting how young (Asoro eg) they really are. I said earlier I`d like to see (scoreline permitting) a couple of them involved.

    I`m talking daft again. If subs are needed, there`s no bugger else. <laugh>

    i think mr lova-lova played c. midfield for ManUre U-23s , so i susoect he could be in there and manquillo right wing-back.

    our central defense options are shocking , like.

    If any player ever deserved booing it's Joey "boooooo!" Barton.

    0-0 at half time - pretty lacklustre game by radio darkside comentry but I feel in 2nd half if we introduce a few youngsters (Asoro or/and Maja and Honeyman) to replace Defoe , Janusai :)emoticon-0112-wonde ..possibly Rodwell for a win - lol TIC)

    Sounds like Rodwell is having a good game and I heard he did last match he played in too, good news for him and more importantly us.

    He's not a bad player, mate.

    This forum is full of sheep though and as soon as somebody starts to make a player a scapegoat, the rest seem to follow their lead.

    I don't rate him that much myself considering his Sunderland career so far, I don't think he offers enough for this level but he's got potential and while I didn't think he was going to reach it maybe he will after all.

    17 and a half thousand there, today.

    This round of fixtures used to give many a team their highest attendance of the season. Shame.

    He's got all the attributes to be a good player in this league, I think he needs that first win to kick start himself.

    Confidence is so underrated and that really would boost him, I'm sure of it.

    That's it aye he's got the ability but I always felt he was lacking genuine drive to make the most of it but that may well simply be down to a lack of confidence. Be great if he can get a goal for us.

    Burnley hit the post.

    Why has Moyes not made a sub to shake things up and give the youngsters a chance...

    He's a ****ing dick. A draw is the worst possible result and he keeps it tight.

    This is the one chance he had to have a good look at the youngsters <doh>

    He gave a big speech before the game about giving the kids a chance but then he doesn't in fact give them a chance. It's frustrating how we always seem to have a manager with a substitution phobia.
