    Clarke salter has also looked lost since he signed and Oviedo is Patrick van Aanholt in disguise imo.

    What was the point in playing McNair for 60 mins for the U23s this weekend instead of the first team. What is the difference? Thats his 4th game for them now since he returned to full training.
    We are crying out for change and a physical presence in midfield ffs. Times running out now and things are looking bleak. Were physically not strong enough to compete in this league so bringing McNair back may not make a massive difference when were on the ball but he'll beef our midfield up massively and protect the back 4 better than Catts.

    Oviedo, the club's usual first choice left-back, was subbed on the hour mark at Ashton Gate a week ago and he didn't make the squad against Brentford, with Coleman saying it was a "tactical choice".

    Read more at: https://www.sunderlandecho.com/spor...d-why-oviedo-and-lualua-didn-t-play-1-9022168
    The whole team has been crap
    But Oviedo has been our best crap player
    And that worries me if cookie thinks others are better

    I read the "six things we learned" peice and it says:

    upload_2018-2-18_22-20-43.png

    What? "They are going to have to win at least half of their remaining fixtures"... to bridge a 3 point gap you apparently need to win 7 of your 14 games. This is beyond normal levels of journalistic nonsense.

    To be blunt it's ****ing stupid to play a CB at LB if you've got a decent LB available. If he rates Jones above Oviedo I strongly disagree with him about that.

    We need a settled team if we are to get out of this situation, and it is still possible even with this squad. Nil Desperandum

    Man, I've paid zero attention SAFC this season, but bringing up the championship table today you look a right old mess, Hull too.

    p.s. I'm just a black & white ****, mind.

    Going by his presser today it'l be back to 5-3-2 tomorrow night. I expect Oviedo to be brought back in and Konè and McNair to start
