I'm as curious as anyone as to why PP is reluctant to rest players, but the fact is he sees all tha data they use with the sports science and stuff they use nowadays.
Its his way, and its working, Dobson played the 90 minutes tonight and played well to the end with no bookings, its a policy that could yet backfire but I doubt he will change it tbh.
As I said, this week, things can change but it's a gradual process. Beat Oxford and we have two home games after which we could be top. There are 'six pointers' every week and that's our big chance .... ... Wembley anyone
And whatever it is he's managed to get Wyke playing regularly for the first time in a season and a half.
Maguire with another Motm display i see. I just hope hes ok for Sat. Parkinson really needs to start looking after the players, otherwise we will find ourself with key men missing vital games leading up to the end of the season. One bad injury now will rule a player out for the season.
Oxford could be interesting. Thought this game would be against promotion rivals, but they're mid table now
We need to remember that Oxford, Lincoln, Wycombe, etc were all 'flying' recently ... .... **** them, we're Sunderland!
Great win, whoever said we'd smash them was right. Can't feel me fingers though so swings and roundabouts.
Agreed. Tonight was an ideal time to rest a few at half-time. Piss me off if we don't get a result on Saturday and Parkinson uses tiredness or legginess as an excuse post match. When he could have prevented it tonight.
