Match Day Thread Sunderland v Mansfield Town - Saturday 7th November - KO 15:00

Don't confuse me with that lot

 

9-1. Grigg & Graham hat tricks, O9, Hume and Diamond.

PS, I'll put the 2nd half score in later.

 

Started early on lads night out.

Oops forgot, pubs closed?

 

Picked 2 players that the manager has said are injured and will not play, so 7-1?

 

Who knows - I've updated the team to have Sanderson instead of Wright.
Scowen is also injured and won't play.

 

Could Embleton be the key to getting Grigg to score goals? Will Embleton last without getting injured? I know that sounds harsh but I fear he is another Watmore. Too many injuries too soon in his career. Hope I am wrong. Has looked good when he has been on the pitch. Needs a run of games though not just the cup games.

 

I think he could well be, but it sounds like he might not start tomorrow - maybe come on as sub. He won't be risked for the whole game anyway.

 

Having said that, he played Bailey in the last EFL trophy game so wouldn’t surprise me.

 

Like your pick RTB, but l just can‘t see P. P. giving so many fringe players a chance at the same time.
Especially on Saturday. He may be a little more adventurous midweek, but even then he may hold true to the conservative streak that he cannot rid himself of.
But as always l’ll try to
KTF

 

sorry lads but can't get 'up' for the next two games, my only real hope comes from the young lads being given a chance...all i want is to be out of this league, cup games just to give some lads a rest, others a decent run out.

that said, i honestly think the 'incomers' will do a very good job and make it harder for parky to leave them out, shame benji is injured, would be a nigh on perfect opportunity for him so lets hope at least one of the others gets his shooty boots on.

 

Yeah - what he says and what he actually does is not quite the same.
But - we do have loads of injuries so you never know he just might rest a few more than usual.

Ahh, the what Grigg needs to have to score theories...

Its a mystery wrapped up in an enigma

 

For any Mansfield supporters looking in

"The 2nd round draw will take place on Monday, 9th November, on BBC Two from 7pm."

 

To be honest I am not even bothered if we lose today. I want promotion this season couldnt give a flying one for the cups.

 

Today is an absolute must win for me. If the young players are being given a chance then it’s down to them to take it and prove it with a good performance and win. If we lose, can’t see Parkinson giving them another sniff this season.

 

Even if we win today and I see your point the younguns wont get a game whilst PP is in charge unless we have loads of injuries.

 

Very good point tbf. Disgraceful really considering we have players like Power starting on the reg.

 

Give us a game ?

When your all over a team and they're not in it,

Give us a game as in sarcastic, "your team's crap" sort of thing.
