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

It does in a way as I was expecting some younguns in, how many chances do these two actually need

 

Not when they’ve had enough chances, he should be trying the younguns in games like this

 

What an awful team, still should win even with this line up, but what will we learn here, that we don't already know.

 

I like the look of the team tbh got a good bench too.

 

It would leave us a bit light in midfield if that was the case unless Grigg is dropping back.

 

In that respect I agree with you. Like you I always want to see us win but I can’t really find any enthusiasm for this or any type of cup game.

 

Maquire to do that role I think

 

Hate, opinions may vary, but hate I mus have missed it, any examples.

 

Not really on here mate but on the smb the abuse that Dobson gets is pretty bad imo

 

Goes on about playing the same formation throughout the club from 1st team down to youths. Gives a few fringe players a chance and changes the formation so they are playing how they haven't all season

 

Still sacrificing a midfielder for a forward though, I'd have sacrificed a defender instead.

 

I wasn’t giving them ****e as it’s not their fault they’re not good enough, I’m on about Parkinson playing them and being defensive against a team in a lower league than us. Why not put younguns in and attack them. At least give us some excitement.

 

I guess I will cough up a tenner to watch this....

 

I said I wasn’t going to pay to watch them again after the Portsmouth match but I just can’t help myself, not really bothered if we go out but I just wanted to see some attacking football but with that team I’ll just have to wait and see

 

I think it will be something like this...

 

Thanks mate, this is the only forum that I visit.

 

That's what I thought when I seen the team, unless Diamond is playing wingback

 

Neil on the bench he really is a ****

 

I sometimes visit the smb and it's pretty shocking, the match thread is pretty depressing.

 

He probably is but I don't like it, going to be a lot of open space for them on that side and pressure on Diamond to defend when I thought he was more of a winger/AM.

442 would allow round pegs for round holes.
