Match Day Thread Sunderland v MK Dons - Saturday 14th November - KO 15:00

Parky really is bizarre isn’t he. Matthews in goal wtf. No shock to see his son Dobson back on the bench ahead of the likes of Neil.

 

Change of shape? 2 up front with a back 4?

 

Change in goal a surprise.

 

Or is onein at cb? **** knows.

 

Back to safety first
- that looks like a change in formation though

 

Wonder what formation we're playing looking at that. Hope it's a flat back four with Denver and Luke as attacking full backs..

 

I'm revising my prediction of a clean sheet that's for sure.

 

He does not know his best side - constant tinkering hoping to strike it lucky.

 

I dont know what to make of that.

 

Nah it’s same formation - O’Nien left centre back. Gooch right wing back. Scowen behind the strikers.

Embleton left out as he’s a little sore after his first start on over a year apparently.

Burge a weird one

 

Tell you what though lads - after yesterday’s news, a hatrick from Grigg will be pretty magic

 

Let’s hope Matthews has a good game and we never see Burge in goal for us again.

 

I think that will be the shape. Slight ankle injury for Burge according to twitter

Gooch Willis Wright 09 Hume

According to James Hunter, Burge has a slight ankle knock, doesn't make sense to have him involved imo. It's Parkinson's way though, would rather have a half fit senior than gives a fully fit younger keeper a chance (unless the other keeper has an injury as well)

 

think he's nursing humpback slowly due to his injury problems. Two games a week might just be fuming it at present. Just a thought.

 

I will go to the bottom of the garden and eat worms, it that happens... and be happy to do so.

Goalkeeper is an odd decision I did not see coming. Very defensive CMs, I reckon Gooch is not a winger or a wing back, more Creative Midfielder or striker.

 

Bookmarked

 

Surprised at Willis as well. He could hardly run against Fleetwood

 

Easing him in mate that’s his first full 90 for a long time.

 

If Burge has got a knock I saw more from Patterson the other night than I have from Mathews in all the games he has played. He looks very dodgy to me, not convinced by him at all.
