See on twitter apparently Embleton has been pulled from the first team and Mcgeady is starting, be interesting if that has happened, be a big decision from Johnson
So based on what you guys are saying we are looking at: Burge / Matthews McLaughlin Wright Flanagan Hume leadbitter Scowen Power mcgeady Maguire Grigg ? Would prefer Sanderson but otherwise that’s decent. although there will already be the negative nancies saying he’s dropping Embleton for a half fit pensioner. Which would take the benefit of McGeady completely out of context of course
Why do you insist on suggesting that SD,CM and JS are all on the same page going forward in all of this?
reet, the lad is in the door...welcome to sunderland Lee, may your stay be long and fruitful. brave jump in from the manager, it seems a few more are thinking the same as myself here, that he has known for a while that the job 'was his' and has been given time to look a few things over and to prepare, if so then that is surely a good sign from the 'ownership group' that there is going to be a lot of early thinking and planning going on and less of the snap decisions that have cost the club in recent years (SD and his player negotiating 'skills' for example)...hope i am wrong but i get the feeling it may take him a wee while to get the players into the right mindset, seems a few have become comfortable in giving less than 100%. not long till the window but enough time for him to see where the team can be improved, so hoping for a storming 2nd half of the season.
I think he has probably watched videos of some of our games so won’t be going in blind. Pity he will be without the injured players though.
for me - Johnson taking charge straight away is an immediate mentality change and excellent leadership. It’s proactive, it’s aggressive. for 2.5 years in this division we’ve get like a team reluctantly turning up and hoping to get a few goals. The mentality already feels like it’s shifted towards attacking the division. now I might be getting carried away and reading too much into it. But it’s all about mindset. So if I’m doing it, hopefully the players are too
Wonder what they mean by that snake comment. That's not exactly ideal. Interesting to see how divided opinion is on him. I don't know what to think at all.
It's the football equivalent of karma or Feng Shuai mate .... ... spout endless nonsense, that can't be disproved, and a number of gullible people will believe you.
Comes across really well in his interview: Likes the high press Suffocates the opposition Plays fast forward footy but not long. Bailey Wright and Scowen may be key to him as he has worked with them. Hope he makes BW captain and drops Power
Tbh wouldn't have minded seeing Embleton and Mcgeady start. Although Embleton would be good to come on when Mcgeady tires.
A mamager who actually soundeded positive ****ing hell!! Is he going to be on side lines today? I may actually watch the match for once see if there is any difference.
