Match Day Thread Burton Albion v Sunderland - Saturday 20th February - KO 15:00

Vokins and Macfazdean not even on the bench...injured on Wednesday? Bailey-Wright not on bench injured on Wednesday, Scowen I think was slightly injured on Wednesday only makes the bench.

If Mcgeady is operating on the left and Vokins is LB I wonder which wing the Brewers will attack down.

Will 09 or Power be in the back four or midfield?

Bench looks good, let's hope they are not needed!

 

I’m not impressed with that team. Persisting with Gooch when he was **** midweek, O’Brien up top when we played so much better with 3 in the middle. I think this going to end in tears. Hope I’m wrong.

 

That's roughly what I'd expect from a counter attacking away team tbh.

I'm expecting Gooch to play a bigger part today.

 

3-4-3 according to the clubs twitter

 

Feels like he needs a big game Gooch

 

He was rated 50/50 for today, so you'd assume he'll be back midweek

 

Nothing like the line up I was expecting.

Gooch RWB and Vokins LWB ?

Vokins looked terrible defensively the other week. O'Nien looked very good in defence v Lincoln and brought the ball out well.

That's led to LJ going 3 at the back I reckon.

 

Cheers

 

Was 50/50 for today so i cannot imagine its long

 

SAFC Twitter claiming it's 3-4-3 and if it's right I would have thought this is what we'll see.....

McLaughlin Sanderson O'Nien
Gooch Power Leadbitter Vokins
O'Brien Wyke McGeady​

 

Effing well hope so

 

Team looks fine to me. Looks like 4 at the back with Luke in midfield.

 

SAFC Twitter states it's 3-4-3. Might have as much of a clue as we do mind

 

DC will explain it all when rhe stream comes live i am sure.

 

With an inexperienced back line like that I would have liked to have seen an extra body in midfield. Leadbitter and Power will get overrun

 

Obrien starting is a joke for me...jones should be starting and I would of given either Diamond or Neil a start instead of Gooch

 

Defensively very worrying today.

Wright will be a big miss. Couldn’t understand the full strength side in the cup. I know it’s a chance to get to Wembley but promotion is more important.

Hopefully going for the cup doesn’t come back to haunt us.

 

Careful mind thats sounding negative to me. One rule for one....

 

Yeah I saw that after I'd posted, who knows. I've got faith in Johnson that he knows what he's doing regardless.

 

I have a feeling it'll be 4-2-2-2 and whoever's doing the clubs twitter will be wrong but they've probably a better idea than I do.
If Twitter is correct the extra bodies in midfield will be McGeady and O'Brien when we don't have it and it'll become an almost 5-4-1 when's defending in our half. Might be 3-6-1 when we just lose possession
