Match Day Thread Sunderland v Doncaster Rovers – Saturday 5th February 2022 - KO 15:00

Not what I expected but, caretaker playing safe as caretakers tend to do ...


... but what a bench and Haway the Lads

 

No CD on the bench

 

Strongest bench in the history of league 1, no doubt about it. Surprised Matete not starting, mind.

 

Yeah me too - I thought they would go for it.
Should still be good enough

 

I'm surprised Matete isn't starting. He's going to so why delay it, not like he hasn't been playing regularly.

 

Thank feck we're getting a new manager. What a shyte negative team and formation that is at home to a team like Doncaster.

 

So is Winchester playing as a third centre half and Gooch as a wing back?

 

what a miserable twat benno on the radio

 

surprised Gooch is playing where he is hope he lifts his head up

 

Pritchard coming back is significant imo ...

... I think we'll go for it, that side is easily good enough.

 

He’s a legend, shall we say.

 

Cowardly selection. Pathetic really from the remaining coaches

 

Disappointed with that like. Was hoping for at least 2 of Roberts, Matete, Clarke or Defoe to start.

 

Don’t want to dampen the mood but not replacing Flanagan and then having to play winchester at CB is a bit crap.

As is the caretaker essentially saying to the lads that lost 6-0 to give it another go

 

I know still a miserable twat

 

very conservative opening 11.
Looks way too narrow up top
No idea if that’s a four at the back.. or Winniesta is part of a 3? time will tell

 

TBF, do that and fail to win convincingly and you've just written your own 'goodbye' letter.

Three points is what matters, not indulging the mood of the supporters.

I'd love to go crazy, with the selection, but we need to win ...

... and that team would've been perfectly acceptable a fortnight back tbf.

 

Loads in the ground early on the pints

 

I do agree with smug, just a bit disappointing is all.

The irony isn’t lost on me that the opposition include a centre back we sold to them when we don’t have enough center backs to start let some for sub cover

 

Does anybody know where Arbie is? No CB on bench is a risk so I assume it means injured again as he had made the bench a few times no?
