I can't see Neil just taking in a random game to kill time, everything he says and does has a purpose. He will be there for a reason imo otherwise he would be back at the hotel prepping for the match. He will be looking at a potential signing imo.
I know this disregards what I’ve just said but you know…

Sir Bob. What a guy.I swear I was at this game as a kid and he scored a goal and hit the bar, we won 4-2. Could’ve just dreamt it to be fair I would’ve only been a nipper but every time I think of Nunez I always think that for some reason![]()
Still think we’ll play 4-2-3-1 plenty this season.I struggle with where Diallo fits in our current system.
much like Roberts I can’t see him starting centrally, and I can’t see him as a wing back. So he’s kind of an impact sub only option. Unless we change shape of course
To be fair, I remember coventry brining on impact subs that altered the game. We do lack that at the minute. The lad clearly has quality. Would be an interesting one for sure.I struggle with where Diallo fits in our current system.

I like him. Big lad and very mobileAndersen would make so much sense as not only could he cover RCB with Ballard out, but once Ballard is back, either of them could move into the central role. Which might be necessary considering Batth and Wrights injury records.

We won’t be sticking with the same formation all season I don’t think mate, likes of Roberts and that will get their chance if we need rotate, I think if Diallo did come it’d be a good opportunity for us and him, only IF thoughI struggle with where Diallo fits in our current system.

Is it too soon to say if he cant get into that man u team he cant be any use? Bit of sarcasm I know...Someone otr reckons amad diallo has agreed to come…

The odd thing is, if I had my way it would be the next Nunez and one of the younguns from Barnsley (and not the ex england player or the man utd youth prospect)...It’ll be a laugh over the next couple of weeks… Roll on deadline dayBeen fun on here tonight. We are signing the second Milton Nunez, half of the Barnsley first team, a Man Utd lad who probably cost billions and Danny Drinkwater because he was in safc players favourites garageThe odd thing is, if I had my way it would be the next Nunez and one of the younguns from Barnsley (and not the ex england player or the man utd youth prospect)...

Sir Bob. What a guy.
But most clubs realise today's kids are tomorrow's supporters without doing anything about it. Before scoffing at Sunderland's enterprising initiative, ask yourself how many fans your club could attract to a reserve game just by throwing open the gates.
'Not many,' club chairman Bob Murray ventured. 'Sunderland are unique. We have some of the most traditional supporters in the world, people who have very little in their lives except football. At the same time, we pull from the region, we have always been the County Durham club, and our support base actually goes further afield, right across the country. That's our heritage, but we don't just sit back and wait for fans to turn up. We do a massive, child-based community programme, we have 27 full-time community workers and we visit 55 schools a week. Not just in the North-East either. We are presently attacking areas like the south of Scotland and the Borders. No one else in the country can touch us. We are trying to broaden our support base all the time. We want to be a national club, a household name, perhaps everyone's second favourite team.'
