    Not the biggest fan of Dajaku but I might start him as wingback, got a lot of energy and Clarke needs dropping for game or two.

    I still think this lad will end up being a decent asset to the club. Get a few games in him build up an understanding with his team mates.

    Expecting pelters for saying that.

    I'm totally convinced he'll be a Sunderland hero.

    I thought he did well when he came on against Wigan. Think Left midfield suits him more than through the middle or right wing

    His finish away to Crewe was so assured, he knew exactly what he wanted to do when he received the ball ...

    ... the exact opposite of Simms who blunders around and makes it all up depending where his first touch bounces.

    Brilliant if true. The value of having academy lads seeing a clear path to the first team is massive. Would love to see them get some minutes too.

    I reckon it might be a case of the lads just travelling with the team like they did back before the World Cup, rather than being on the bench. But they may be on the bench I guess

    He looks a real prospect. I hope when maybe Wright steps away we promote him. Looks the part to me.

    I wonder if it’s bad news on the injury front or just a genuine attempt to show our best youngsters there’s a path to the first team…

    Yeah i like him a lot, got good potential.

    Won't be surpised if at least 1 of the young lads is on the bench as potentially missing 3 of the 18 squad from wigan - simms, pritchard n Ba

    That's been the problem, I don't know what his best position is but whatever it is he's not had a decent run there. Been played all over and not regularly.

    Mag journo straight in with a Newcastle link rather than just congratulating the young lads.
