    Jobe rested, probably for the best. Ba as a 10? Interesting pick if so.

    No complaints with that team. Looking forward to it. Be tempted to start Roberts in the middle and keep ba right. Haway lads

    I think I would too mate. Either way it is an attacking selection, fair play.

    Jobe needed a rest however Ba or Roberts have been ****ing awful when playing in the middle. Interesting call.

    That's the most attacking team we've put out at home for ages.

    I can't imagine anyone having complaints about that <laugh> <laugh> <laugh> <laugh> <laugh>

    Personally would prefer Aouchiche or even Rigg in there. Think starting Rigg today would have sent a hell of a message. Hope he gets minutes.

    very happy with this team tho

    From memory we actually signed him as an 8 and quickly moved him out wide

    I reckon Ba in the middle and I think he'll do well. Good team that.

    Wouldn’t be against it, he can cause mayhem running at people and like his work rate just needs to stop waving imaginary cards :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Plymouth's defenders will have absolutely no idea who they're marking until the game kicks off.

    This is a really interesting game coming up.

    Yeah, I still feel like we haven’t seen a front 4 completely ‘click’ this season too often, have a feeling it could be today for some reason.

    Yeah I am chomping at the bit to see Rigg play. He is ahead of Adil for me.

    Moving Ba from his best position to accommodate Roberts yet again by the looks of it. Hope he can do the job there he’s not been great in the 10 role.

    Plymouth have a poor record here and Sunderland are starting to show signs of progress ...

    ... after seeing that team I have to go for a win.

    I'm going nuts and 4-0, Ha'way the Lads!!!

    Good team selection today and I fancy us to be full of confidence and win big.

    4-0 Ba and a Clarke hat-trick.
