    Would have started with Alese even if he cant handle 90. Looked to have just what we've been missing on the left.

    I promise you, since coming back from the International break, we've been garbage, and the bookies are ignoring it.

    That was class. Based on the Denmark Euro 92 shirt. Never released for sale to the public.

    I know people think it's going to be a back 5 but could it not be

    Patto
    Pembele O'Nien Ballard Hume
    Rigg Ekwah Neil Styles Clarke
    Jobe

    Would solidify the midfield.

    Whatever Dodds lacks, at least he's capable of changing things if the starting line up doesn't work.

    It doesn't always work but tonight should be interesting.

    I was thinking something similar. Or maybe Styles holding with Ekwah and Neil ahead of time with a front three of Rigg, Jobe, Clarke. Which is essentially almost the same.

    Speeds fan told me you always are after international breaks. But how long does it last?

    Same here as I think we will need to double up on Sommerville to have any chance , I am sure they will do the same on Clarke.

    Aye. He is a good lad. Original Sunderland lad too so is buzzing to be back and heading it all up.

    He'll score tonight. He started at Leeds, and we sold him to Spurs

    Coming back from injury mate, but he is a threat. Been great this year. We have Huggins from you lot, who was on for player of the year but got injured - he was unreal earlier this year as well. Out of interest has Gelhardt had much of a run?

    5-5-0 for most of the game in my opinion with Clarke and Jobe doing more defensive work than we'd hope.

    Its a decent line up tbh., probably the best players available on the bench too , we might just pull off a shock result here , lets hope so nothing against the current Leeds side but Doddsy needs a confidence boost imo.

    5 or 6 of their bench would get straight into our first team. They're very strong.
