    Yeah because you are taking criticism far too hard towards a player that you dont agree with. Hows it slagging off? Hes probably a really nice lad whos desperate to make it at the highest level he possibly can, but i just dont think hes good enough

    Was thinking about this yesterday. It would be good to give him a run, but at the same time it's a cup game and Rusyn deserves a chance too. There are a few that should get minutes really. There's an argument for Rusyn, Rigg, Aouchiche, Ba, Ekwah, Mundle to all get a start midweek. Depends how much RLB likes to change things.

    At the end of the day, we just need one of our strikers to start scoring till we sign our main striker.

    I’m not taking the criticism too hard at all, I’m just pointing out something that others on here have seemingly agreed with me.

    I cba to keep going round in circles, in my eyes some of the comments I’ve seen have been very harsh about a few players not just Mayenda. That’s my opinion.

    It makes me wonder if that young lad, Crotcher or whatever hes called is good enough to sign for Villa at 17 and also representing England at all youth levels, why have we never given him a chance yet based from our current choice of strikers last season. We had Burstow playing instead when we had our own top prospect playing the same position.

    He's a prick. His family are pricks. He hasn't kicked a ball in a Sunderland shirt for well over a year now. Not someone I want representing the club.

    Because his parents thought he was better going everywhere last summer, so refused to sign a pro deal with us. Nothing the club could have done tbh, sounded like his folks were jealous that Rigg was being pushed forward to the 1st team squad before he was

    He had trials at 4 different teams last season

    It can be but if theyve got a s**t attitude or disrupted parents then im fine those characters moving on

    Hes a talented lad but you need more than that to make it at championship level

    Be interesting to see how his career goes but im fine him going as its on him rather than the club

    Something I missed yesterday, Pembele didn't even make the bench. RLB went with Triantis and Johnson as the defensive options. Looks to me like he'll be away soon.

    Johnson looked massive when he was clapping the fans at the end, looks like he’s filled out loads since his loan, would love him to break through

    RLB said publicly in the pre-match press conference that it’s possible he leaves on loan. Wonder if he’ll play in the Preston match.

    My guess is he won't. Not sure who will play right back though.

    I think he's definitely good enough to keep this season to fight for a place

    He opted to leave before we had a chance to give him a chance.

    I was impressed by the size of Alese after yesterday's game. Looks like he's bulked up loads.
