I get the "we played well and will play worse and win" platitudes, but tonight reminded my why I hate football

He will play more left and come in from left. Where he has played most of his games. Gooch was needed at left back so Broadhead got out out on the right side.
He was played as a striker at Everton.

LJ has some big decisions to make in midfield Neil was class tonight embleton on the ball is growing in confidence and you can’t fault Oniens energy but we missed Evans cool head and positional sense Nice problem to have just have to come up with a winning formula
Assuming we buy a right back, then maybe Winchester and Neil is the answer in midfield
You could make an argument for swapping O'Nien and Winchester
 
RB, Keeper and CM if I had my way. Can't see us bringing in another striker
We are desperate for another striker. I think Grigg will be gone in the next couple of weeks. The writing was on the wall for him when he was benched for a kid at Port Vale. I reckon AOB will stay although I'd prefer to see the back of him. We've only got Stewart and Broadhead so another recognised striker is a must with all the games we have this season.
 
Facts are, I'm afraid, is that we never win when I stay in a caravan. Had many September weekends at primrose valley near Filey and the best we got was a 1-1 draw with Spurs when Kane scored an own goal. I'm here until Monday so apologise upfront for Saturday's match.
So it was you, well ill be blowed, on second thoughts:emoticon-0101-sadsm
 
Well Wyke was sold and not replaced, that was humiliating to watch I thought grig was bad we are mid table now without a change, new owner like short so stuff this season already
 
I am right though you all know tell me who will get 25 goals this season ? even Accy will finish above us this season, we all kid our selves we do not have players who can put themselves about like Wycombe etc and cannot keep a clean sheet cos of Burge. Johnson out by October and Warnock in i hope.

Agreed, Monty. Hopefully a family like the Oystons buy us and chuck KLD on the streets.

Dan Neil will play in the premier league. I hope it’s with us, but seeing Leeds were after him last summer, and his stock and reputation will only rise, I can see him going before we get the chance to.

need to tie him down to give us a chance of keeping him, or at least if we don’t, a fair fee for once
He’s a massive massive sunderland fan mate.
