    100%. Impact sub maybe but not a starter in my book

    Not if he's a clever dirty bastard :D and LJ subs him on a yellow :D
    Granted we could be without him for some match bans, but with a fit squad and others to choose from it would be good to watch and hopefully rally the players even more. Push us up a notch.

    Every Ipswich fan saying the ref was the fairest they’ve seen all season and vehemently arguing with Sunderland fans on Twitter/fb about it. Completely unable to see that saying you think the ref had a great game simply proves he gave them the decisions he didn’t give us!!

    I agree. I like mcgeady and there is always a grip of anticipation when he gets to the opposition penalty area, but he does hold back a fast attack.

    good grief, i forgot all about willis, knew cirkin and evans were back to training...i think evans offers something for 'away days' as he can sit and protect the back four, at least for a half until the opposition run out of ideas then get a more attacking lad in while cirkin is an almost guaranteed starter imho, from a shaky start (understandable) he improved game upon game... be nice to have a full squad to choose from though.

    @Ozzymac has a point about geads as well, i feel he is being 'phased out' and we are trying not to be as reliant on him, but still a good lad to bring on later in the game.

    watching the Sunderland AFC Keroche feed and a penalty has been awarded, it almost kicked off by the looks of it and the penalty spot is under 2" of water so many arguments ongoing lol...and we think we have problems!!

    edit: no idea what happened to the font there like...

    I still believe that a fully fit O/9 with a bit more composure which experience will bring, could easily be the answer to our defensive mid-field problems, but I would welcome an addition in their in January as Evans has not been the complete answer even when he has been available.

    Just for perspective on #SAFC after Ipswich draw.
    19-20: 22 games - 32 points.
    20-21: 22 games - 36 points.
    21-22: 22 games - 43 points.
    Both seasons at this stage we were nine points off top two. This season we’re just under two points per game & currently two points off 2nd.

    Good stat.

    I am still convinced that the two above us will have a bad run at some point, between now and the end of the season. Whereas us, as players come back from injury can look forward (fingers crossed) to a good last 15 games.

    Think the font changed because of the paste.

    went to edit it because of the font and could not get two bits of font the same, tried to edit the paste and the rest, apart from the first two words, went bold then tried a couple of different edits and ended with the bit that posted... so in the end i thought, it can be read, feck it ;)

    Not sure if it's been said before but they were annoying the **** out of me the amount of sliding over in the middle of the park in the first half.

    It was like they had the wrong boots!

    one of the hardest and dirtiest players i've seen at sunderland was Stefan Schwartz, but he was so good at it that he got away with murder, he left players lying in a broken heap without so much as a ticking off from the ref. Proper master of the dark arts that lad, wish we had somebody from the same mould.

    Well that's what annoys me so much. They are professionals and if they can't tell what type of boots they need in the warm up then I'm worried.

    He posts on Facebook and has moved house a few months ago
