Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Luton Town FC – Saturday 13th May 2023 - KO 17:30

Just proves the point I made the other day ...

... the finishing places mean absolutely nothing.

Luton are just a team who failed to be promoted this season as they did last season.

 

I thought Wednesday were the better team even at 2-0 down. However, the third goal has killed them off. The Shef Wed fans singing we are ****.

 

Apologies if it’s been mentioned but what’s the deal with Matete? Is he back with us now?

be decent to have him on the bench at least.

 

Luton will be watching this ....

 

Should be back with us and eligible to play I think.

 

Nah, he can't play for us again this season

 

4-0. Bloody hell.

 

Bugger.

 

Ah well nevermind. Would have been nice to have an extra body to choose from. Seems to have started off very well down there then faded a bit.

 

Unfortunately not Olly, returning loans take no part until the new transfer window opens

56 STANDARD LOANS

56.1 Subject to the provisions of Regulation 55, Standard Loan transfers shall only be approved in accordance with following provisions:

56.1.1 subject to the proviso that the duration of a Standard Loan must be the time between two Transfer Windows, Standard Loans can be for half a Season or a full Season;

56.1.2 any recall clause requiring the early termination of a Standard Loan can only be included in a full Season Standard Loan and this can only be activated during the Winter Transfer Window;

 

Shame that isn't it. The loan is for a season which is the 46 games (or half a season) and the playoff games are considered 'extra' games in terms of not being included in your season card so you have to pay extra but for a loan player he can't come back to his parent club and play in the 2 (or hopefully 3) extra games despite being registered to play for us at the start of the season.

 

I wouldn't swap him for Amad ....

 

No neither would I. I wonder if clubs need to put clauses in about potential play off games so that loan players stay until the last game the club plays rather than the last proper league game.

Has anyone checked if Man Utd have recalled Amad?

 

Few glasses of Malborough deep now, but cannot wait for tomorrow. What will be, will be. Bring it on and Ha'way the lads

 

They have Sheffield Wednesday favourites for the League One playoff winners as well... Not sure I'd trust them tbh

 

Is it? He hasn't managed to force his way into Plymouth's starting 11 in League One, not sure he's ready to be chucked into the Championship playoffs...

 

Not to start but if cirkin and Gooch are ****ed we will be struggling to fill the bench. Hopefully they are both OK though. Will find out at half 4 tomorrow

 

Twas the night before the playoff semi final, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse!
The empty double maxim bottles were disposed with care,
In hopes that the lads soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds;
While visions of Amad danced in their heads;
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long nap,
When up on my phone there was such a clatter I swiped up fast to see what was the matter !
‘Twas but the Twitter of SAFC, to tell me what was possible could might be.
"Now, O’Nein! now, Hume! now Amad and Neil!
On, Gooch! on, Roberts! on, On Pritchard and Geldhardt!
To the edge of the box! to the top right corner!
Now shoot away! Score! Score all!"

As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Up popped Tony Mowbray and he came with a bound.
He was dressed all in Hugo Boss, and was slightly at bevel,
You would never know he’d just had a revel !

“Happy playoff eve to all, and to all a good night!”

…. sorry I couldn’t resist

 

Sorry to seem completely clueless but is Amad still in the squad?
