He should, or why have him on the bench?Styles Hjelde Hume Pembele
Someone like Tom Lavery who has been on the bench recently may get a chance also.
Not seen anything concrete, he’s had 2748858383 ‘hamstring injuries’ this season then played so fingers crossedDo we know that Ballard is definitely out by the way?
Be a massive boost if he's ok. O9 back after Int break with (hopefully Alese and Evans)Not seen anything concrete, he’s had 2748858383 ‘hamstring injuries’ this season then played so fingers crossed
We’ll probably rush alese back for this and lose him for the season knowing usBe a massive boost if he's ok. O9 back after Int break with (hopefully Alese and Evans)
I do hope the club analyses and investigates these injuries. The last 3 seasons have been mad for how many we've had
He does appear to be made of frazzlesWe’ll probably rush alese back for this and lose him for the season knowing us
Our entire back line appears too, was going to say apart from but I’m not taking any chancesHe does appear to be made of frazzles

We have invested more into the squad already than we have brought in from player sales, so just wondering why you think they wouldn't be in the summerHaven't read many of the posts on here but imo there is zero chance we go down this season. That's just pure panic by those that think so.
Relax! Mind you next season will be a struggle without Clarke, Ballard and possibly Neil.
The model is great if we sell a big player every so often and reinvest that money into the squad. That's where I worry...I don't think all those funds will be directly invested into the first team squad.

Is that a song from the Lion King?Just a hunch. Say if we sold JC for 20m and cleared 15m after paying Spurs I don't think we would reinvest all of that.
Our model is to look for potential sort of on the cheap then obviously develop them and make money from them.
It's a circle of youth.

As of yet we haven't really had many funds available from player sales
If they are then I don’t want to see us fannying on playing out from the back, compete for the first and second ball and get rid, have two of ba, mundle and Rusyn running the channels and play from thereIf Ballard and Seelt are indeed both out then the club need to keep it as quiet as they can, as unpalatable as that is for Sunderland fans.
Last thing we need is QPR spending all week practising lumping it into the box.
FWW I'd be bringing in a lad from the U21s to play centre back this weekend. No point preaching on about pathways and then not playing the kids in an injury crisis.
Luke Bell meant to be fairly highly rated isnt he?
Didn’t BSA get on top of injuries.Groundhog day but we really need to get to the bottom of why we get so many injuries. We're never going to get anywhere if we keep on going into the business end of the season with a decimated squad.
Too many minutes for young players maybe or not good enough tech for recuperation.
