****s sake man

Ballard, Cirkin, Alese, Huggins, O9 & Seelt all unavailable. You couldn't make it up

Back 4 of:

Pembele Hume Hjelde Styles

:emoticon-0119-puke:
Doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence that, no choice but to play on the front foot now
 
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.

Not seen anything concrete, he’s had 2748858383 ‘hamstring injuries’ this season then played so fingers crossed
Be 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

We’ll probably rush alese back for this and lose him for the season knowing us
 
Haven'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.
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 summer

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.

Is that a song from the Lion King?

I don't think it's ever been stated that's its to be done on the cheap, it's to be done with funds available.
As of yet we haven't really had many funds available from player sales
 
If 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.

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 there
 
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?

We could do but we couldn't be sure Dodds wouldn't play him on the right wing.

Didn’t BSA get on top of injuries.
