    I'll be very surprised if he's in today's squad.

    Yeah - I'd like to see that

    Yeah I'd be inclined to play Dobson and O'Nien in the middle for the muscle and surround them with (relatively) fast attacking players.

    As long as we don't have to rely on Dobson making the passes we would be ok. Let him to all the ugly work and everyone else actually play football

    Fancy a 2-0, god knows why.

    mom a separate note, I’m 3 years deep on a career on Fifa 21 and I feel they should give me the gaffers job and £200million and this would be alright in real life....

    Exactly yeah that's what he's good at imo. Expecting him to play like Kirchhoff isn't going to work but he's decent at the physical stuff.

    Absolutely he wouldn't. To be fair its a team that off the ball may struggle but the idea is to play with high intensity and pace and its full of players that can spread goals throughout the team.

    i really like it and at times like these when we are finding goals hard to come by, thinking and doing things outside the box could bring rewards as teams wont be expecting it, and it may just work, never know till he tries because doing the same old thing that has already failed is madness

    someone posted an obvious fake line up, showing wyke all alone in front of opposition goal and the rest of the team tight in front of their own goal with a 'more attacking intent from parkinson' heading.

    some are complaining that onien is not in it, taking it serious...how far has this club fallen ffs?

    I've scored 18 goals as a Sunderland target man and I am still in October. My player nickname is Snek, because of my large Hooter, my commentary name is Fanni for obvious reasons, fcuking get me signed up Parky.

    Bollocks and double bollocks!!!

    Came into the office, with my beer, sat down and put on SAFSEE but there was a blank screen ...

    ... well. it happens I thought.

    So I looked on here, for the team news, and there's nothing.

    Looked at my phone and realised I still haven't altered the f*****g living room clock <steam>

    Well for the first time this season just not looking forward to this. Been up beat all season but the last few games have been thoroughly depressing. If we do sneak a win it won’t be pretty to watch Getting the feeling some of the players are starting to feel the same way about our tactics and team choice. Takeover can’t come quickly enough.

    Five substitutes now allowed, hopefully Parky take advantage of this and doesn't wait until the 70 minute mark if things arnt going well.

    After lasts week's shambles, he has to ring the changes and start playing the kids. Willis is injured but both N.I. internationals are back so I'm expecting them to come back in with Wright and O'Nien and Hume wingbacks but in midfield changes are needed and Embleton has to start for me, I'd play him alongside Leadbitter and Scowen which leaves the dilemma of who plays up front. Not much choice there but I'll plump for Wyke and since Gooch stated on the club's podcast that he prefers up front, I'll give him the nod - just in front of Diamond.
