My great grandads walking football team plays faster paced than that first half. We need a left back and a right winger on the pitch. Probably bring Seri off. This starting 11 is more moronic than any of Steve Bruce’s patchwork teams.
Rosenior must think he’s Rumplestiltskin. He can turn central midfielders and strikers into wingers and full backs.
Delap's taken a knock and not playing 100% - both teams cancelling each other out so far - needs a goal to open it up - and that means to us
It's lucky S'land don't finish well or we'd be a couple down by now. Seri not at the races, Twine ineffective, Ingram looks quite sound so far. Pace (Lokilo?) needed, give them something to think about.
They have two dangerous wingers thankfully they don’t seem to have a centre forward Watch the **** score a hat trick now
Ponderous, predictable and a new low in giving the ball away. Despite Sunderland playing with no forwards they routinely get four or five players in our box while we have two or three. And playing out from the back only works when it’s done at speed to counter the press, surely.

Would like to see Lokillo for Connelly and move Delap central, could really use him dropping back to collect the ball.
Delap still looking dangerous from the right wing He will not follow orders We should move him to left back or even keeper teach him a lesson
