NO need for another thread, we are already discussing it on the boards![]()
I think the thread is a good idea. It's being discussed on 2/3 different threads and it's hard to follow lol.
Think I'll do a Straw From The Nest on him anyway, as he's the only centre back to have "left" us in recent years that would get an overtly positive review.
Anyone who thinks Jay DeMerit falls into that category obviously doesn't remember how scathing I was about him during his last season. Still love the guy, and I'm always fair, but if I ever write about him there'll be some casual brutality on that last year or so.

Billy, are you related, by any chance, to the legendary Sunderland supporter, nicknamed "Celtic"?
Great signing, and have to praise the board for backing Dychey on this one! has certainly strengthened the defence.
Not one for a change of formaiton mid-season, but could this lead to trying out a 5-3-2 when Taylor is fully fit, and the full-backs act as more wing backs? something like;
-----------Loach---------
-----Taylor-Nos-Maps----
Hodson-------------Dickinson
-----Hogg------Eustace-----
---------Bauben-----------
----Sordell----Deeney
We can always swap Eustace for Yeates and play both Bauben and Yeates just behind the front two and Hogg holding... or even have a midfield 3 and front 3 of Sordell, Yeates and Deeney...
I can't see us changing formaiton, but might be worth having a little look in training.
