All I know is I wish we had been up to some skullduggery when we were in for Rodwell and Ndong
He didn't really though,Ballard started 43 of the 46 league games
That's true but I'm talking about the whole defence ...
... I'm not saying O'Nien is without fault but he does his best wherever and however he's asked to play.
Hume is the same and switches positions and tactics without making a big fuss.
I didn't mind the skullduggery when we sold an injured Stewart (who we paid a few hundred grand for) for 10 mil.

He took a tour around our facilities ( similar to Mendy recently) then got told the deal was off because of the new buyer and they asked for more £. Mayenda then asked to be let go and a deal was sorted within a week

“I don't think that would be a good experience only because I'm selfish,” Zak Johnson told The Echo after the game against Blackpool when asked if he would be content with being a squad player at Sunderland heading into the 2024-25 Championship season under Le Bris.
“As a player, you've got to be selfish. For me and my career as a centre-back, games is the most important thing. Minutes is the most important thing. So when I came back from Hartlepool, I was itching to go back out again and get men's football, and I did that. And now, after a successful loan in Ireland, I feel like I want that even more. So those feelings haven't gone away. I feel like the best thing for me is to get games wherever that is.

Sounds like a decent lad with his head screwed on.
He'll have a brilliant career no doubt about it. He's represented England at youth level and looks a top prospect
If Matete, Hemir and Embleton cant do anything between the 3 of them of note against Hartlepool then its bye bye
I like both of them but I do find they're both overrated a tad.
To be fair getting thrown into a team with a load of bairns they likely aren’t going to much. Haven’t got the same quality on the pitch that the first team do to support them, create chances etc.
On another note just seen Sheff Utd have signed Harrison Burrows, think that’s a great signing for them. Had over 20 combined G+A from left back last season
If there's any issue about how O'Nien is perceived, it's definitely not that he's overrated.
Was Bennette not Embleton but the sentiment still stands. Clearly not in the plans so all need moved on, Embleton included.
2 of my mates I go to the match with, do you know them?
Oh and by quite a few on X (twitter) and over on RTG
