Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Coventry City FC – Saturday 23rd December 2023 - KO 15:00

Pritch not even on the bench

 

That explains it

No Jewie

 

I definitely don’t get Dack on the bench ahead of Bennette, now that Rigg is on there.

 

I can’t understand this, different manager same team and tactics.

Hopefully we see some changes during the match tactically otherwise what was the point?

 

how do you know it’s the same tactics?

even if it is, evolution rather than revolution is the right way to go

 

The kid must look like Messi

 

You’re right. It’s just frustration at a lack of a striker again, these kids will never ever develop unless they get a decent chance.

 

Abdullah must be the best Ba none in training

 

Think Hume said once that Ba is the most skillful player in the squad in his opinion

 

Yeah, he said Amad and Abdullah were the most skillful iirc. It was part of the Teammates feature.

 

I really like him as a player, really exciting at times but Roberts needs to start producing either an assist or scoring goals for me to justify him starting. Here's hoping today is the start of that

 

Starting Ba again
I don't get it. As others have said, he must be performing very well in training to justify a starting position.

 

By the same reasoning Seelt must be poor ?

 

I think today's lineup might be influenced a fair bit by Dodds...

 

Is that a protest banner?

 

Listening to Garry Bennett is painful.

 

I hope Ba proves us all wrong. There’s obviously a good player in there maybe/hopefully today is the day ?!!
