Think part of it is because he also has a plan but can adapt it reactively by passing instructions. Also has said he wants the players to be able to work it out on the pitch I their own. Most managers chuck on a different type of player and hope for the best. Usually heavy lump of a striker for last 15.
Marvellous work from RTB, thankyou. Tricky one this methinks. I think our habit of ''after the Lord Mayors show'' may be in the past, so I'll go for a win. That said maybe have to accept that it won't be by flowing and beautiful - just holding the professionalism and grinding it out.
Sitting in the pub with the branch lads and lasses and the positivity is through the roof. It's brilliant to see and hear
Feeling good today. Which is always a bad omen. Hoping for a solid performance and a few goals another 7-0 statement would do But always seems to be bloody 1-1 against these buggers lately

Most of us were saying the same thing about Rigg to be fair he was poor first half. Suppose it’s like England fans screaming for Kane and Bellingham to be subbed then they pop up with the goals and bit of magic in Bellinghams case against Slovakia. You can only call out what you see mate!
Two things in my mind: •When you think it's one of those games where the result is nailed on, you get a surprise. vs. •We're due a stellar performance with a few goals.
It's open to interpretation. For the record, 7-1 to the lads. O'Nien 13, 19, 37, 56, 81, 83, 89. O'Nien og 52. All headers.
I thought Alese was supposed to be back straight after the international break? Never mind, we've got enough fit players to do the job today. I see that their manager has been " warning Sunderland that they have been more than a match for similar teams this season". RLB needs to pin that to the dressing room door and tell the Lads "Show them we're a different proposition to these 'other' teams". They've drawn their last 5, some were against a couple of play off teams, but they also only drew at home to Derby. So, maybe they're not all he thinks they are. This will be a difficult game, particularly after the midweek battle, but if we're not confident after the week we've just had, we never will be. I want to see us play with a swagger (not a complacent arrogance), boss the game and put these to the sword. 3-0 Mundle, Isidor and O'Nien. HTL
