Not seen a thread as of yet for team on Sunday. Mine would be Gordon Bardo/O'Shea/Killa/Bridge Campbell/Meyler/Colback/McClean Sess/Wickham Subs Mig Turner Vaughan Cattermole Reed Cook Bendtner Strong enough side to win on their day as well as giving the likes of meyler plus wickham a runout. Have some of the young lads who've just returned from their loans on the bench. Thoughts?
Davies taught Killa and Turner a lesson the other day! Deffo bring O'Shea back to centre half. I think O'Neill will bring in proper fullbacks next season (about bloody time!) I'd like to see Meyler given a run, see where he is at. Also Wickham. I'd like to see Bendtner upfront with Wickham and Sess tried in CM. I'd like to see Westwood Bardsley O'Shea Killgallon Bridge Gardner Meyler Sess' Mcclean Bendtner Wickham
I am pretty sure MON won't play Bridge (see no benefit in giving him a run out)Meyler (clearly dosn't rate him) or Wickham ( not fit ) MON dosn't, make wholesale changes Gardner will return and that will be about it.
Makes no difference this season will end terrible for us (as usual) we will most likely finish 14th now, and they will make the champions league. I don't know about nthe Fulham game but no ex Man u players should be involved in our last match because Man c will accuse them of throwing the game WHEN we lose. Are we ever going to get a team out there good enough for the top 6 ?, how have the mags done it ?., 30 years ago i started going to home matches and little has changed.
..................Gordon............. Bardo..oshea.....turner..bridge elmo...colback...Gardner..mcclean .....................Sess............................ ..................Bendtner...................... Don't care what anyone thinks elmo did very well when he came on against Bolton and did more in 10 minutes than Campbell did there in the whole time before that. If he's playing ****e bring Campbell on by all means.
A few hints maybe? SIMON Mignolet could restrict Craig Gordon’s first-team comeback to a solitary game by regaining his starting spot for Sunderland’s trip to Fulham this weekend. Gordon made his first competitive appearance in 14 months against Bolton last Saturday after Martin O’Neill fulfilled his vow to hand the Scotland international a chance before the end of the season. With less than two months to run on Gordon’s contract, Black Cats boss O’Neill had wanted to see the £9million keeper in action before deciding whether to offer him a new deal at the Stadium of Light. But having seen Gordon in the flesh, O’Neill hinted that Mignolet could resume first-choice duties for Sunderland’s final two games, with the Belgian holding down a starting spot since replacing the ill Keiren Westwood for New Year’s Day’s victory over Manchester City. O’Neill told the Echo: “I think Simon will be really unfortunate if he didn’t play in the final games. “Simon has done particularly well this season, but we just decided to give Craig a game. “I know Keiren Westwood lost his place through illness, but this was something I mentioned to the goalkeepers at a meeting a couple of weeks ago. “In my mind, that’s a different issue to someone coming in through different circumstances. “Craig did very well and I’m sure he will have been a bit nervous beforehand, going out there and being thrown into the game. “But it might have proved something to himself. “Craig’s main issue is to get properly fit and the rest will follow. “If he’s 100 per cent fit, it means he’s psychologically as well as physically fit. “If he gets back to being the goalkeeper he was, that would be great for everyone, regardless of what happens in the summer.” Mignolet may not be the only change on Sunday, with John O’Shea and Nicklas Bendtner (left) both injury concerns after sustaining foot injuries in training this week, albeit O’Neill is confident the pair will be available. “I spoke to John yesterday and he’s feeling better,” said O’Neill. “He went in for treatment on Wednesday and so did Bendtner. They’re both improving and we’ve got until Sunday so I’m hopeful both will be okay.” O’Neill is also boosted by the return of midfielder Craig Gardner after the 25-year-old completed a one-match ban, with the Sunderland manager quick to dismiss any speculation potentially returning regarding the former Birmingham City man being homesick. “Craig gives us another option,” he added. “He hasn’t discussed the home sickness with me for some considerable time and we’ll see what develops in the summer.” Titus Bramble could also figure in the squad after participating in a second week of training, although Connor Wickham remains sidelined with an ankle injury.
