dick said he wouldn't risk Watmore so I hope now we are safe he gets a run out. Johnson has to start as....well you know. I'd give Mannone a run out also. If Brown is fit I'd play him (probs last game before retirement). Likewise Revelliere. ---------Mannone--------- Rev---Coates--Brown--Pva --Larsson-Catts-Rodwell-- Watmore-Fletcher-Johnson
Cattermole one booking away from 3 game ban running into next season, Larssonn knackered and deserves a rest. Would go something like⦠Pants Jones/O'Shea/Coates/PVA Bridcutt Rodwell/Giachh Watmore/Defoe/Johnson
Brown, Larsson and Bridcutt are all out according to the early forcasts fella, joining Gomez, Alvarez.
I'd rest Catts so that he can't get a booking and pick up a three game ban for next season (though if Bridcutt, Larsson and Gomez are all out we might have no choice but to play him). I'd give Rodwell a chance to finally impress, and Watmore should get at least half an hour from the bench.
Looking at our very growing injury list, I'd line up like this Mannone Rev, O'shea, Coates, PVA Watmore, Rodwell, Honeyman, AJ Mandron, Defoe Subs: Pants, Vergini, Jones, Catts, Wickham, Fletcher, Graham
Good shout, but I wouldn't risk Catts at all. Let the lad get his flip flops on put Giach in his place, or better still, start Giach and drop Honeyman to the bench.

Whilst I agree totally about not playing Catts... I bet he is desperate to play. Should never have been booked in the Leicester game compared to other fouls in the same game. Reputation eh? Same in a number of other games as well. We're safe and I'd certainly be resting him. But I'm not in charge
Time to give the kids a chance, need to rest Seb & Catts please log in to view this image http://www.footballuser.com/post/team/722/Sunderland
With all the injury problems and the fact we are safe, it is surely time to give a few of the youngens in...Step forward Watmore playing off either Fletcher or Wickham in a front two partnership..
