*~*~* Sunderland v Mansfield Town match thread *~*~*

[Father Jack Hackett]

Remi Matthews. I want us to concentrate on the league anyway.

 

[Brett]

Irs pretty much the entire normal first team squad, I was going to buy it but now I'm not that bothered

 

[The Ghost of Arca]

OBrien is slowly becoming a complete and utter waste of a squad place

 

[Zidane]

Decent team out. Don't understand why everyone is crying.

 

[10 Gary Rowells]

Close the academy down like

What’s the point of it?

Exactly Embleton scored 2 in his last game for U23 so today is the perfect opportunity to try him in place of the off form Maguire. But no, Parkinson never misses an opportunity to disappoint. Why do we ever get our hopes up.

 

[hank williams]

Ex scum perch to get the winner

 

[FalkirkMackem]

Decent team out. Don't understand why everyone is crying.

Because we all know Dobson is shite so he may as well have used the opportunity to have a look at one of the younger lads.

 

[scotch]

Dobson,what is that point...Parky has already said the youngsters were playing Tuesday so only real disappointment is neil on the bench watching Dobson impersonate a footballer

 

[rubberface]

What incentive have the youn'uns got ?? And people wonder why the cream of our academy kids didn't want to stay. Piss off Parkinson, ideal opportunity today.

 

[The Ghost of Arca]

Decent team out. Don't understand why everyone is crying.

Cause its a chance to see what Neil and Embleton can offer going forward

We know how limited Power and Dobson are ffs. We dont need to continually be reminded of it

 

[MarcoG]

I honestly don't get it at all. Happy to throw McFadzean straight in because he's not a kid but Neil, Diamond and Embleton have to do what?

Just doesn't make any sense.

OBrien is slowly becoming a complete and utter waste of a squad place

Signing him and Graham and adding no pace to the attack is utterly bewildering.

 

[viccarlton]

You all go on about giving youth a chance, then moan when Dobson is picked.

Dobson has had his chance and anyone with half a brain can see that he’s nowt flash, didn’t want to be too derogatory just in case he scores a hat trick today

 

[Ghfd]

Grigg & Graham up front

That'll terrify Mansfield

tipped it during the week

extra time and pens if its a draw

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Bit confused why Hawkes got sat out yesterday then.

He is the one and only.

 

[Deleted member 31333]

For me the young players should be in today and not Tuesday. Pleased Diamonds in but can’t understand why someone like Embleton isn’t. It’s not even a risk playing him he’s already proven against league 2 opposition.

Parky has said Embleton is starting Tuesday and may get game time today - Was on Thursday/Friday press conference

 

[The Rat]

Signing him and Graham and adding no pace to the attack is utterly bewildering.

Those 2 signings will cost us promotion IMO

 

[McGregor]

Why are people raging for? the bench warmers were always going to play this, then the young uns warm the bench. A good experience for the young lads and hopefully they get some minutes today. If not it'll be first team action for them against Fleetwood on Tuesday.

Chill out people.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Better off with Frank Dobson
