***** Sunderland v Cheltenham kick off 1945 *******

4231?

I’ll not comment on AOB as it’ll get bumped to fuck if he shins one in.

Hope it’s not that 4-2-2-2 with him upfront like last year though.

it won’t

I’ve no doubt we will win

just looks like a move away from what has made us successful

Players needing a rest probably... Its a long hard tiring season... And Lj probably feels Cheltenham at home is ideal to do just that

 

[houst69]

WTF

 

[The Rat]

I'd imagine it's AoB behind Stewart and not Broadhead. Not a lot wrong with the team otherwise. I'd of had Dan Neil starting all day in CM. And Alves in CB.

well apart from Neil and embleton playing

 

[Pacific]

if this doesn't go to plan he's going to get so much stick for that line up

 

[Hollby]

WTF??????

 

[Hetty]

Raining goals goals goals

442 or O'brien playing as a 10 maybe. Hope it works.

Why would he do that? He brought Pritchard in as number 10 but he hasn't got a game as Embleton has been so good. Maybe he sees Pompey as more important.

 

[Bring Back Prica]

To be fair theres goals in that attacking 4

 

[Herberthall]

Dear me and the tinkering starts.

Embleton is on a different level to AOB...............yes/no?

And the form Embleton is in.

 

[mad maxim]

Thought this was a league game not league cup like. Wright and O'Brien, lordy.

 

[Wirral Mackem]

We have to trust LJ, and what he sees behind the scenes and in training, if we come out with 3pts class, along with resting players and game time for fringe players. Fingers crossed, trust manager, trust squad

 

[D1993]

Cheltenham fans on social media seem to think they are playing 5-4-1, might explain the attacking side Johnson has put out

 

[The Albanian]

I’m ok with that team tbh.

Neil sounded leggy in the last game and Embleton wasn’t as prominent as he usually is - taking the young lads out and giving them a break will do them good.

Looks like he’s put a team out that want to win by a few. Really attacking side that.

Think it’ll be 48-0 personally

 

[Onlyfoolsrushin]

He's using the squad and giving some of the youngsters a break by the looks of it. Still a team who should see off Cheltenham.

 

[Hollby]

Can’t imagine West Ham are happy with Alves’ situation here like. Coming here to be 4th choice behind Bailey Shite.

 

[McGregor]

well apart from Neil and embleton playing

Clearly resting the lads, against weaker opposition. Fair enough.. We have a squad for a reason.

 

[Longy]

Few too many unenforced changes for my liking.

We have got a lot of games coming up like.

Good for O'Brien gets a chance and other key players rested.
