*** Sunderland v Ipswich match thread ***

How is Wright ahead of Alves, or anyone else for that matter.

Surely not Neil at LB?

 

[gowlcra]

What was the point in Alves if you’re going to play Wright anyway? Johnson never learned a thing last season.

No idea how Gooch has kept his place either, he has been shocking

LJ has not learned anything from these defeats…..it’s a desperate team selection

 

[Mally Mackem]

Who says O’Nien is definitely playing full back?

if he plays neal at lb he might as well book his taxi now..

 

[Safc88]

That lineup and whatever formation it is is lifting

 

[Windypants]

From what I've seen they won't want him back. Awful custard cock of a player

Whenever Alves and Younger have played together, Younger has looked a much better player. I wouldn't have Alves on the bench, never mind in the team.

 

[The Situation]

Jesus, that starting lineup gets worse every time you look at it.

Horrific that.

 

[Dilligaf60]

Flanagan not picked despite Chiesa still being in his back pocket

The little teapot knows best.

 

[Yankee]

Massive game today, win and hopefully our season gets back on the rails. Lose, and I think the manager should get the chop.

@becs must not be able to get a signal at the match before anyone complains

Ha'way the thread. Come on you mad bastads. Must win. Kill kill kill etc

 

[Dilligaf60]

Ha'way the Ref.

I’m certain he’ll have a good game today.

 

[gards2]

Must win game

 

[LeicesterMackem]

I think he's going for the 19th Century Heritage line up of 1-1-8.

8 forwards, Wright as half-back, 09 as three-quarter back, + goalie.

The goals will be two posts with a bit of string between as the cross-bar.

 

[mediaclee]

if he plays neal at lb he might as well book his taxi now..

I mean, he’s chosen to play Neil there over O’Nien on at least 3 occasions this season, it could be 433 Gooch left back and O’Nien centre mid, could be 352 O’Nien centre half, could be 4231 Neil left back and O’Nien centre mid

obviously I share your hopes but I’m far from certain

 

[Summerbee]

flan must be carrying a knock..

Which is the only explanation. We'll have to wait to hear from LJ after the game.

 

[Hugh Gains]

Gooch has been absolutely awful, I mean awful yet still ahead of those on the bench, damning.

 

[Dilligaf60]

Have got a signal but you were quicker.

He’s an absolute rotter.

 

[Summerbee]

Gooch has been absolutely awful, I mean awful yet still ahead of those on the bench, damning.

It's a big game for him today.

 

[Daffy]

Seems O,Nien is undroppable

 

[bedlington mackem]

Whenever Alves and Younger have played together, Younger has looked a much better player. I wouldn't have Alves on the bench, never mind in the team.

Yes …..he has been very poor and doesnt seem to have bought into the club in the same way Dion Sanderson did even before Dions successful run in the sude

 

[Mally Mackem]

I mean, he’s chosen to play Neil there over O’Nien on at least 3 occasions this season, it could be 433 Gooch left back and O’Nien centre mid, could be 352 O’Nien centre half, could be 4231 Neil left back and O’Nien centre mid
