*~*~* Sunderland v West Brom match thread *~*~*


Didn't think Onien had the best of games at RB. Looked uncomfortable, and just didn't have the pace to get up and down. Hoping it's not the case tonight at LB. Right or wrong, there's 2 left footed defenders on the bench in favour of Luke who's right footed and is far more comfortable at CB.

Apart from the little concern about the balance of the staring 11, I'm confident we can get a win with Hume, Roberts, and Jobe back in the side.
 
Ballard hardly kicked a ball since pre season so what’s the science behind his selection over Alese?
Ballard isn't as injury prone as Alese, he played 40+ games last season while Alese played less than 10. The medical staff have probably assessed him and think he's at less risk than Alese of a recurring injury.
