*~*~* Sunderland v Plymouth match thread *~*~*

[nelford_safc]

WEll no disrespect but if we can’t start him against Plymouth then we might aswell send him back

True.

 

[DoctorMick]

Quite simple really. Samed dm, jobe and neal cm , Roberts rw, le fee lw

You say that but when Samed came on during the week Neil didn’t change position.

 

[MadMackem7]

If it’s Neil and Jobe as 8s I can’t believe it it’s finally happening

Have potential to seriously control the game

 

[Gateshead8]

Yes

Not to be disrespectful of Plymouth,but Midfield set up with an eye on some of the big games coming up maybe.good to get minutes into samed,Rigg rested and maybe some other options from the bench

YES! YES! YES!

 

[Ned Land]

I hope we see the return of the high press. Keep saying it but since this new coach has rocked up it’s pretty much gone. Got to go at them 100 miles an hour from the off.

Yet we’re still 4th.

 

[Windypants]

Harsh on Mayenda but at least Reggie will have a realistic, game changing option off the bench this afty!

He's got a bunch of realistic options. Aleksic and Poveda were both very good for the U21s and Aouchiche, Rigg and Mayenda have all been very good playing for the 1st XI.

 

[ajsafc]

Haway the lads.

 

[BucketBiff]

Rigg just needs a few more games on the right. He could play anywhere.

I disagree. He’s better with someone outside of him. If he’s going to be used as a RW we need a natural winger on the left to stretch teams.

 

[Hendon hotspurs]

Its pretty much samed replacing Rigg.

Had to stare at the team list for a minute to work out what I was seeing. That is an interesting midfield.

And something to blame for our inevitable defeat....

 

[RossTheNinja]

Didn’t paul mcshane play CL for Man Utd

I think you mean Paul McShane - Speed Demon

 

[Toothless]

We should get a bastard hat full today but thisxis Sunderland of course

 

[Fetch Fletch]

Its pretty much samed replacing Rigg.

It’s not at all. He’s taken the holding role, Bellingham and Neil both 8s, if anything, Neil has taken Riggs spot.

 

[BucketBiff]

Yet we’re still 4th.

Good observation

 

[safc9450]

Poveda injured yet?

Been told not to pull his bootlaces too tight .Might pull a muscle !

 

[Gloucester]

Any win would be nice. Should be a comfortable fixture if the players perform to their usual standards.

I would welcome being two goals clear late in the game so I don’t have hold my breath every time Plymouth launches the ball into our box.

 

[Fetch Fletch]

I can see that the Poveda is fat posts will already be lined up ready.

 

[Ned Land]

Good observation

Thanks mate. What’s your opinion of Dodds & Proctor this week?

 

[Chewit]

Samed

Neil pushed further up with Jobe

Ha'way the Lads!

Don’t think so , but we will see

 

[BucketBiff]

Nice bench so for the first time in ages we have options to mix it up.

 

[connolly_31]

I mean, he's only played CDM in the Champions League

And came back for a very long lay off. Give him time and he could be exactly what we’ve “lacked” in there. Covering a shit load of ground and protecting the back four.

He will not create goals or score them but do the shitty stuff and let the other, more “technical” players flourish.

I hope.
