*~*~* Sunderland v Luton match thread *~*~*

[rapscallion]

It’s depressing how so many people are unable to join the obvious dots between him getting a knock, being subbed off and not starting today.

How do they get through the day? Is every event just an isolated incident to be interpreted to fit the thing you want to whinge about?

You must be easily depressed

 

[Hendon hotspurs]

He clearly took a knock on Saturday, so makes sense for him not to start the game if he's not clear of the injury.

That's far too sensible! Should get involved with the "Dropped our best defender!" Mob

 

[TradingPlaces]

We will never see Le Fee playing centre midfield will we?

 

[Cyprus]

We must start playing Mayenda up top with Isidor. We definitely need to be more positive at home, it’s starting to cost us. Can’t wait for Mundle and Watson to get back.

RLB needs to play more on the offensive side at home, we also tend to sit back once we have scored, we are actually better at chasing a game than holding onto a game. If we want promotion we have got to be more positive.

 

[Hendon hotspurs]

Disappointing team.

Not learning from his mistakes and sticking with his favourites.

Roberts / Rigg / even O’Nien should be out.

So who plays instead of Rigg?

 

[LambethMackem]

Has anyone checked that windows 98 luton town message board? Are they feeling confident?

 

[Peterlee James]

I don’t understand the Samed situation.

I would have understood more if he played tonight and not against Plymouth or Watford.

 

[joop]

Just another way to shoehorn onien in no matter what

Couple of points.
1. Onien has played there all season so no shoehorning.
2. Its the same team formation so no shoehorning anything.

Did you have a bet you could use that term tonight?

Jensen Seelt has been named in the matchday squad for the first time since the Black Cats’ trip to Southampton on 9 March 2024

O9 staying - Mepham dropping for Ballard - Is horrendous choice

 

[Betty Swollocks]

Mayenda starts over Rigg for me but otherwise ok.

 

[Gloucester]

Ballards a good defender but not sure I’d have dropped Mepham for him. Glad Jobes back in.

I am glad to see Jobe back but do think he was much more influential prior to his suspension.

 

[Exapno Mapcase]

Roberts needs to step up his game tonight or there's going to be some serious questions why he's playing ahead of Mayenda

There's a whole miserable thread of this 'serious questions' nonsense. Roberts is a better player than Mayenda, espeçially out wide. Mayenda up top with Rigg having a breather might make more sense.

 

[me is back]

Think we are going to see earlier changes today. Would not be surprised to see Mayenda and Aleksic get 30 mins against tiring defenders, and Mepham on to see out a tight nail biting 2v1 victory…

 

[Hendon hotspurs]

Hmm, i will admit that Bris is such better manager than I could ever be.

But, or however or notwithstanding

I would have Mayenda and Mepham in the
starting 11, and move Rigg and Roberts to the bench

Let's see where we are at 9.45pm

So you'd replace Rigg with mepham?

 

[Kev75]

O9 staying - Mepham dropping for Ballard - Is horrendous choice

We will see.

 

[Fletch]

Absolute must win tonight
2-0 to the lads

 

[Julio Mackemo]

Poveda ??? I mean I thought he looked canny on Saturday

 

[rupert rigsby]

We will never see Le Fee playing centre midfield will we?

yes for Leeds next season in the premier league

 

[SAFC Wilks]

IMO, both CBs have been poor. Either could have been dropped tonight. Pleased to see Jobe back in and Samed back on the bench.

Would have put Mayenda in for Roberts personally.
