*~*~* Sunderland v Swansea match thread *~*~*

I'd rather we played Aleksic wide left. See he's back on the bench after being hung out to dry.

He isn't a left winger so he'd have the same issue as being on the right against Norwich.

It’s baffling. Every week that goes by every week I think this club is too big for Regis.
His inexperience is shining very brightly.

It's only baffling because you're thick.

Grown men crying about starting a lad who’s been with the club from being a nipper, just because he’s decided to move on end of the season.

He wouldn't, because he has at least played on the left and had an impact there for us before. He ideally should be in the centre, but definitely shouldn't be hoyed in on the RW, and then benched again after everyone had a turgid game.

Still out of position thus isn't giving him the best opportunity to shine.

So do you think he is going to give 100% in a 50 50 and risk possible injury, like a player who is playing for a contract would ? I don't, if you do that's your opinion, although I think its a blinkered one

Why wouldn’t he though? His contract with Brighton won’t be torn up if he gets injured. Equally, if that’s his mindset, why wouldn’t he have it on any game, as each one could be his last.

Glad Hjelde not starting. Good to see Jones getting a chance

We need to bring him on at some point to keep his unbeaten run going. Need him fit for the playoffs.

Id keep him on the bench til after Easter. No point risking or rushing him in these games, just need to build him up between now and the play offs.

All about getting squad back to as near full strength as possible

Ah yes left wingers are renowned for getting stuck in in those situations.

Why would his contract be torn up loads of clubs have signed injured players including us

 

[HellsBells]

If Mundle isn’t back to full fitness for the playoffs we’re going to need him

If he scores the winner in the final and then goes to Brighton he’ll be a hero for us and we’ll wish him well.

Thanks Becs.

Now, let the negativity commence. They're champing at the bit on here.

Always tempted to name it the moaning thread instead of the match thread

Fine with that 11. Aleksic shouldn’t be starting. Jones deserves the nod. Alternating Isidor/Mayenda ok. Keep Watson in the side, best option LW. I’d rather not see Samed started again.

We need to keep winning momentum.

3 points today and we could take 3rd - Sheff Utd have to play Burnley away.
