***** Sunderland v Cheltenham kick off 1945 *******

[Northern Munkey]

Not surprised with the team at all. Neil and Embo due a rest. Changes enforced at the back.

Broadhead and AOB have looked good on the cup. Pritchard yet to really impress.
Only shock for me is McGeady starting a game after 90 on Saturday

Ha’way the lads 2-0

 

[Deleted member 22162]

one of Pritchard, embleton and even Neil had to play

yeah

not that arsed tbh as I think we’ve a canny squad, just slightly surprised he’s gone for a left field lineup (and possibly a change in shape) given our good form and few injuries

 

[Herberthall]

It's been discussed. The manager obviously thinks Portsmouth is a more difficult game.

Fair enough marra

 

[turnthetide3]

Wright has to convince me tonight, but I think Cheltenham will certainly consider him a non-runner...

 

[Jerryatric]

I am happy to see some rotation, these squad players need minutes. Given the injuries some changes were forced but this gives us all a chance to see a different X1 and how they can cope. That said we know how strong the bench is, if needed.

 

[Zidane]

Well this is a test. Squad game and all that and ours was seen to be much better than Wigans.

It looks a bit thrown together to be honest. Any win will do tonight.

 

[sessafc]

Why would he do that? He brought Pritchard in as number 10 but he hasn't got a game as Embleton has been so good. Maybe he sees Pompey as more important.

Hope we're not looking past Cheltenham, they'll be right up for this.

 

[West_Winger]

Hope he isn’t underestimating Cheltenham with that starting 11. We’re their cup final.

 

[McGregor]

Why drop him?

I don't think he's been dropped. He's using his squad.

 

[The Hunter]

Not keeping people happy...He's keeping key players fresh against a team that we should best with the line-up he's gone for. And I think we will beat them...He's got great options on the bench, too!

 

[Al Bundy]

Expected some changes to be honest.
Confident we’ll win 2 or 3 nil

 

[waddy999]

Some pessimistic buggers on here like, he’s obviously resting a few.
Believe In Lee Johnson…
…perhaps not that then.
HTL!

 

[Dilligaf60]

Bloke can’t help himself.
Our chance to go top anarl

Very odd, although I should be used to it now. I hope it works.

 

[FReaK]

Some right moaning fannies on this thread already.

He loves mcgeady

 

[Hooley13]

I’m happy with the side, few players like Neil, embleton could do with a rest maybe the managers thinking about Portsmouth on sat. That teams more than capable of getting the 3 points.

 

[Scotty 1978]

Haway the lads

buzzing for this

am on holiday anyone get an extra buzz being abroad watching it?

Same here mate, found a bar with good wifi and it has all the champions league games on the big screens.

 

[Pilly]

I'd rather put O'nien at centre back and have Neil alongside Evans. Bailey Wright is an accident waiting to happen, especially in these conditions.

Neil has gone from zero league starts to playing nearly every minute. We’ve got to manage this supreme talent carefully. If we can’t manage a single game at home without him starting it’s unlikely we’re getting promoted

 

[tenpins]

Win 3-0
Bailey Wright man of the match.

 

[Chop Sauce]

Crazy team
