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

[leerik_canamole]

Suppose it's the whole point of having a squad, we're able to rest players and hopefully still put a team out capable of winning.

 

[Big Duke Six]

Chance for a few fringe players to shine. Good management IMHO.

 

[South Banker Wolf]

Good luck lads and lasses.

 

[Herberthall]

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

But he's not playing...............so he's been dropped/replaced/rested.

Still think we'll win and hopefully he's back Saturday in his favoured position.

It looks like a strange team selection but it should be enough to win against a team ravaged with injuries. Like always a win and its vindicated and using our squad depth.

 

[Ghandi Floss]

I feel a lot more comfortable this season with him switching things round. Plus, O’Brien had a good game against Wigan.
If we win tonight with this team, it’ll give even more belief throughout the club and supporters.

Perry on loan from Wolves but not pulling any trees up Hank.

Pritchard isnt match fit yet

Never going to be if he doesn't play

 

[Gibraltar Mackem]

AYYYYYYEEEEEEEE.

Lads barely 20 needing a ‘rest’.

Bizarre.

 

[Lionel Hutzz]

Players needing a rest probably... Its a long hard tiring season... And Lj probably feels Cheltenham at home is ideal to do just that

Don't talk sense on here

 

[Old Prestonian]

I really hope that team selection doesn't bite us on the arse.

 

[The Rat]

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

absolute jackpot that. Best place to watch the big games too

 

[Blyth]

Looking forward to seeing Broadhead and Huggins mind. Evans is our best midfielder as well. Let’s see how it goes.

 

[ontap]

good to see a manager having the balls to use his squad. Neil and Embo both had their quietest match for us yet v Bolton , so giving em a break is good management.

 

[Terry Dactyl]

7-0

 

[mattyp72]

I was expecting changes and I'm quite happy with the team, but am surprised O'Brien is starting. Think he deserves at least the bench but getting straight in is surprising. No out and out forwards on the bench

 

[Nelson!]

Lads barely 20 needing a ‘rest’.

Bizarre.

What a weird comment: of course young lads in their first full season of adult football need a rest.

Johnson getting hammered because people don’t understand squad rotation and youth development. Par for the course.

 

[Billy Fish]

3-0 Broady, Stew and Evans
