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

[zidanny]

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

Because Mayender is shite out wide and offers nothing defensively. He has to play off Isidor to be effective.

 

[rapscallion]

Good that Abdul hasn't sneaked in again

 

[safc9450]

Our best CB dropped - Interesting

He did get clattered last time out.!

 

[Murfster08]

Poveda injured again

Didn't even notice that but looks it

 

[Gloopy20141]

Wouldn't have played Rigg but other than that not a bad line up. Needs be a big improvement from last 2 home games

 

[freckletooth]

Poveda out complete- injured again?

 

[zidanny]

Would have swapped him for Aleksic

100%

 

[Hetty]

Atleast it aint Goodman on commentary, he's doing Sheff Utd v Boro

 

[splorty]

Strange, very strange. 1 up top against the weakest away side in the league.

 

[jackynutmeg]

I would of gave Rigg a rest and started Mayenda. Brave call dropping Mepham

I would have gave him a rest and put Le Fee there and Aleksic on the left

 

[Herberthall]

Oginsuyi and Jones are there purely to fill the bench. They won't be considered.

Still ...

 

[phil]

Would have preferred to start with Mayenda.

 

[Daffy]

Mayenda should have been in for Rigg

 

[Liverpool Beachball]

What an absolute waste of space Poveda has been to date

 

[hank williams]

No Samed phew

 

[SuperSunderland]

Unless Mepham's got a knock that's not a good defensive choice imo. Why have one accident waiting to happen when you can have two?
Then again, defence hasn't exactly been our strong point recently, might actually work!

Think Onein and Ballard will struggle with Morris

 

[kingkeane]

Just release Poveda

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

Poveda man what a waste of money

I’d have swapped Rigg for Mayenda. Time for a Paddy Roberts masterclass.

 

[chuckyroll]

Strange, very strange. 1 up top against the weakest away side in the league.

Will need to score at least twice to win it

 

[Inside Forward]

Dropping Mepham instead of O’Nien.
