*~*~* Sunderland v MK Dons match thread *~*~*

[AC Mack]

It'll be interesting to see how Power, Scowen and Grigg link up if it's the same formation.

Grigg won't drop as deep as Maguire, I wouldn't have thought.

 

[10 Gary Rowells]

Unbelievable team selection, this incompetent moron is determined to fuck up this promotion campaign...

It truly appears that way. Why go defensive against a team near the bottom?

 

[samaistonsrightfoot]

You watch today - Power gets the ball in an attacking position - he then swivels back and lays the ball off to a defender - happens every time. Can any apologists for Parkinson defend him playing 3 defensive CM's at home to MK Dons? Check their passports Phil - it clearly says 'Defensive midfielder' under their job title section.

Gives it to Hume the disappears expecting Hume to carry it 30 yards. Does it all the time.

 

[leerik_canamole]

Shock Dan being nowhere near the squad. Only decent ball playing cm we have

 

[Mr Redknapp]

O'nien is not a centre back.
Gooch is not a wing back.
Power is not a footballer.

Sack the clown now.

 

[chuckyroll]

Grigg is a big call.

I've heard him called other things

 

[Thatheaderman]

5-3-2.

Haway the lads.

 

[L1lyBrown]

The last transfer window was a PP masterclass judging by that team.

 

[Jack Torrance]

The young keeper should have played if he was going to drop Burge

 

[Mary Hinge]

Fookin Dino's all owa the shop.....

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

What the fuck has he done to the team man?

Also no Embleton or Neil on the bench

Embleton is being looked after. He wasn't supposed to play 90 minutes on Tuesday, otherwise I think he's have been on the bench at least. For me, Neil didn't do enough on Tuesday.

 

[jackynutmeg]

Parkinson is after a pay off from the incoming owners

 

[callum]

No Embleton in squad; Is he injured?

 

[AC Mack]

fuck knows what formation this will be, but there is going to be a massive gap in the middle of the park between the 3cm's and the two lumps up top

i think he is just hoping to get it out wide constantly with scowen and power, have the wing backs overlapping, and get the cross count over 50 , thats why he's lumped another 'body' in the middle up top with wyke, just hoping something falls for one of them for a tap in

there won't be a single forward pass, into feet or for the forwards to run onto, through the middle third of the pitch.

Depends on the roles of Power and Scowen. Leadbitter sitting in front of the back four should free them up to get forward and stretch the play.

 

[Swinny14]

As the weeks go by, I'm convinced he draws straws to pick the team.

Giving him too much credit there Becs

Protect the point you start with is his motto the useless ****

 

[OohBaldyBally]

3-1 win

hawayawayawayaaaaaaa

 

[GBJS]

4-4-2 Hopefully.

No chance he’s playing 4-4-2

 

[Scotty 1978]

Imagine playing Power, Leadbitter and Scowen all in the same team at home to Mk Dons with three centre backs, the Bolton years have ruined Phillip

I’d be very surprised if he changes formation. He’d sooner shoehorn players in out of position than change formation to suit the players despite not having enough fit CB’s.
