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

[Portishead Mackem]

Matthews for Burge has the potential to bite us in the arse come 5pm. Huge mistake incoming.

Both suspect so don’t see much change there, sad reality of our goalkeeping options.

 

[Hongkongphooey]

He doesn’t act like he has hands at all

Only appear when he picks the ball out of the net

 

[foghorn]

I've never seen mathews but burge is absolutely horrendous. I refuse to believe mathews is worse

You're in for suprise...he is shocking

 

[Yankee]

Good to see Power has retained his place and captaincy after his marvellous display against Mansfield.

 

[TravellingMackem]

Hate to say it but Scowen ended up centre half mid week 343 Willis Wright Scowen; O'Nein Leadbitter Power Hume; Gooch behind Wyke and Grigg. Don't know why Matthews is starting if Burge on the bench think we could struggle today

What are you on about? Scowen didn’t play midweek. Dobson did.

I've never seen mathews but burge is absolutely horrendous. I refuse to believe mathews is worse

Honestly man he's absolutely dreadful, I would be amazed if we keep a clean sheet.

 

[Crook Mackem]

Won't take you long to backtrack on that

 

[bobpc30]

Happy with Grigg being in, Max Power? Was expecting one of the younger players.

 

[skunk hater]

at least its 2 up top.

 

[Grammar Police]

Cant understand why Diamond isn’t starting like.

He's young, mobile and talented.

Happy with Grigg being in, Max Power? Was expecting one of the younger players.

Fat chance with Mr Dead as manager.

 

[mart]

It is pathetic. Power talked about seeing a different side to his game when he was put in an advanced role - since then no goals and no assists. To me you either play Leadbitter or Power not both. And Leadbitter is at least twice the player Power is.

Power wanders around the pitch as if he’s Gerrard in his prime trying 40 yard passes and long range shots. The problem is, the vast majority of his passes are overhit or easily cut out and his shooting is shite. He can’t tackle either. He only ever seems to be involved when things are going well.

 

[rapscallion]

There’s a lot defensive about 3 defensive midfielders sat in a line about 5 yards off the halfway line not pushing at all mind

Graham mightn't get on this week mate

 

[The Beautiful Game]

at least its 2 up top.

Has been all season but no matter which combination of two we put out they’re useless

 

[Hongkongphooey]

You're in for suprise...he is shocking

This, absolute dogshit of a keeper.

 

[Leon Solent]

Has to play 4 at the back that selection.

Agreed. But Parkyball is "MK Dons - Must Not Lose". He's not brave enough to use his players wisely and play 4-4-2.

 

[McGregor]

So why play Willis in that exact same instance?

Ill guarantee Embleton is fitter still than Willis at the mo as he looked knackered mid week

Embleton is a far more important player in my opinion, but maybe Willis is just fitter atm?

 

[mackemal]

What are you on about? Scowen didn’t play midweek. Dobson did.

Your absolutely right I've haven't even had a drink just losing the plot

 

[10 Gary Rowells]

There isn't much defensive about one extra proper forward (in theory - but he's a clip) and Scowen behind.

+ A midfielder of sorts in the back line mate.

I have no problems with Scowen but he's never played the number 10 role. If you are playing with Power and Leadbitter surely it gives the protection to play a number 10 be it Maguire, Embleton, Neil or whoever. The reality is that none of Leadbitter, Scowen or Power are attacking midfielders but PP shoe horns them in as he is the most cautious, defensive manager imaginable.

 

[filfy]

Other than Diamond and Sanderson that bench of dross is lifting !!

 

[Deleted member 41188]

If that’s ONien at CB then he can fuck right off.

Totally clueless.
