Perhaps we could play Dabo & Da Costa in midfield 🤣

Slightly worried that there might be a natural come down after the effort put into the last 2 matches, but if we can start the game well hopefully the confidence they must have at the moment will carry us through. Would be nice to get as high a finishing position as possible, rather than just...

Its funny, but when Platnauer joined us, Bobby Gould had to bring in an army of players to replace the loss of many of our star youngsters (Hateley, Thomas, Gillespie, Sealey, Dyson, Whitton etc), which got me thinking about the threads on here we've had on rating MR's signings this season. If...

If Taylor moves on from Forest I reckon his most likely move will be to join Bowyer at Birmingham.

Remember Platnauer joined us in Bobby Gould's first season with us, and signed from Gould's previous club Bristol Rovers along with Graham Withey. Got a feeling Platnauer may even have been player of the year that season.

Initially the league will lose some lustre without the participation of the greedy 6 of course, but the league would be much more equal in their absence and a new dynamic would soon be formed that could make the Premier League more interesting than at present. The big 6 already have big...

To be fair players will have no choice, while they have existing contracts with these clubs. Maybe I'm blinkered to the realities of the modern world, but I find it hard to believe there will be widespread interest in this tournament, and without qualification through sporting merit I can see...

Strange thing is though that unlike us I don't see Brentford, Swansea or Bournemouth changing their style as we did to counteract Barnsley''s strengths. I therefore think that if they make it they will still ruffle some feathers in a play off scenario.

The rest of football should hold firm. If these 'super' clubs want to join this money fest it should be made clear that in doing so they have to resign from the English league structure, knowing that if it goes tits up there is no quick way back for them.

Would have to re-visit our goal to see if we did steal the 20 Ignore this - misread the post by skyblueeyes revisited :confused:

I maybe wrong Otis, so please someone correct me if I am, but as I posted on a different thread they are still under the same umbrella as Cov United, which wasn't set up for the benefit of CCFC. l can't find it in myself to give a damn about them.

They are representing Coventry United not Coventry. I'm pretty sure that the club's founders were set up to wilfully work against the interests of CCFC, and probably still do. Am sure Grendel's 'friend' that used to get himself seconded onto the SBT committee, Kalns was it? was one of the main...

You are free to write what you want and go on the Sunderland forum as much as you want, just as I'm free to comment that I find those that do a bit sad.

] Ridiculous though it sounds I get the feeling if Walker smiled a bit more some of our fans would ease up on him. We need pace up front to get behind Barnsley's high defensive line so for that reason I would prefer a front 2 of Walker and Gyokeres, over Godden & Biamou.

If I was a Bristol City fan I would be spitting feathers, their players are just going through the motions. They have some quality in their squad, but like we saw when they played us a couple of weeks ago those players don't want to put the effort in. Whoever is in charge of them next season has...

Burge left 2 seasons ago, and the vast majority of us were pleased he moved on. This continuing obsession with him just seems weird.

..... but where are the goals coming from?

Be interesting to see how MR sets up for this. Going from @Barnsley & other stuff I've read it seems like they prey on teams who try to play from the back. I can't remember who they were playing, but I remember reading a report on a Barnsley game they expected to win, but drew, and were...

Maybe its an age thing on my part, but I view what you might say off the cuff in a pub or at a match as being very different to putting thoughts in writing, and which are there to be seen for eternity. Having said that I have no issue with the knee jerk match threads, which are always funny to...

Villa would only have been entitled to a fee if he was offered an 'improved' contract.
