Gordon Strachan tried his hardest to get Dion to convert to centre back. Read this.

Pask would be more likely to fill that roll, he has played as a defensive midfielder before. Tongue in cheek, I know, but there are many examples of players converting to a totally different roll and excelling in their new position. Kevin Phillips started his playing career at right back, and...

The two on the left have got very thin left legs. Worrying, if they are new signings

Wow! can that apply to me as well?

There could be some big bargains available, It's going to be a balance between signing players early to get the squad settled as soon as possible, and waiting to see how many players become available on the cheap. I don't wish administration on any club, but Wigan could just be the start.

They won't finish in the relegation places this season I don't think. They have 50 points and have collected 13 points from the last 5 games, including 3-0 last night

I feel a bit sorry for their supporters, they have been in the playoffs 3 out of the last 4 years and lost them all. Their supporters were not a bad bunch as I remember.

Doesn't sound right, I prefer the White Christmas version

Easy to schedule games so that both teams don't play home games at the same time surely?

I would take another look at the stats if I were you. Coventry City 1-0 Sunderland: Matt Godden strike sends Sky Blues top of League One As you say, we sat back on our lead as we did in many games this season. 48% possession and more shots on goal (on and off target) is hardly being played off...

Not this year, it was difficult to find any L1 form table we weren't top of

If he was offered one last year it would still be on the table I assume. They wouldn't necessarily need to improve on any offer made last year in order to be entitled to compensation

A lot of Sunderland supporters have been very complementary to us this season. Let's wish them all the best for next season. It's not going to affect us.

For me strangely enough, it was the 1-1 draw against Rotherham. We came back from a goal down against a side who were top of the league, and really we should have won that game. Having been the only team to hammer us all season, we were now the better team. Incidently our form between games 11...

But I don't think we have had any real bad luck this season, and we could have easily been hit much worse with injuries. A number of our injuries occurred either last season or in the pre-season, and if I am correct, we haven't had an injury since October when we lost Kelly for a few games...

I should have said lucky with injuries to key players. Jones & Biamou were never factored in as key players this season as far as I know. Jobello was a blow at the time but in hindsight his absence did not adversely affect the team, as I covered in my post. Pask was injured pre-season, and has...

One thing about MR, I won't call him a lucky manager because that would imply that somehow we didn't deserve it, but he certainly hasn't been unlucky, and even the best managers need a bit of luck occasionally. We have been incredibly fortunate this season with injuries, and although we had a...

I nearly voted. good job I didn't, I'd have looked a right wally.
