A home game against Swansea would be the ideal time to give him a start. If he isnt considered good enough to be in the team for that game then we really need to be asking questions.

He only turned 24 a fortnight ago, so theres still time for him to develop, even though hes already captained Sunderland and played 200 games in his career. I'd trust Lampard to make him a premier league player by next August, and at the very least hed be a decent player to have on the bench.

Wouldn't that put us 2 players over our maximum squad number?

Wages would be a big problem I'd imagine, I'd expect him to be earning a lot more than we would be willing to pay.

His contract is up at the end of the season, so a loan till then makes sense, it gives him a chance to get game time, and help us get over the line, while keeping every sides options open.

1 winger who can play on either wing would be ideal. And a DM who can cover Grimes/Torp Wright can also cover EMC (with Simms up front) if needs be. BTA should be back before the window closes so that adds more cover to the squad. I'd sooner see quality than quantity added, and depending on...

There's always been something a little "odd" about David Walliams IMHO. Put it this way, you wouldn't want him anywhere near children unsupervised.

He should of had 2 pens in that time though. And did get a player sent off against Preston, he also has a goal chalked off when EMC was given offside, and hes come up against goalkeepers who have played out of their skin. He is in a dry spell, but hes has no luck either.

True, although I have a feeling the club might be sold if we do get promoted. It would make sense for Doug to sell then as the club and facility would be at its highest value, and he might look to cash out and let someone with deeper pockets take over. (No idea who's out there though, maybe...

I'd like to see us invest some serious money in a proper premier league class training facility, then maybe Ryton could be used as a top level academy set up. That would set up our infrastructure to be competitive with the bigger PL clubs.

with 3 key players missing with flu, and BTA out with injury, and with the sending off leaving us with only 10 men, Saints still couldnt manage to beat us! Even with all their Premier league experience and parachute money! Our squad may be short in numbers, but there is plenty of quality...

You wouldn't believe that reading some of the comments. If we do go up this season I think a lot of people are going to be very suprised by the quality and speed of the PL

When did seasonal flu become "super flu"?

Hes a frustrating player to watch, even in this division. He has improved, but only into a championship player from a L1 player. Every time he has a good game his fan boys come on here and make out hes the next Bukaya Saka, he's not! I firmly believe he would be be little more than an...

Fuck, Smith out now. He was in good nick so I'd say this game has definitely gone now. What a shit effort from a piss poor England team. Big name players have failed to deliver, and there surely must be changes made after this fiasco. When some English batsman have spent more time on the...

I think tactically hes doing exceptionally well given the squad he inherited. Im sure he would love some more pace in the back 4 (especially CH) and cover on the wings, and a better CF option. But there's no doubt hes taken this squad to another level.

Im talking about the number of times he gave the ball away, and how he continually failed to make the most of good work by Brau. Also he looked very "leggy" even at the start of the second half. There were a number of times when we lost possession and he looked like he was running through...

Well EMC flu down the wing, ran inside his marker and got on the end of a great cross to score!

We were talking about flu Pete.

Got his foot troden on apparently. Hopefully be ok for the Swansea game.
