wendyredredrobin Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 Team for Sunderland: Fielding Pisano Flint Wright Bryan Patterson Brownhill Pack O'Dowda Đurić Taylor Korey to replace Marlon when fit. Bobby may be able to play alongside Milan - we shall see. When Baker is fit, I am happy with any pairing from Flint, Baker and Wright at the back. Seems like we are pretty much agreed, though Lee will adjust the side based on his gameplan, fitness and the type of threat Sunderland pose. I too am not yet convinced by Fammy, Leko or Eliasson.

JoeAman08 Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 I feel like Wright is so much more average on the left. Had a poor game imo last night. If he’s playing he has to be on the right side of the pitch. It won’t happen though as can’t realky drop Flint and he’s probably be worse than BW on the left. I’d go Wright/Flint and Mags personally. Mags looked assured last night especially at CB though they had given up by then. Fielding Pisano Wright Mags Bryan COD Pack Brownhill Pato Reid Taylor Steele, Milan, Eliasson, Leko, Flint, Kelly, Bakinson(no other CM fit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 you can see why maggers isn't in the team, I thought he was our worst player last night, Bryan is a must at Left Back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted October 25, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 Personally think Taylor has to start up top with either Famara or Djuric, the team defends so much further up the pitch and lets our midfield more time on the ball Yes the Bobby "experiment" worked up to now, but we look a greater threat with the others there - I wonder whether we could get Reid playing behind the front two?

Kingswoodactor Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 Flint has obviously done well since coming back in, but we're all forgetting how good the Wright/Baker CB partnership was at the start of the season. Would maybe like to see that return when possible. Bailey is a far better player when on the right hand side of the two CB positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a downgrade on Bryan. Then again, I'm always telling people to judge players after a run of starts so should probably take my own advice. He's hardly had regular games. His long throw with Đurić is a real weapon though. Other than that I like that team for the moment with the injuries. Some strong players to come back too - Smith, Baker.

Probably need to double up on him all afternoon as he's their biggest threat. Don't think Joe would double up too well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Cigar Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 The biggest dilemma is when Baker's fit. Can't see Johnson dropping our captain and Baker is a guaranteed starter. Will he drop Flint? And, would rather a natural RB playing RB. Would be a big call to drop Flint when all 3 are fit and firing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pisano's injury made things easier for LJ as Wright slotted in, but when all fit???? Flint has been brilliant, Leeds showed how important Baker is and with Wright playing at RCB he has shown how good he can be. Glad I don't have to decide. I think Pisano and Bryan are nailed on if fit so perm 2 from 3, difficult. The option is a 3/5 at the back, both Pisano and Bryan can play WB but it limits width further up. Wouldn't be surprised to see something like FF Wright-Flint-Baker Pisano Bryan Brownhill-Pack-Pato Đurić - Reid It's good we have options in formation, and types of player. Once we get them fit.

GrahamC Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 On the evidence of last night I would be amazed if Paterson started on Saturday. It seemed very odd to me that he came on at all, at 4-1 up surely it was a good chance to give Vyner (or Eliasson) 20 minutes? By the end he was really struggling and I noticed at the final whistle he was on his haunches for a couple of minutes, completely whacked. Top player but that illness has clearly taken it right out of him and he may well miss out completely at Sunderland if we have the numbers.

He was on a drop over the weekend so god knows how he managed to play. When he came on, I didn't even realise he was on the bench. And he did look rather thin.

I bloody hate 3-5-2. It may suit players like Bryan, but two things happen: 1. The 3 CBs just get in each others' way. 2. We get outnumbered in midfield. Happened two season ago under Cotterill. Ok, we have better centre-backs now, but it's a massive risk. I can't see Johnson going with this either. One will have to be dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was surprised he was out there, he didn't look ready to be playing last night. If he was ill enough to be on a drip he must have been pretty bad. That sort of illness takes a while to get your strength back from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
