Not looking good for Saturday

[Harrow QPR]

Drop stef. Huge pitch at Sunderland and he can't run so he's a liability on big pitches. I'd rather see dozzell in that role and have field and Thomas in front as at least they can run around. Our problem is we can't get around the pitch. Stef plays like hes running in treacle.

Can see your point about Stef having no pace but he's more of a creative player that like to dictate the game and keep possession , when Dozzell plays in his place we don't seem to create much and Thomas just runs a lot , thats it.

I've yet to see stef dictate anything since he's signed his contract. All he's done is grown his hair. That's it. He's too slow and his legs are gone. He loses the ball as much as he keeps it.

I'd like to see steffi given a little more freedom. I don't think he should be running 50yards making last ditch tackles it's just not his game and we need to play players more to their strengths. Having no Willock is a massive blow and it does seems like the vultures are circling. We should still be utilising him before this big move.

I would like to see Thomas feature on Saturday. He was the only one who dared to press Charlton when we should last night.

Ax much as I love Willock, has he declared himself injured to protect the big move?

[MINCER]

Maybe it’s the club owners that are protecting a possible transfer enquiry.I’m hoping it does happen quickly to give MB time to strengthen.

Sunderland losing to L1 opponents in the cup.

I reckon we'll give 'em a darn good thrashing on Sat now!

[Shania]

Sunderland`s reserve team lost to Wednesday.

If any of our players are pulling sickie’s and refusing to play for us to get better contracts elsewhere, then the club needs to nip this in the bud today, but it will probably mean cutting our nose to spite our face.

The club should warn all players who feign injury that they will train and play with the juniors for the rest of their contract or unless the club get an offer that suits us, also, they will be fined the maximum for all infringements of the clubs rules.

You have got to have discipline.

To be fair we don’t know they are pulling a sickie, Both Amos and Willock had no pre season then played probably more than the Dr or medical team would of liked and may of said look you gotta ease them in none of us know.

However we do have a lot of Darren Andertons in the squad

Warbs would contantly refer to "player loading" in his interviews and this is code for resting players to avoid serious injury. Perhaps the players have taken this to mean any ache or niggle and they're rested. All fine with a large squad, but surely players can plsy through minor knocks. Its not as if we're injecting painkillers into their knees 30 mins before kick off so they can play.

Yeah I played through pain on Saturday in golf match got Achilles tendinitis struggle to walk borrowed a golf cart and I managed it. Was either pain or in laws over for bbq sometimes you just gotta man up! Was still at work Sunday on ambulance shift. Both Amos and willock will ache if not played competitively for so long every one aches for two days after doing sod all day three fine

That is why I said if

[Undecided]

Aren't the medical staff asked for a second opinion if a player declares himself (of herself, of course) unfit?

[Jeffqpr]

No one knows anything that has gone on with these latest injuries, I’m sure something will come out from club about them in due course
