Barnes

Doubt we'd see Barnes starting again, no where near good enough. But hey ho. Striker in January.
Dervisoglu on the bench bodes well for my prediction of him scoring in the derby.

I’d rather have me up front today than Barnes. And I have flu.

Is this a 4-4-2? Possibly enforced by Cork and Jay needing a rest.

Must have a few injuries,if we win with this team we’ll **** this league.

Still no Maatsen and Beyer is disappointing, huge losses at the back. Looking forward to another 1-1!

The schedule of matches is punishing, which seems to be contributing to the number of knocks we’re picking up, so roatating the squad is something that must be done.

Go Barnesy. Prove them all wrong.
Peacock-Farell would be better for me too! Muric not very good and kicking not much of a bonus.

Cork and Jay on the bench is a surprise, but given the volume of games I guess both will need to be managed sensibly.

Ashley Barnes is done a a footballer ! He can’t run. I hope I’m wrong and he scores today but he’s been about as useful as a chocolate fireguard the last 2 seasons

Not to worry. Barnes will get the first of his 20 goals this season today.
Re: Sunderland vs Burnley Match Thread

I hope I’m eating my words come 5 o’clock but that starting eleven is a bit suspect.
Re: Sunderland vs Burnley Match Thread

Obviously really hope Barnes does well today but I just can’t see it unfortunately

Yous say that's the weakest XI we've named thus season but it's still a very respectable Championship outfit. You'd fear for that team in the air though. Presume it starts 4231 withJBG at 10 per the switch at Birmingham but it could be a variation on 442/4222.
Be interesting to see how Barnes goes in a team with the pace to get beyond him. Didn't have that option in his earlier starts this season but its often brought out the best in him historically.

I think Barnes knows he needs to deliver because time is running out for him at this level , I hope he scores a hat trick now or help's the team to win , also hope Brownhill can have a good game in midfield.

Need a good performance from Brownhill today. I rate him but unconvinced he can play in a midfield two. Harsh perhaps because he's only mostly had the chance to do that for us in the Premier League against obviously better players.
Re: Sunderland vs Burnley Match Thread

About as weak a team we can put out really hope the mackems are a poor outfit or we could be up against it, really don't get why Bastien isn't getting a sniff thought brownhills form has dipped the last few games after the standards he had hit, hope I'm wrong but doesn't fill me with confidence when I see Roberts, Taylor and muric in the same starting 11.

Don’t think either Jay or Cork can play 3 games in a week and We need our best team v Norwich
Re: Sunderland vs Burnley Match Thread

Massive drop in class between a Premier League midfield and Championship. Huge. And he has better players ahead of him than we had in the Premier League.

What a bizarre signing Dervisoglu is if he can’t get in ahead of Barnes.
Re: Sunderland vs Burnley Match Thread
Posted: Sat Oct 22, 2022 2:21 pm
I thought I'd seen him on the bench before, but I'll take your word for it. Interesting it's instead of Long, unless Long is out for some reason.
Re: Sunderland vs Burnley Match Thread

Looks like Dervisoglu is purely here for cover. Brentford may already know that.

We sign a striker on loan and play Barnes!!!!!!!!!

On the bench, came on and nearly scored at Watford.

Roberts at left back ? Pity our best LB is stuck in the wholly unsuitable CB role . It’s an odd looking line up with JBG in deep mid. Presume Jay/Cork getting a break and no Maetsen/Benson either . We have enough here but maybe only just .

Afternoon all from a wet Galway , hummmm love seeing McNally make the bench also .
Not sure what to expect today but going to be a big crowd so hopefully we put on a show .

Strange selection and doesn't look strong enough imo, but we'll see. I know VK is being hampered by niggling injuries and also fixtures coming thick and fast so let's hope he's called it right come 5.00!

2 players out and games coming quick, hence the need for changes.

Let's get behind the lads, looks like a more attacking lineup to me with 2 up top. COYC!
Re: Sunderland vs Burnley Match Thread

WE seem to be suffering from a number of minor injuries, disrupting our continuity in line up, and still no news on Twine. May be a surprise Bastien does not get a start in view of this-particularly if Josh is going to play deeper with Cork out. Bastiem in my opinion can count himself unfortunate with the amount of minutes he has played
