Team for Sunderland

[BB4Claret]

Trafford

Roberts —— McNally —- Estève —- Pires

Vitinho —— Brownhill —— Cullen —— Koleosho

Amdouni

Foster

Bench : Hladky, JayRod, Humphreys, Massengo, Worrall, CJER, Houtindji, Weghorst, Benson

[IanMcL]

I would play Hlasky in goal but we won't because a first team keeper brings more money than a reserve keeper, in a sale.

I would also carry on playing O'Shea, as he is far from gone.

[BleedingClaret]

Out of Billyhamilton’s squad for Saturday I reckon by next weekend another 5 will have left.If Parker can get us promoted with that squad he deserves a knighthood.

Said the same to my mate
Team tomorrow 1 missing from the Cardiff starting 11 and you can fill the bench with quality and a couple of decent players still not included in the squad
Lose the players we’re rumoured to lose
The team vs Blackburn it's a challenge to pick and the bench if you exclude the injured players is hard to fill and that’s without picking up any further injuries or sending offs

We need Madge

Don’t wish to ruin your evening but he won’t be at the Stadium of Light tomorrow.

What have I missed in regards to Worrall not being available tomorrow?

[claretskeith]

What have I missed in regards to Worrall not being available tomorrow?

It's Longsideclaret who said he didn't expect he'd be available.

[Firthy]

It's Longsideclaret who said he didn't expect he'd be available.

He said O'Shea wouldn't be playing

[matttheclaret]

He said O'Shea wouldn't be playing

He also said he didn't expect Worrall to be involved

[claretskeith]

He said O'Shea wouldn't be playing

Aye

[blatherwickstattoos]

Same but for worral and Amdouni in for oshea and jay

[bobinho]

O shea plays surely?

And Hladky.

Think in a few weeks, after the window “slams shut”, we will be back to being able to accurately pick the team, barring the odd tactical change, opposition dependent.

[GrahamBranchsPerm]

There is no way he plays if he is about to sign for another club right?

think O shea might not be playing if we have agreed a fee with Ipswich only time will tell..

[BigGaz]

It'll be the same as last week except McNally in for O'Shea, or it should be.

We had a few scares but you would imagine they've learnt from and worked on the issues we all saw in the first half. Whatever you feel about Jay starting you can't really knock it after winning 5-0.

Edit: I've been told O'Shea hasn't even travelled.

I think it would be a mistake starting Jay in this game against a very young, energetic Sunderland midfield 3.

[burnmark]

Judging off his Instagram, it looks as if Sambo is in the squad.

[BigGaz]

Yeah fair one. Based on what we've seen from Amdouni so far I wouldn't count on him to help with their midfield so maybe Brownhill slightly ahead of Cullen and Massengo maybe?

[morninbob]

Judging off his Instagram, it looks as if Sambo is in the squad.

TBF we are down to the bare bones.

[Conroy92]

Judging off his Instagram, it looks as if Sambo is in the squad.

Wonder if someone who can play right back is missing.... If Vitiniho is not involved I'm going to be suspicious.

[warksclaret]

If OShea has not travelled then

Trafford
Roberts McNally Esteve Pires
Vitinho Cullen Brownhill Koleosho
Amdouini
Foster

Can see Worrall and Humphreys starting v Wolves next Wednesday

[summitclaret]

I agree that we need a midfield 3 of which none are strikers or wingers. However, if we want to keep Amdouni he has to start week on week. Imo that means right side of an attacking 3, but not as a winger. I'd use Vitineo as right side of a cm 3.

[burnmark]

I think it’ll be a case of him filling one of the subs spaces from those who have left.

Vintinho is in squad from the increasingly reliable Instagram!

We really aren't

When you count up all those unavailable we are.

[GrahamBranchsPerm]

Wills is that a prediction? Or inside info?

UTC

[bfcjg]

No matter who starts,they should be strong enough to get at least a point. As alluded to earlier it will becquite telling who starts.

Judging from vitinhos instagram he’s in the squad to

[Burnley1989]

Been at the training ground this morning and pretty sure ive seen both Weghorst and Cullen, so don't think either will be in the squad today

[Stonehouse]

Cullen?

[Anon]

Expect big changes today.

Cullen and Koleosho injured. Vitinho allegedly refusing to play, others forcing a move.

4 academy players have travelled, 2 will be in the match day squad.

That would be bad news. Especially Cullen of course but I like weggy as a bench option at least

[willsclarets]

Wills is that a prediction? Or inside info?

UTC

Oh just a prediction. I know absolutely nothing

[Burnley1989]

Cullen?

Pretty sure it was him unfortunately

[BurnleyFC]

God knows, just hope we win otherwise it’ll be pandemonium on here.

[BurnleyFC]

I don’t think Vitinho is the type to do that.

Yeah, Massara is in the squad

Why woul Vitinho put the post on instagram

[RVclaret]

Hountodji starting wide left I think.

[billyhamilton82]

All of a sudden, I feel like I will be happy with a draw today.

[billyhamilton82]

Hladky

Roberts —— McNally —- Estève —- Pires

Vitinho (Benson) —— Brownhill —— Massengo —— Houtindji

Foster

Jay Rod

I would play Foster at 10 and Jay Rod up top to hold the ball up.

Benson in for Vitinho if rumours are true

Bench : Anyones guess ....Trafford, Humphreys, Dodgson, CJER, Ageyi

[FCBurnley]

Lot of very negative vibes/rumours on here today. Hopefully Clarke is not playing for them. Not sure how we have gone from the strongest squad in the league to the bare bones ( According to some ) Can’t see us keeping a clean sheet if O Shea is missing
