We've had absolutely nothing from this ref. Blatant foul (and a red card) for a penalty on Brereton not given... then books Travis for less than Barnes did? Give over.

Buckley is on the bench after months of being out in the cold, so you could be right.

It's where he started midweek.

You could play 4-3-3 with Mola at LB, but I don't think we've lined up like that all season. Would be strange to do so now.

Looks like he's going to play Brittain and Hedges as inverted WBs again. Mola in for S. Wharton at CB after performing well against West Ham in midweek.

3 at the back it is. Did A. Wharton pick up an injury in midweek? Also clearly JDT has no time for sentimentality as he's benched S. Wharton for Mola - ruthless.

You're watching the T20 World Cup Final too?

I'd genuinely start Kaminski over Raya. But then I'm the kind of person that hates a GK who has a howler in him.

It's a 32k seater stadium that regularly sees attendances of 13-14k. You're not going to struggle to get a ticket for the home fixture.

£10m according to who? Personally I'd take £10m if we receive it on 1 January and are allowed to re-invest it all into the squad. Obviously neither of those things are going to happen.

That's clearly not based on ability.

That #10 for Birmingham is an absolute menace. If I was their manager I'd be doing everything to get him 90 minutes fit. No CB in the Championship can handle him.

Is he not in jail yet?

Hopefully the complete opposite. A nice win for Sunderland to keep the wolves from Tony's door, please. As long as he's in charge they're irrelevant in the division.

He wouldn't play anyway, so I'm delighted we won't have to see Pears in a League fixture.

He really needs a song at this point - and not just "JDT's blue and white army".

I've read that Phillips has a niggle, so I imagine he was there in case of emergency. Batty isn't a CB.

At the end of the day it's another game. Win, lose or draw it won't define our season. JDT rolled the dice putting Szmodics (albeit we know Dack can't play 90) and Brereton on. It hasn't worked, but I appreciate him reading that the game was there to be won and going for it.

They're speculating on RoversTV that Mola is injured / knackered.

Obviously sees that the game is there for the taking, so why not roll the dice for 30 mins?

I'd more than happily take that.

On that goal he was very lackadaisical, which is exactly what JDT has been trying to drill out of him. The talent is there, but the application isn't at the moment.

Check your PMs.

4-2-3-1 with Mola and Carter at CB (JRC at RB)?

Blackpool were missing 14 first team players yesterday (apparently). Even Sheffield United have complained about injuries on commentary last night. The fixture list is insane.
