I'll not be on board with this move but I can see it happening. We need better options than Dolan, Vale and Hirst off the bench, so a striker in Jan is a must.

Mowbray was trending on twitter last night. Obviously, a lot of fans were kicking off about him. I think a lot have sussed him out already.

Definitely a game of opinions 🤣

Tony Mowbray with the most Tony Mowbrayish of records at Sunderland right now.

Christ.

Some pace in this team would be nice.

Once, I think? Bristol were 2 up and I think we pulled one back, conceded straight away though, obviously.

People are kidding themselves if they don't believe Dack could operate in Szmodics role tonight, better than Szmodics has done so far.

Not sure how he's earned himself a new deal here. He must be showing something that JDT thinks he can mould into a championship player. He's shown nothing at this level in games so far. He has no attributes of note either.

Or Vale starting ahead of him

Big game needed from Vale. Surely we have a better fullback coming through the ranks, rather than Trav?

Vale starts, Gallagher out with injury, Ayala and Brittain back. Pickering only on the bench. Either trav or Brittain must be playing left back!

Newcastle might be a nice city and a good night out but that doesn't mean they deserve success above anyone else. They've always believed they are this massive club because "wE GeT 52,000 pAsSiOnIaTe GeOrDiEs iN tHe StAdIuM eVeRyWeEk 🤪" despite winning absolutely fuck all. It's obviously a personal vendetta of mine but couldn't have happened to a worse club (I hold the Dingles in equal disregard, so yeah, financial ruin for both would be great)

Very depressing. I hate Newcastle, their fans have always been incredibly self entitled. Some (and it will be a small amount) fans are planning a protest against the owners for using Newcastle for "sportwashing" but 99% won't care because they are 3rd and spending £150m+ on players. Of course when Ashley wasn't running the club "correctly" they were out in force to protest.

Crafty ball by Wharton for that goal. Really good. Well taken finish by Szmodics also 👏

Gotta assume 4-3-3 yeah. -----------------Kaminski Trav-----Hyam------Wharton---Pickering ------Sammy-----Morton-----Wharton ----Dolan------Gallagher-------BBD Or 4-2-3-1? Fuck knows

Definitely agree on Hedges. Big miss, he's been great this season. Not sure on Szmodics, works really hard but at RWB he will have to defend. I suppose with neither Hedges or Brittain being available the trade off is either more defensive in Carter or more attacking in Szmodics. JDT does often make some baffling decisions on starting places, so it wouldn't surprise me to Dolan or someone in there!

I reckon we'll go: He might put Szmodics in for Super Adam Wharton but I prefer AW, so putting him in ahead.

Risky appointment when you're sat 21st. Carrick has been in the running for most managerial vacancies, including ours. Be interesting to see how he gets on.

Dack is a player of quality. I understand that JDT wants a team that covers loads of ground but a team full of runners will only get you so far. Vale, Dolan and Szmodics can run around all day but none of them have that bit of magic, that bit of quality that can make the difference that Dack has. As others have pointed out, BBD will likely be off for a low fee in January, this leaves us desperately short of goals. Dack is the next player in the squad you could rely upon for goals, assists or that spark to make something happen. His Injuries are obviously going to impact on his game but he said to our former manager just the other day that his fitness numbers are the best they've ever been. Letting Dack go, will be a huge mistake imo.

This sums up my thoughts perfectly. Just to add more fuel to the fire, Vale has somehow earned a new contract till 2025. If we are putting him ahead of Dack in the pecking order. We've got problems.

Delighted with the win and Adam W getting his first goal. Joint top, I doubt even JDT believed we'd be sat in this position heading into November.

Hedges is a different gravy this season. Even when he makes a mistake he makes up for it.

BBD still putting a hell of a shift in but looks like he needs to come off.

Yep, he's running but he's always 15 yards behind the player with the ball.
