Just got in the ground, I have never seen so many kids at a game.

Was there some sort of deal on?

No foolproof formula though.

Sunderland fielded a stong team and lost today to league 1 strugglers. Sometimes fielding a strong side the players are a bit too complacent, not deliberately but they aren't quite at it. Sunderland had their cup final earlier this week and then failed to raise themselves today whereas maybe some other players coming in, with a point to prove, may have given more.

Think our attitude is key. Likely we will dominate possession but we need to not be drawn into too much 'ploddyball' and try to be a bit quicker to attack them - hopefully with Gnonto and James being in the line-up it gives us more ability to get past players on the wing and unsettle the opposition defence - also if we do get a cross in we have two strikers to be attacking the ball and also if James puts the cross in then Gnonto can be looking to get on the end of the cross and vice versa.

Bornauw, Amps, Bijol, Guds
. . . Tanaka . . . . Longstaff . .

James. . . Gnonto. . . . . .Nmecha
. . . . . . . . . .Piroe . . . . . . . . .

Otherwise I haven't a clue.
Looks a hot mess tbh..

Piroe/Nmecha as a 2 up front, maybe Gnonto James as wingers, Amps and Longstaff as the defensive pivot.

Amps has finished the last 2 games at right back so maybe he's playing there?
