Schumacher lead Bolton to a loss in his first game today after they had recorded back to back wins ( just to back you up on your experienced manager view ). Rob Edwards got sacked from Watford , then took Luton to the premier league , got them relegated , the. Slid down. The championship table , the. Got sacked again 🤣 My problem with Mr Grace is that he seems far too nice and far too gentle to me . If you read what a lot of Sunderland fans have said , he struggled because the squad still referred to Dodds as Doddsy and not gaffer . There was an over familiarity and he was too matey with them . This would have made respect difficult . One would assume he has learned from that and with a fresh set of faces this should not be an issue.

A full rotation would weaken it quite a bit.

Fortunately you aren't a manager.

And never will be.

why have we recalled Shala ? strange decision

I think James Berry is carrying an ongoing hamstring injury.

I'd guess he'll go to someone else a bit higher up the leagues

If Mike Dodds is coming in, you would suggest that would increase Nathan Bishop’s chances.

Many....but a team from Cornwall playing a team from Devon and the crowd singing 'You dirty Northern bastards' has stuck in the mind.

Some bookies have stopped taking bets so seems likely.

Good timing. FA Cup free hit at the weekend. Almost 2 weeks to settle in until the next game.

Absolutely. He played the ref all afternoon. Whenever he got into a tussle with Udoh he went down like Dan had hit him with a cudgel to buy himself and his team time to reset. Off the pitch, he is a genuinely nice man.
