If we had a team which came very close to winning a trophy and promotion why do we need to make too many changes? Yes we can get the wage bill down a little but I believe that with a small tweak here and there we can storm this league.
Midfield is okish, Goalkeeping is adequate, defence needs to become watertight while up front we need to score more than one goal a game which is all we done last season.
I am certain that Jack Ross will come to the same conclusion and will be working on it.
So I hope the team I see start against Oxford is a tweaked up version of last seasons "typical team".

You will only see the odd change and it will not be drastic. Business as you were almost.

Re: Why make too many changes?
^ this. I really can't see too many changes apart from the obvious ones. Jack Ross will probably stay with the current strikers unless they are sold on. A little change at the back too.Sandy Mackem wrote: ↑25 Jul 2019, 15:12 You will only see the odd change and it will not be drastic. Business as you were almost.

Re: Why make too many changes?
I suspect you are right. The new lads will get one chance to push for a regular place so I hope they take the bull by the horns. I am sure they understand that if they want to play in a higher league they will have no better chance to do this than at Sunderland.Sandy Mackem wrote: ↑25 Jul 2019, 15:12 You will only see the odd change and it will not be drastic.

Re: Why make too many changes?
With the likes of Cattermole leaving there will be changes obviously but Jack Ross will not risk things too much early on.

Re: Why make too many changes?
The way the friendlies went it looks as though he is trying to change the whole dynamics of it all..formation, the lot. I think the players he's brought in are here to start... I think one or two are still to move on... We'll see.

Re: Why make too many changes?
In know you can only work with what you have but he should have tried a few things last season. Jack Ross did have a few options but continued with the 1-1 mentality

Re: Why make too many changes?
I would think that after the last few friendly games Jack Ross has a decent idea of a good starting eleven.
What was that you said again?

You would like to think so... Do you think he does?thingamajig wrote: ↑29 Jul 2019, 17:16 I would think that after the last few friendly games Jack Ross has a decent idea of a good starting eleven.
