I think there’s argument to be made for moving Lascelles on because he absolutely can NOT be captain.

All I do each night is pray.

Totally depends on the set up. For instance, if I was rigging the ground I’d have about 3 or 4 different stereo pairs pointed at the strawberry corner just for starters.

Ooof, in my feels.

Listen to a band live, sounds great. Record it with the wrong setup and don’t mix it properly, sounds like shit. Exactly the same principle.

I don’t know a lot about broadcast but it’s more likely what they don’t do with the sound. They could capture it properly if they wanted to.

A couple of them are breaking cover.

All I ask from this is that we put in a good performance and we're in with a chance with 60 mins to go. No stupid mistakes.

2. If I get a season ticket I’ll be at 1.

I am the crutch.

Agreed

Yeah I’m just being daft TBH mate.

Down to a 4 from 5.5. Would be lower if KT wasn’t out for the season. Only reason it’s so high is I fear more injuries and our fixture list gets touch again from March.

Fucking nightmare. Only we could come out of a massive win less likely to stay up than when the game started.

Oh, sorry, I see what you meant not. Bournemouth's Keegan...

We shit-housed our way to victory in the second half and I loved it.

Not helping yourself with this like

Notable, IMO. Shelvey was captain when Lascelles was missing previously. I think that means he’s losing his place to Bruno.

I think you can if you’re not fixated on the relative differences between the two, but they are.

Just throwing this out there but could it have anything to do with the development in Newcastle and the lack of it in Sunderland? A lot of their jealousy is down to that just as much as football.

It's fair enough because we're not very good. That's why I think today will be a big indication of how far the team have come so far under Howe. A good performance, regardless of result, and it looks promising. If we look rubbish for long spells though I'll be #worried.

I think both teams were below par when they played us and neither of them had a striker.

Agree with the sentiment. However, I’d just say that while Villa aren’t amazing, they are undoubtedly better then the Everton we played on Tuesday and the Leeds we beat 0-1. This is a good test of where we actually are right now IMO. Have we really improved enough to beat solid teams like Villa, or are we 17th for a reason that goes beyond Bruce? We’ll find out. Team selection is key here. One more time for luck, I think Shelvey and Lascelles, if played, will get the run around and we’ll see at least one of them replaced for West Ham.
