Get the thread in early after a good transfer window, will Mason Holgate start the game and will Taylor Harwood - Bellis play any part.
We now know the squad for the next 4 months and it looks strong, good striking options, strong centre of the midfield, good options on the flanks and more importantly a strong centre of defence.
In goal if people can get past last season and a couple of mistakes in pre season, then they might just notice we have a decent keeper in the making .
Big question now is Sulemana, he could really make us a massive threat |  |

2 good signings on deadline day.
WE MARCH ON TOGETHER |  |

It was the questions we had wrong. |

Line-up should almost pick itself....
Bazunu
KWP, Bednarek, Holgate, Manning
Downes, Charles
Alcaraz
A.Armstrong, Edozie or Fraser
Adams.
But RM's big problem will be whether to start Adams there up front rather than S. Armstrong further back... tactical formation decision but a good one to have .
to make.
Not sure Sulemana is going to be in the reckoning yet. I'd be surprised to even see him on the bench [Post edited 2 Sep 2023 7:38]

Mara starts.
Am I missing something with him?
Are we that good we have to start with ten men?

Baz
KWP
Bed
Holgate
Manning
Downers
Smallbone
S Arm
Edozie
Mara !!!
A Arm
McCarthy, Harwood-Bellis. Bree. Charles, Aribo, Fraser. Alcaraz, Amo-Ameyaw, Adams
Strange that Mara starts after his loan move collapsed.
McCarthy has recovered and is 2nd choice then !! |  |

Yes not sure about Mara but on the positive side the bench looks really strong. |  |

Other than Mara, I am really positive about today with this line up. I have just not seen anything from Mara to suggest he can even operate effectively at Championship level.
Sunderland have had more disruption than us this week with regulars leaving.
Shout to all those who travelled up today. | | | |

Adams is apparently refusing to sign a new deal and can leave for free at the end of the season. That's part of why Armstrong has been given the captaincy. Mara came on and did well against QPR, so let's see how it goes. | |

Mara starting in fact is quite laughable after his Performances, over Fraser or Alcaraz or Che, and to wear them out He would have to finally run a bit, but Yeah... We will for sure be better in the second half and from next | | | |

I was in the camp hoping Adams would stay. There didn't appear to be much interest from any of the middle/top teams, so he might as well stay here and see what happens.
If he doesn't sign a new contract and leaves at the end of the season, then I just hope he applies himself well and doesn't start sulking. I am confident he will stay and do well.
If we go up and lose out on a transfer fee, so be it. It will have been worth it. [Post edited 2 Sep 2023 12:15]

He must be running out of chances soon ?
Doing it on the training ground is one thing, doing at week in week out for the first 11 is another. I am still not convinced about Mara, but obviously hope he can start putting in some good performances. | | | |

Unfortunately can’t watch the game but just had a notification through that we’re already 1-0 down! Just wonder what’s more likely, us keeping a clean sheet, or is going up!? 😂🤦🏻♂️ |  |

Ridiculous that no one was on the halfway line. As for the 2nd close him down ffs. I thought a better keeper might have saved them | |

It’s been a while since we’ve had a 9-0… | |

It's the Job of the CD to Deal with Such balls in, and für sure Not that of a winger. So Bednarek once again.
There's an arhie for the second that Mara could or should have closed him, but armstrong could have too... | | | |

History tells us Martin can’t organize a defence. Should be 3-0. Still we own sideways passing with 70% possession | |

Get in , last 10mins we managed 90% possession. Didn’t manage a shot on target mind | |

We are so predictable and there is no movement or penetration
Sunderland are so much more direct
Basunu has been awful and someone tell me why Mara is starting |  | | |

Does Baz in goal get an assist bonus every time he palms a shot towards the on rushing forward.
Stuart Armstrong and KWP putting the effort in. Everyone else is strollling about | |
