Gibbs White is awful atm Hutchinson did a good job in a poor Ipswich side playing as a 10 surely it's worth a try if he's fit enough to play 90 minutes

Gibbs White would struggle to play 10 for the Pig and Whistle the way he's playing.

08 Nov 2025 11:47:42
Morning Munram. As it got to ya at last 🤣.

08 Nov 2025 12:48:20
No sheepy.

08 Nov 2025 13:13:34
Balloons it’s clear MGW is having some kind of breakdown and most definitely lamenting staying. Our owner has done a lot of damage lately. Stepping on pitch and confronting Nuno ( the pundits were all correct about this despite the clubs protestations ) cutting communication with Nuno and not working with him to strengthen the team, he’s rebelled against marinakis and won - yes the coach in this case was bigger than the club. Bullying Gibby into staying has ruined the player, he’s a shadow of his former self now - that’s the fault of maranakis. A dougty toys out the pram moment will surely arrive when we get relegated.

Ib.

08 Nov 2025 14:41:26
Is this just a myth that MGW has to be picked if fit?, if true that would cause friction in the squad for sure.

08 Nov 2025 14:56:31
A 120 grand a week breakdown ahh bless. Get him a cardboard box so he can kip next to the military veterans.
Never mind lads look on the bright side. 3 points tomorrow and we'll be in the relegation zone.

07 Nov 2025 22:31:13
Calm down. Europa league is Byram run out to try and get players match fit
Wait for qualifying 16 and try and blag it if league form improves. Simples!

08 Nov 2025 06:55:25
Mcgovern when we lose on Sunday fans might just realise we're very much in trouble. there's no team work out there. not like last season it looks like every player is clueless what to do and how to play and I would imagine a few have there heads on the transfer window ready to leave a sinking ship.

08 Nov 2025 07:28:05
. And when we win Skeggs, the fans might just realise that we're not such a bad team after all!
FTID.

08 Nov 2025 08:26:41
Come on Skeg show some faith!
If we lose you mean?
This is a must win game and I'm sure Dyche has told the team what's needed.

08 Nov 2025 08:38:55
Leeds look a really poor side, I'm expecting a win, we should of won comfortably with a weakened side on Thursday so with players back on Sunday be OK
Just play how we did second half against man utd and 3 points, simples skeggs 😁🍻🍻.

08 Nov 2025 09:30:14
🤣🤣🤣 dtp tell that to the players edu out.

08 Nov 2025 10:20:37
So much cognitive dissonance here.

We were playing badly under Nuno and not scoring enough goals or creating enough since April 1st last year. Who was to blame? Edu (? ) before he was even in the job?

Ange took over. We created 61 chances and scored one goal so hwe were creating but not scoring. The problem is we were conceding more as well. Whose fault was that? Edu (? ) when we still had the entire defence and midfield from last season plus Douglas Luiz and Savona. We also had more firepower (Jesus et al)

A lot of fans just blamed Ange which defensively was part of the problem no doubt but if we'd taken chances we'd have won quite a lot of those games.

Dyche comes in and the club do a PR thing and lots of fans love the 30% win rate boring Dych-Ball. We carry on underperforming and STILL can't defend set-pieces or score goals. Whose fault is it? Edu (? ) , because he's to blame if the coaches don't know how to set up against set pieces? Is it Edu's fault MGW gives the ball away leading to a loss TWICE, can't shoot and misses a penalty?

It's obvious there is a problem and it can't possibly be just Edu to blame for problems we already had before he was in post or has no control over. I'd agree Edu might be to blame for a lack of cover at FB.

But why couldn't Nuno, Ange or Dych get a tune out of McAtee who has done well in Europe and the Prem before? Why have none of them got MGW looking any better than below average. Why can't we defend set-pieces even under a set-piece specialist in Dyche?

Dyche comes in and after it was all Ange's fault, now none of it is the fault of the coach? Sounds like an agenda to me.

So what is the real problem, then? Are the coaches FORCED to play MGW when he's not in form? Is Wood FORCED to travel to the other side of the world and get injured in a New Zealand friendly or come back with jet-lag? Are the coaches to blame when the team create 61 chances and only score one goal? When did CHO last score or look like doing so more than once every 5 games? Can Anderson shoot? Is Douglas Luiz ever fit?

Just blaming Edu is simplistic nonsense. He may share some of the blame for a lack of FB cover and for signing a crock if Douglas Luiz doesn't get fit. But the coaches and players (ALL OF THEM APART FROM NECO WILLIAMS) are largely to blame.

On the money they are earning, if they can't put the ball in the net or clear a set-piece, the lot of them should be fired. If the coaches don't know how to set-up or bring out the skills they have, then they have failed. All of them.

I also think too many of our players are average at passing. The best passers are Murillo, Luiz (who is never fit), Aina (injured), Sangare, MGW (first half of last season anyway). The passing percentages were better under Ange. Can we capture than but defend better under Dyche?

We should have appointed Brendan Rogers or somebody else with a history of getting teams to control games with good passing and teams that create and score goals. We keep appointing defensive coaches and aren't solving the crisis of not putting the ball in the net or defending set-pieces.

We do have the players, but they are not doing their jobs well enough. It's partly down to coaching, but only the players step out there. Neco Williams, Jesus and Ryan Yates look up for it. If the rest were as committed we'd be fine.

08 Nov 2025 10:45:43
You and carlo make a good couple skeggs
Edu, Edu it's all his fault 🥵🥵🥵🥵.

08 Nov 2025 10:53:38
I totally agree Red Cyclist, way, way, too much "Congestion Disco Dancing " on here mate!
🤭🤭🤭🕺🕺🕺.

08 Nov 2025 11:03:12
We tried sign douglas luiz in January before Edu started, like I keep saying Edu is not head of recruitment, just suits the ones wanting to play the blame game.

08 Nov 2025 11:04:13
Cyclist did we not have a defensive coach last season who got tge best out of a striker with 20 goals 🤣🤣 and edu out simples.

08 Nov 2025 11:15:11
Cyclist “Boring Dyche ball”? Did you see the Porto and Man Utd games? Both cracking games surely?

08 Nov 2025 11:15:57
Very impressive post Cyclist!. Well written and researched if I may say so. A compelling arguement but like Scott Fitzgerald, it outlines opposing sometimes contradictory views and I am sure it causes us all some angst (not 'ange-st'). Do you think Sean has read 'The Great Gatsby'. Anyway, Hutchinson for me! Maybe not!

08 Nov 2025 11:52:33
Hey Cyclist what's with the Stokey post. You'll be hearing from his legal team shortly 🤣🤣.

08 Nov 2025 14:16:06
I agree cyclist but i did nod off half way through that🤣🌳.

08 Nov 2025 14:49:42
Good post Cyclist 👍.

07 Nov 2025 18:47:55
My team and formation to beat Dirty Leeds on Sunday

Sels

Savona
Milenkovic
Murrilo
Williams

Yates
Anderson
Dominguez

Hudson Odoi
Jesus/ Wood
Hutchinson

Subs Victor Abbott Morato Jair Sangare Ndoye Gibbs White Awoniyi Sinclair.

07 Nov 2025 19:24:41
Won't hapoen munmad MGW will be first name on team sheet, dyche won't drop him
Personally I'd play MGW as a right winger and stiffen up midfield, he'd get space out there.

07 Nov 2025 19:42:37
Not sure if cho is fit, I'd go ndoye n Hutchinson wide mgw as a 10 behind Jesus wood or T depending who fit, Yates n and ando cm.

Oh and murillo LB obviously 😜.

07 Nov 2025 22:44:38
Best team for Leeds IMO


Sels
Savona Milenkovic Murrilo Williams
Sangare Anderson Yates
MGW Jesus CHO


But think he will persist with MGW as a 10.

07 Nov 2025 15:41:42
Must win on Sunday, already cut off in the bottom three and it could get much much worse. Don’t want it getting to having to win two or three back to back just to get to parity.

07 Nov 2025 17:13:43
If he leaves Herr Flick in the stand, we might get a result against Dirty Leeds. MGW (Herr Flick) needs to realise he gets paid to play football, not to poss around with the ball. He only got picked for England on last seasons games, this season he really has been poor.

He has the talent, just not the heart at this moment in time! Sit him down in front of a TV, show him how Sunderland players give 110%.

07 Nov 2025 17:33:07
It’s a strange one. It’s not a six pointer at this early stage of the season but it could be by the end? 🤔.

07 Nov 2025 19:04:30
He had a really good game against Man U to be fair, the whole team has been misfiring so find it hard to single out individuals, hopefully Dyche can have us set up well for it.

07 Nov 2025 19:17:20
He scored gingerkid, I wouldn't say he played well especially first half
I just think he needs benching atm
Points are what's needed and he'll be on a downer after missing that pen and getting dropped by england
It's up to him niw if he wants yo go to the world Cup he has to perform consistently and start scoring and assisting, that's his only chance of getting into that squad.

07 Nov 2025 19:44:23
Well stokey words of wisdom without the need for a quote from some general or other, mind you that's what it says on news now 😁🤣🤣🤣.

08 Nov 2025 10:29:30
🎣🎣🎣.

08 Nov 2025 11:21:56
Well, DTP, much of what I predict later appears on the news as perspicacious mate! As Confucius says “Glasshopper, man with hole in trouser pocket feel cocky all day “ 😂😂😂.

07 Nov 2025 10:11:59
Gibbs White has only himself to blame for losing his England squad place.

Since he signed his new contract he has been quite simply a shadow of himself and has been totally overshadowed by Anderson this season

Against an awful Graz side his contribution including missing a penalty was non existent if Luis was fit I would say stop him from the side or give him a Neco Williams enthusiasm injection Williams would run through a brick wall for the shirt Gibbs White would bounce off a sheet of plywood! 😡.

07 Nov 2025 11:18:18
Is Luiz ever fit?

07 Nov 2025 11:20:23
I thought Anderson was injured. That was a quick recovery.

07 Nov 2025 13:34:47
He’s not been injured Larry. Just rested mate.

07 Nov 2025 15:35:59
This conversation might have taken place this morning:
TT: "Look, Mauds, it is nothing to do with your form, it is simply down to us only needing you to come on if the game is done and you see out injury time without any injuries to the main players. I thought I would give someone else a go in that role! ".

MGW: Nonsense, Teets, this is to do with my nickname, Herr Flick isn't it? You think we're taking the mickey 'cos your German! And-don't call me Mauds. its Morgs! The Flick thing comes from me show boating with brilliant flicks and keepy ups. its great to watch, honestly. TT?. Teets?., I'll text mate!.

07 Nov 2025 16:53:01
It was said on the radio MGW was taken of to save him for the Leeds game, he had been c##p against Graz so why save him to play c##p against Leeds!, makes no sense 🤷.

07 Nov 2025 18:24:10
Can't disagree with anything that's been said, MGW should be told to stay at home on Sunday and watch the game on TV. Unfortunately I can't see anyone wanting him in January. Personally I'd farm him out on loan to some Eastern country.

07 Nov 2025 19:19:57
We should of kept elanga and sold MGW, the side would be more balanced.

07 Nov 2025 05:00:07
Dtp you say Murrillo and Milencovic are not as dominant this season and that's spot on. But they never were. Under nuno, who played very narrow and 2 banks of 4 behind the ball so they were surrounded by midfielders. Posta and Dyche play much wider and that has exposed them.

Murrillo's drop some right howlers this season and watching Milencovic playing for Serbia who play similar. He gets caught out too.
To much hype with both of em. Good players but nothing special.

07 Nov 2025 07:02:50
I hope if anyone goes in this transfer window it's gibbs shite he's totally not playing for the shirt anymore never really rated him in the first place mind you think we will be lucky to get 30 million for him now with is shite flicks.

07 Nov 2025 07:20:08
How are things in Derby today Larry the Ram.

07 Nov 2025 09:28:03
Sels and MGW have dropped more howlers so far this season balloons, coaches soon work out the oppositions weakness
They know sels will stay on his line at set pieces and won't try and catch a ball so they play on it by crowding him, they know MGW will try and dribble so they are on him in his own half, hence the goals he's cost against Newcastle and Palace
They know we like to counter with wingers so they cut that supply leaving an isolated striker feeding off scraps
Only Anderson and luiz when fit drive at th opposition and try to make things happen
Sangare is neat and tidy and Yates gives 100% but they foul too much and struggle for pace and can't play a forward ball
All the wingers seem to stand waiting for the ball instead of making a run and when the ball cones to them they pass it backwards
Lits of things wrong balloons and that's not just diwn to recruitment
Anyway we have to beat leeds and with, Anderson, jesus, Awoniyi, Hutchinson and possibly CHO and wood then we should get that win
Gives us a chance over the break to get some players fit then and dyche to work with the players not on international duty.

07 Nov 2025 10:23:34
Didn't see the match, just had the text! Did I read that Sean used late subs to shut down for a point? Or was it tactical?

07 Nov 2025 10:42:22
Rose tinted glasses again munmad. What a horror show that was last night.

07 Nov 2025 10:52:22
Did Murrillo not save us from defeat last Saturday Big Larry?
Him and Milenkovich will come good again, of that I have no doubt.

07 Nov 2025 11:24:21
Nice one munmad Larry the lamb 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

07 Nov 2025 13:48:13
Norfolk, he brought on Abbott and Murillo for MGW and Kalimuendo I think. Dyche didn’t so much as go for a point and shut up shop, more like he had no choice unless he brought on an Academy lad. No obvious replacement for Kilimeuendo as Wood injured, Jesus suspended and I think Taiwo is not in the Europa squad and didn't travel.
