This week, Sunderland’s manager gives his players a selection clue and clarifies his main point.

Newcastle manager Tony Mowbray is considering adjusting his attacking line for this coming Saturday.

 

Although Tony Mowbray believes his Sunderland club has a bright future, he acknowledges that as the wait for attacking reinforcements drags on, he may need to change his forward choices.

In pursuit of their first victory of the season, the Black Cats take on Rotherham United on Saturday, and the head coach claims his young team is in a positive frame of mind.

“They’re young lads and if anything I’m trying to accentuate the need for urgency to them, because we’ve had a lot of the ball in the first two games and I think they’ve felt comfortable,” he said.

We’ve had a lot of the ball in the first two games, and I think the young boys have felt at ease. If anything, I’m trying to emphasize the need for urgency to them.

We moved the ball about, we made opportunities, and yet we still managed to lose. We cannot become confident while controlling games but losing. So if anything, I’m the one trying to increase the intensity in the team and creating an urgency about finding a way to win.

 

“And that’s what we’ll be trying to do, my conundrum is who are going to be the forward players? Who is going to play at the top end of the pitch, are we going to change the formation to get enough players at the top end of the pitch in a game where we feel we’ll have a lot of possession. Or do we just keep doing what we’re doing, and hope the luck changes?
