Today’s team

Bit surprised Butler isn't captain but no massive shocks there.

Good to see Sims back.

[steve@dcfd]

Gomes the loose cannon who passing is not good enough not disciplined enough for that position.
Sooner had James there and Okenabirhe on left. Any way let’s see DM a shot it right.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Gomes had a great game there last season and I hope he gets back up to speed pronto.

Just looking for an improvement from Tuesday night. Anything after that is a bonus.

[drfchound]

Gomes was also outstanding a the start of the season before he was injured.

[NickDRFC]

The changes are probably about right - Bostock was miles off the pace, Robertson didn’t do much, Fej probably due a rest and after his goal Lokilo didn’t do a lot. I’d probably have kept Lokilo in on the left and had James in midfield rather than Gomes after his stinker on Tuesday but a chance of redemption for him.

I hope Bogle’s not been rushed in like Bostock was, though, and is actually fit to start.

Do you mean for Gomes or the team? Either way, an improvement from Tuesday is a very low bar, I’m hoping for much better personally.

Tbf i thought gomes looked brilliant when he came on last Saturday, maybe turn a blind eye to tuesdays shambles
Think we should have started this midfield tuesday night

[Al4475]

What a great shout to give Wright the armband. To me that's like DM saying.

"You are wanted and needed sunshine  - the contract is coming- you are our future."

Colonel on the commentary with Robbie

[PDX_Rover]

Or Corporal, even.

[Pancho Regan]

I don’t know whether it’s to give him a rest but I think Fey can feel a bit disappointed at being dropped to the bench.

Was going to say - that was a quick promotion....

That’s a quick demotion

No - he said Colonel first......

[NickDRFC]

I think this every time we play against him but Max Power is a great name.

[drfchound]

Good start by us.

[NickDRFC]

Bright start so far including an early shot from Taylor but still some sloppiness - a short corner wasted and Joe Wright just passed very poorly straight into touch.

[Metalmicky]

1:0

[Barmby Rover]

Damn it!!!

[ScillyRover]

Poor defending from the corner

[NickDRFC]

Sunderland actually put a corner into the box and score from it. Disappointing.

[CJK]

All came from a soft free kick awarded against Butler, it was never a free kick

[swain_drfc]

God how we will miss Anderson

[drfchound]

Good start by us.

I think I tempted fate there.

[dknward2]

And the poor run vs Sunderland continues unfortunately can’t see us getting anything from today

[Barmby Rover]

game over after 8 minutes!!!

[jmt23]

Definite foul by butler, he was holding both arms. Poor defending, and the keeper was distracted by the man I front of him.

[POD]

2-0 down now

[ScillyRover]

Halliday ... absolutely terrible. Beat all ends up every time in first ten minutes.
