What changes could Tony Mowbay make against Huddersfield Town?

Transcript

00:00 Yeah, there's a couple of changes I think he could make.

00:02 As you mentioned there in central midfield, as we've mentioned before,

00:05 Sonnen are quite light in that area with Neal and Ekwer kind of being the first choice.

00:09 But if one of them is unavailable or one of them can't play,

00:13 there is still a lack of depth there.

00:15 He could do, if he was very bold, do what he did in the second half against Plymouth on Saturday,

00:20 which was play with kind of Dan Neal as a number six and then ended up with kind of two number tens

00:26 with Oshish playing as one of them and Bellingham was like another number 10.

00:31 Obviously at that stage they were 2-0 down, so didn't have as much to lose.

00:34 Would he do that from the start?

00:36 Even if it's a home game against a Huddersfield side near the bottom of the table,

00:40 it would still be, I think, a bold move.

00:42 And there are a few options that could come into that kind of number 10 position.

00:45 Oshish is the one that I think has looked bright in recent weeks and is kind of pushing for that start.

00:51 Dak has come off the bench in that position as well.

00:54 Pritchard was an unused sub.

00:55 So in that kind of more advanced number 10 position, Mowbray does have a few more options.

01:01 Clarke and Roberts are obviously the first choice players kind of out wide.

01:06 And there's still big threats for Sunderland.

01:08 Clarke obviously is probably the first name on the team sheet at the minute, isn't he?

01:11 And then it's kind of that striker position.

01:15 Who does he go with?

01:17 Rootin, I thought, looked bright the Birmingham game before the international break,

01:21 but I thought on Saturday his struggle at Plymouth, and he was substituted at half time,

01:27 was just on the fringe of the game and wasn't really kind of linking up with his teammates.

01:31 As we said before, Clarke and Roberts were getting some balls in some good areas of the pitch out wide,

01:36 but didn't really have anyone to hit in the middle.
