January 6, 20215 yr Is Declan John a wing back? I’d kind of hoped we were going to abandon this idea for wingers

January 6, 20215 yr https://www.sunderlandecho.com/sport/football/sunderland-afc/exciting-declan-john-insight-sunderland-fans-will-love-after-welsh-international-agrees-loan-deal-1379679 Didnt realise he has such a longish career behind him, 42 games for Cardiff. None for Parky at Sunderland?? Says he can play wingback, don't know if that's good news or not. Of course, ex Chesterfield explains the move.

January 7, 20215 yr Played a reasonable number of premier league games so must have something about him. Hope he does well then signs for nowt in summer if he does work out

He's obviously pointed out to Evatt that he's a wanker. Exactly - IE drops players for one mistake but let’s some play even though we are losing points because of them. Taft has definitely told him he is a tosser
January 7, 20215 yr Before the season started I thought he would be our captain but what do I know. Question is whos coming in on loan and as White and Crellin done 1 yet .
January 7, 20215 yr I’m surprised he’s not been given more of a chance but some fans will never cease to amaze me. I’ve seen two separate Tweets asking why we’ve let our best centre half go.
January 7, 20215 yr 8 minutes ago, Big E said: Taft seems to be getting better and better with every game he doesn't play Seems we’ve let the modern day Cannavaro slip through our fingers purely based on the speculation that he told the gaffer he’s a wanker. Not because he might be a bit pony. EVATT OUT
January 7, 20215 yr Inside track was that he didn’t do enough in training to force his way in. In fact was going backwards and really showing very little reason to justify being picked. This will give him the opportunity to prove himself, he’s under contract for next season too.
January 7, 20215 yr Take Baptiste out of the equation (not that he hasn’t got a fuck up or two in his repertoire) and the remaining defenders are all much of a muchness, so I’d have thought Taft has gone purely because he’s the first one we’ve had an offer for.
January 7, 20215 yr Author Declan John coming in means we can play Nathan Jones (hes been gone to long) in his proper positon, does this mean Kioso going back?

Agreed, playing Jones on the right, is like a double benefit at full back. Kioso could play further forwards if he stays, he wasn’t great defensively anyway.

Seems to stack up what IE said about players not showing up in training

January 7, 20215 yr Very good friend of mine is a Cambridge lad season ticket holder and knows his football, told me when we signed Taft that in his opinion it would fail as in my mates words hes flatters to deceive and Cambridge wouldn't be weakened by his loss. Good enough for me.
January 7, 20215 yr I also think that when Taft signed, Harry Brockbank was considered by IE as surplus to requirements. Harry has forced his way in and is on the verge of being a regular.
