Should Aji Alese start for #SAFC against #LUFC ?

Matty Hewitt and Joe Ramage share their views

'He hasn't played a lot of football but he's signed a new deal until 2027 - it's vitally important that he gets game time'

✍️ Can Mike Dodds use #safc ’s win against Leeds United in December as a blueprint for a repeat tonight?

FT. #safc 0-0 Bristol City

Much better than Monday. A clean sheet and everything bar a finish, hitting the woodwork twice and with the City keeper making some excellent stops.
Two tough away games against Leeds and West Brom now though…

Not long now… Everyone pulling together to welcome our fans from around the world Nick Barnes James Hunter Diego's Joint Fans Museum Phil Smith

Mike Dodds picking his words carefully in public. Says he ‘left them [the players] under no illusions’ about his thoughts. Says he ‘could have subbed the whole team off’. #safc

FT. #safc 1-5 Blackburn Rovers

That was shameful. An embarrassment. Made struggling Rovers look like world-beaters.

A performance straight out of the 2017-18 Championship relegation season

Applause in the 66th minute in tribute to #safc supporter and fanzine editor Tom Lynn, who died suddenly last week.
Tom also sang on the ‘Cheer Up Peter Reid’ record, which was played at HT at the SoL.

How #safc needed that!
Cardiff weren’t up to much and the penalty was extremely soft, by all accounts, but let’s not be too picky!
A very welcome win ahead of Monday’s game against Blackburn at the SoL…

✍️ After following a top six finish with midtable meh, #safc fans are left to wonder if last season was a one-off - or whether it is this season that is the outlier.
Plus my thoughts on the Black Cats Bar investigation.

🗣️'The simple fact is Jack and myself wanted to sign an additional contract last summer. This was in his contract but unfortunately the club has a structure and didn't want to break it. We did want to engage and sign a new deal.'

Ian Harte on Jack Clarke's future at #SAFC .

✍️ ‘Significant’ investment in the SoL is welcome but it must be accompanied by significant investment in the squad. And there’s one critical decision the #safc board has to get right this summer.
