Mike Dodds promises ‘interesting’ Sunderland team selection to cover Jack Clarke absence
Mike Dodds says Sunderland will make ‘tweaks’ tactically to cover for the Jack Clarke injury as he promised an ‘interesting team selection’ for the Swansea game.
Clarke, Sunderland’s top scorer this season with 15 goals but he will be missing against the Swans due to an ankle problem.
That is obviously a blow for Sunderland, but Mike Dodds says it does not necessarily need to be something everyone feels doom and gloom about.
In fact, Dodds is ‘excited’ about the tactical options it opens up to him.
“Jack Clarke is one of the best wingers in the league,” he said. “If you take Jack Clarke out of any of the teams in the league and he’s a miss.
“On the flipside I’m also a little bit excited around tweaking and changing one or two things. I’m excited around what things can we move around within the group?
