Sunderland fans buzzing at what Le Bris has done v Oxford – ‘Now we’re talking’
Sunderland supporters are impressed by the starting lineup that Regis Le Bris has named for the penultimate game of the season against Oxford United.
There is no pressure on the Mackems heading into this match as Sunderland already have their position in the Championship playoffs secured for the end of the season.
However, after a difficult run of form that has seen Le Bris’ side fail to win any of their previous four games, there is a desire among supporters to see their team get back to winning ways.
Sunderland need to try and build as much momentum as possible heading into the playoffs, as that often has a significant impact on who ends up being promoted at the end of the season.
Sunderland name a strong team against Oxford United
Le Bris has opted to name a very strong starting lineup for this game, and that’s a sign of the manager’s desire to get three points picked up in this fixture against Oxford United.
Enzo Le Fee starting out wide is a significant highlight of the team that has been named, as supporters have been keen for that to happen.

Seeing Dennis Cirkin on the bench will also make fans happy after his recent injury, as people are keen for him to get some minutes to build toward the playoffs.
Many fans will also be pleased that Tom Watson has been benched as he has become a controversial figure among the Stadium of Light faithful due to his impending transfer away from the club.
Sunderland fans have been left impressed by the team selection
Le Bris’ team selection has left people frustrated in recent weeks, and that has been reflected by the poor results on the pitch.
Sunderland fans believe that Le Bris has been resting players, but that’s led to a poor run of results that the team can ill-afford at this point of the campaign.
However, there are a lot of happy Sunderland supporters heading into the game against Oxford due to the team that has been started.
Fans believe Le Bris has taken “the leash off” heading into this game, while others believe there could be a “curveball” thrown in terms of who stars out wide.
