Could Le Bris start with two strikers?
Shields Gazette
|December 13, 2025
Former Sunderland striker David Connolly has claimed that head coach Regis Le Bris could make a bold tactical decision and start with both Wilson Isidor and Brian Brobbey at the point of attack against Newcastle United.
-
The Black Cats host their fierce local rivals in a hotly anticipated clash at the Stadium of Light this weekend, with several question marks remaining over what starting XI Le Bris will opt to field.
One of the key headaches facing the Sunderland boss is whether to play Isidor or Brobbey from the first whistle, with the pair having rotated in and out of the side over the Black Cats’ past few outings.
Connolly has suggested that Le Bris could spring something of a surprise by naming both centre forwards on his team sheet this weekend.
