'Great to see!': Sunderland fans react as Jack Ross makes surprising selection call against Shrewsbury

Jack Ross has named his Sunderland side to take on Shrewsbury

Many had expected Ross to make changes from the side that beat Bradford, so an unchanged line-up comes as something of a surprise to many.

However, supporters were pleased to see some continuity and have backed the decision-making of the Sunderland boss once again - although some did suggest some changes.
