And in a poll on our @sunechosafc Twitter page, we asked fans which side they would like to see start against the Trotters – who are yet to win in League One this term. And supporters indicated they want to see Ross make TWO changes in the North West as the Black Cats looking to return to the winning ways. Scroll down and click through the pages to see the team Sunderland fans want to start against Bolton:
1. RB: Luke O'Nien
Pushed into a more advanced role on Tuesday evening, 87% of supporters want to see O'Nien return to the right-back berth at Bolton. Photo: FRANK REID
2. CB: Jordan Willis
Impressive in recent weeks, the centre back has built-up a strong partnership with Alim Ozturk - and 63% of voters want to see the ex-Coventry man start again. Photo: FRANK REID
3. CB: Alim Ozturk
And 58% of supporters have called for Ross to stick with the Ozturk-Willis partnership at Bolton. Photo: FRANK REID 2019
4. LB: Denver Hume
With Laurens De Bock still not up to speed after his deadline day arrival, Hume is the only natural left-back at Sunderland's disposal - and 96% of fans want to see him start there ahead of a more unorthodox option. Photo: FRANK REID
