    excellent Sunderland. Impressed with the intensity of the press for a friendly.

    HT. Very surprised how good we have looked given how early in pre season it is. Well done lads.

    Start as they mean to go on. Hopefully they get used to playing with this intensity in every game and we have a good season

    Agreed. Sunderland crowd could get right behind a high press with real intensity. It suits us best IMO.

    anyone worried about doyle going against 'the big boys' then dont, showed within the first few minutes he is no push over, liking the look of dyce as well, couple of slightly dodgy touches but wants to get forward and go past people (PVA similar?).

    would like to give a glowing report on patterson but he has had little to do really, flanno needs to calm the feck down, can excuse a wee bit of rustiness in places but at least three times off the trot he messed up.

    mainly pleased with the high press and we seem to be aiming to get the ball forward faster and more often.

    Could’ve easily had another penalty. O’Brien hit the bar and their keeper has made a few decent saves.

    Flanagan the only negative so far for me.

    Reckon we have any more lads like him lined up on loan? Think it's the way forward in this league personally, like a breath of fresh air.
