    Can't wait to see the lads tomorrow after missing midweek.

    I love watching us playing proper football and after 2 wins where we didn't get out of second gear I would love to see us at full speed.

    I've said many times, one game it will all click and we will absolutely destroy the opposition. Be lovely if it was tomorrow

    WTF is wrong with people!

    Early kick off, live on Sky and some travel disruption ...

    ... yet they still insist on going to a football match.

    Looks close to a sell out <laugh>

    Canny strip. Remember being at an away day pre season at Gateshead international stadium just after that was launched.

    6 lads in a Rover Princess. Exhaust fell off on the way back to Weardale. That strip always brings back that memory.

    Was it Hauser who stood on the ball when he had an open goal <laugh><laugh> Happy days.

    How much do you all respect Leadbitter?

    Just asking cause my mate was talking to him at the Boro match last week and he was telling him how much Boro would batter us.

    Is it just me after a drink or is that disrespectful especially in how our seasons are currently panning out and the fact his dads ashes are on our pitch?

    Hes hero worshipperd here in Teesside i think his head has been turned?

    Sunderland: Tony Mowbray on Chelsea loanee Mason Burstow

    upload_2023-10-6_20-35-26.jpeg

    By Dominic Shaw

    TONY Mowbray believes the goals will come for Mason Burstow and isn't at all concerned about the striker's wait to break his Sunderland duck - instead judging the Chelsea loanee on his all-round play for the Black Cats….

    "He's done fine. I'm judging him on the work ethic and running capacity. Football is played in and out of possession and this kid can run and close down and press and hurry the defence up," said Sunderland's head coach.

    "He needs a break in front of goal, he needs to score, strikers get judged on the goals they score at the end of the day.

    "But he is a young boy who's relatively inexperienced. He needs something to fall for him. He needs Clarke to beat his man, get to the byline and cut it back and he's there for a side foot from two yards and then he'll be off and running because he's working really hard in training."

    Burstow is still getting to grips with the way Sunderland play and what Mowbray wants from his strikers, as are fellow forwards Hemir, Eliezer Mayenda and Nazariy Rusyn.

    Mowbray said: "He's a very conscientious boy, he watches all his clips back and we talk him through things: could he have done this movement or got into that position. It's a learning process for him and that's fine.

    "It's the same for Semedo and Mayenda when he's up and running. It's the same for Rusyn, they have to learn how we play, when to go, the work ethic of the team.

    "It takes time. They don't understand sometimes, especially if the language is an issue and it's difficult to explain to them that they're not doing this right or that right and they have to get over there and cut this line off or press down that line.

    "They're difficult conversations with young footballers and if I don't feel they can do it and they don't understand, they don't play."

    One has started a game, one wasn't totally fit but all have played except the one who's injured.

    Everyone is Tees ...

    ... and, when you see him, don't forget to tell him Steve Gibson is totally bald and wears a wig.

    A mate, who plays golf with him, caught him coming out of the showers looking like a little pink Buddha <laugh>
