    I was the only Sunderland supporter in my Primary School in Edinburgh. It's all my Grandpa's fault

    Sounds like he's a fuse short of a circuit board.

    Roberts isn't as effective as a 10. He's far better with a bit more space on the wing. Ba has played well there, but I'd be swapping them today

    Think it'll be tighter than that. 2-1 to us I reckon

    Early goal for them, Clarke equaliser on the hour. Last min Rusyn winner

    I'd like to see us take on more shots outside the box especially if it rains ...

    ... against Watford Jobe had the perfect netburster to run onto but took two touches and lost momentum.

    That happened a few times.

    Agreed. We said the same - seem to want to score the perfect goal every time. That backheel that Burstow did when he could/should have shot was a classic example. The Jobe non-shot you mention was as well.
    I get that we play a certain way, but all goals count the same at the end of the match - 15 passes and a glorious finish, or scuffed in off your arse - it makes no difference

    Anyone know if a season card for the concourse will work on the lower bowl turnstiles?

    Need this sorting by the hour mark as I’m off to watch the grandson (16) referee his first game with adult players.
    FA have been so impressed with him doing kids football they’re giving him a leg up to see how he gets on so can’t miss the 2.30 ko. Luckily it’s only 15 minutes away.

    Boro have gone for lots of rotation and we’ve gone for none!
