Aye I would as well. Mayenda has done well but I think a change is needed

Totally disagree, what Mayenda has done out of possessio has helped us win 3 games - isidor is unlikely to have picked up the whole tactical side in a week.

The tactically side of our CFs is so so big to the system

Anyway, can discuss that on the match day thread

Sunderland against Aston Villa can rightly be described as football’s first great rivalry, with the Wearsiders capturing the First Division Championship in 1891/92, 1892/93 and 1894/95, and with Villa taking the title in 1893/94, 1895-96, 1896-97 and 1898-99.

In 1912/13 Sunderland again won Division One, but were beaten by the Villans in the FA Cup Final at the Crystal Palace before a then World Record crowd of in excess of 120,000.

The rivalry was marked by the painting that resides in the entrance to the Stadium of Light, the one in the lead photo of this very article.

This is of the game at Newcastle Road on 2nd January 1895 - a match which ended 4-4, with two goals from Gillespie and one each from Hannah and Millar for the home side and two from Smith, a penalty from Reynolds and one from Devey doing the damage for the away team. The attendance was 12,000.

The painting is recognised as the oldest of an Association Football match anywhere in the world, and thus marking it out as something special.

They've been after another c.back for weeks so look to have that sorted. Surely they'll address the glaring priority of 2 solid forward players - Wilson alone doesn't give enough depth in such an important area. Will be leaving RLB somewhat hamstrung following the loss of Clarke imo.

He has said this and a couple of posters on here have said similar. What's mad is that no signings have been announced yet. Would think they would start coming through by now!
