Also I will keep an eye out for road reports and train issues to make sure you are all in the know and can make arrangements to get down here
Saw Aji Alese on some of the changing room footage for the Newcastle game, looks like he is in and around the squad now, anyone reckon he has a chance of making some match day squads anytime soon?
It’s going to be really interesting to see the team. It’ll say a lot about who RLB trusts.
If he is fit enough I would like Cirkin in as left back in a 4 or wing back in a 5 as i don’t like a right footer at left back.

Think it was reported somewhere that he could be back in full training in Jan
Shame he's not fit now, would have been LB cover, though I do prefer him at CB
IF you are drving down, there are 2 P&R near by that go to the stadium ( free too, just show your matchday ticket) - this is where my dad is parking ( after the year we have, the fact we are going to our first game this is amazing!!)
Fantastic as usual @RTB Going for a cheeky 0-1 smash and grab!! Isidor worldie!!! HTL

Habib Diarra set to be involved in the Sunderland squad to face Brighton on Saturday.
All going well the Senegal international will then travel to join up with his international teammates at AFCON.
#SAFC already missing Reinildo, Sadiki, Talbi, Traore & Masuaku due to AFCON

Class again RTB !
Think we might see Wilson on the wing and Big Brian up top, think Mundle is still a bit rusty.
Be a tough game this, I like Brighton they play good football especially at home, would take a point now and fancy us to take one 1-1

RLB:
Diarra and Adingra are still with us.
We have no injuries, the team will be a bit different but the other players will have an opportunity during this period
The players have been patient but now they have the opportunity to play.
We have tough challenges ahead, it is is really clear with Brighton then Leeds, we have to fight for every point.
They are a good side, a strong side, with many individual and collective threats, impressive in possession, strong pressing team, an exciting challenge. We will see if Tommy Watson is involved.
We managed the situation properly, the staff and the player, with the late goal in the final it showed that we managed it well.
I didn't set any limits at the start of the season, we will see during the festive period how we perform.
It is better to start games with a high level of confidence.
Wayne Rooney said you were the best manager in the PL so far - he won, it was a tough game, we struggled in the second half, happy for the club and his statement.
After the derby Xhaka said that it was the first time that he saw you showing emotion, yes we shared the joy of going around the stadium, it was really impressive. You just have to enjoy it.
So far we are doing well,but always a new story, we are excited at this period, we have the right level of desire and ambition, We love new challenges especially when they are tough.
We need to be ready to go again. It was important (derby win) but it's only 3 points.
We knew this period will come, we trust the players who will be involved. We showed good maturity, we are in a good place.

So Diarra hasn’t travelled with Senegal? That’s a big plus, provided he can start playing some minutes

I forgot about AFCON lads being missing. Will miss watching Sadiki stoll about like a seasoned pro at the height of his game!
