https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/spo...s/sunderlands-pre-season-looks-light-16551160 Feck me i didnt realise that. Why would we only arrange 4 friendlies??
I'm a little confused what is going on at the club right now. I hear lads say "plenty of time"...I don't see it that way. We were a whisker away from promotion last season, the areas needed for improvement are well documented..but as yet, very little. The whole inward investment thing has gone missing, and as you say, our preparation for the new season is woeful. But I may be proved wrong, But the way it is right now, its not a great advert for fans looking to renew their season tickets.
How can we possibly get players match fit and give young players like Mumba and Embleton a chance to show what they can do it just 4 games?
I'm hoping these are just the initial ones and there may be a couple more to come. 4 isn't enough at all
Bit late to be arranging new friendlies as we're only 4 weeks away from the start of the season, take off a week for the match against the Dutch and that leaves us very little wriggle room.
