    We look a much better team with him in it. He knits midfield and up front together far more effectively than Pritchard.

    Like I have just said to Rooch my memory isnt good but was Mel Holden about at the same time or am I way off. Used to see Holden every day in the bookies over Roker.

    No later,
    Our end was rammed full and then the tear gas came in and there was enough room for the same amount of fans again.<laugh>

    It was rammed but as a mere youth thats what we loved. It was the fact we scored early, I was hammered and just sang for the whole game.

    Mad day all round wasn't it, the police were useless and Leicester were after trouble all day. A Sunderland minibus pulled up at traffic lights outside a pub. About 30 Leicester came out and smashed the windows then tried to pull people out ...

    ... fortunately the driver just drove through them and got away.

    When they reported it to the nearest police they said the lads had obviously come for trouble and got it <doh>

    Really tough game tonight. Keep it tight and hit them on the break, Vestegaard is slow as **** if we can get inbehind him

    Keith Stroud ffs <doh>

    Think they offer different things, Pritch has quick clever passing, and some lovely assists, but less of an end product. We need goals, can’t rely so much on Clarke, and we don’t have Amad anymore

    I don't think we need surprises unless we get to 70 minutes level tbh, then I'd hope Mowbray shocks them and really goes for it.

    We parked up in a not very desireable estate in our van with COWIES of Sunderland written on the side in large letters. Not one of our better decisions <laugh><laugh><laugh>.

    We just cannot shrug off these injuries

    No Bennette either. Is that selection issue, or more injuries?

    If Dack is injured again after 30 mins v Stoke then we have to question the lad's ability to play enough games this season to have an influence

    Needs Clarke to have one of "those" games to stand a chance here. Their bench is just as strong as their starting XI

    Free hit this. Absolutely no stress



    No, I don't believe that either
