    Agreed, his close control is unreal

    His decision making is poor and he doesnt have an end product. I want to see him get himself into the box more for tap ins, he doesnt get across or behind his man enough

    Cringeworthy mate, and it wasn’t just a few people either. I’m sure it was only about 15 minutes into the game too. As much as I don’t rate O’nien that was just appalling for our fans to jump on one of our players backs so early in the game.

    I don't believe so, I think we're better than that ... and that's fifty years experience talking.

    You may be right but I sincerely hope you're wrong otherwise we're not the supporters I believe we are.

    Match day is here, feels like ages since we had a home game and can't wait.

    Few beers with family before the game, hopefully the gobshite behind us keeps his whining mouth shut and the crowd get behind the lads.

    Let's hope we start at a good pace, playing that quick football we know we can and get after them from the off.

    Haway me bonny lads

    I think everyone has a gobshite behind them, must be part of the T&Cs when buying a ticket. The one about 4 or 5 rows behind me has his wife with him, and she repeats everything he's just shouted about 2 seconds after him. Word for word anarl, that's what you call devotion <laugh>

    I think.his first touch is one of the best I have ever seen and not just at Sunderland. He difts past players at ease and his only problem really is the last bit which to be honest when it clicks works well
    I think Amad helped in that respect as he would help to create space and I think PR and TM just need to find a way to create a little more room and work on that last bit

    Patrick Roberts spoke to the media ahead of facing his former loan club Norwich, although he only made four appearances during that frustrating spell in 2019.

    DIFFERENT MEMORIES
    “I have had many clubs down the line and come up against a few of them so it’s all different memories. It’s one I want to win and we’ll prepare and do our best. They are a good side but we’ll be full of confidence and do our best to give the fans something to be proud of.”

    LEICESTER REFLECTIONS
    “You just have to take the positives and take them to the next game. They are a top side and have a top squad. That’s what these teams can do, they are top of the league."

    EXECUTE THE GAMEPLAN
    “I think we had a gameplan and ruffled them up a little bit. We have done that to teams in the past and have to do it a bit more at home with the crowd behind us. We have to do that every game and can’t just do that as a one off. At times we have been brilliant this season but like I said it’s the results that matter. I’m sure the manager will rally us and we’ll go again on Saturday.”

    On the train to Newcastle, which they’ve just announced is terminating at Berwick!

    Never mind, I'm looking forward to some more great football and, hopefully, a better result ...

    ... as the injuries, etc, start clearing up it'll put more pressure on the team to perform.

    Apparently Rusyn has been played videos of the crowd shouting SHOOOOOOT to help him with the language.

    That goal by Campbell was a beauty. Always liked him.

    Eliezer Mayenda devrait faire sa première apparition dans le groupe demain face à Norwich. #SAFC

    In the squad today, looking forward to seeing him in something other than video clips.

    A few reports doing the rounds that mayenda is in the squad too. I tend to see Norwich as a decent team at this level but we have to get the 3 points today they’re in shocking form, hopefully turn it around today and then we have a favourable run of games up until the New Year where we should pick up a fair few points.
