Not just 3 points at stake, but also The Friendship Trophy The Friendship Trophy is awarded to the team with the winning aggregate score in competitive matches over the season between the two sides. As such, Sunderland are the current holders of the trophy, having won 4-2 over the two league games in the 2017/18 EFL Championship season. The trophy was most recently contested in March 2023, when the teams played at Carrow Road, with Norwich having a 1–0 advantage having beaten Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on 27 August 2022 in the EFL Championship, though ultimately following Sunderland's 1-0 victory at Carrow Road, the aggregate score stood at 1-1, so Sunderland retained the trophy. The League game is secondary to this Magnificent Trophy. https://www.google.com/search?q=sun...ate=ive&vld=cid:ab519d35,vid:v_xRPOeE0GQ,st:0
Stacey has been the only one from the back 4 to have played well & gets dropped . The Gibson Duffy partnership has been guff for 2 months
I am not supporting those remaining in the team but Stacey had a bit of a mare, in terms of passing, on Tuesday. And because of his normal decent stuff, it stood out - I guess so much, he's got the boot
By playing Gibson and Duffy instead of Warner and Batt perhaps Wagner doesn’t want to be seen as panicking.
Forshaw makes a mistake and then a Duffy own goal. You couldn’t make this up. BBC Sport website gives the goal to Hume.
