Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Leeds United FC - Friday 4th October 2024 - KO 20:00

For all the faults he has made and there are some, for sure, Speakman has done a remarkable job overall.

I wonder if they picked him on the radar at Newcastle Airport. He’s a fair height up there. Now we can call him our Squadron Leader

 

bench will get stronger in time, and some new lads are yet to play. Hopefully sooner rather than later on both fronts as lots of quality in there: Ballard, Alese, Huggins, Samed, Mayenda, Aleksic, Abdullahi, Poveda

 

Just for the record the Grandson eventually made it for the last 30mins after a protracted evening meal (hic!) - is already practicing his R foot volley with a fierce concentration and signed off with a vigourous 97th min double fist pump.

The sheep white noise has been replaced by a bouncing SOL by his proud dad.

He's been around less than a week - now it's not for me to draw parallels here...

Many thanks for all the positive responses from one and all - great to share the love - the scarfe is coming along, should be ready for his school debut!

That’s what I like to see quality

 

It has. Expired in the summer

 

I had him in a double with Neil only had £2 on tho

 

I wonder what our 3 unknowns will turn out like.
Samed, Aleksic and Abdullah.

When will we actually start to see them.
Are they all first teamers.
Do we have another hidden gem or two in there.

About Christmas time we should have some idea.
It’s like getting a mini transfer window all on our own when these start to appear.

Also, when will Huggins be back, hopefully, like Cirkin, for a longer time than his earlier appearances.

FWIW I thought Rodon was Leeds best player. He seemed to stop just about everything from happening with our attack (although Browne fooled him with his clever goal)

 

haha sorry mate. Didn't see you had.

 

Emmerdale?

 

Burnley v Preston result said that to me, 0-0 and Burnley were really poor and Preston were so unlucky not to win it, even had a perfectly good goal wrongly ruled out by offside decision.

 

I think there'll be a lot more teams involved in the playoff fight this season.

 

looks to me that it could be heaton or south gosforth , just a guess.

 

Not us. - top2
