Thing is after the result against Burnley last week and with them being at home, the crowd are going to expect a performance. If they try to take the game to us and push on, we have the players to play through them. If their defence is as weak as mentioned previously then our forward players are going to be lining up to have a pop at goal. This side is different is previous Sunderland sides, they are a fluid, intelligent and very technical side who are starting to play the way RLB wants them to. I can't see anything but an away win

The Lads have the opportunity to extend their five-point lead at the top of the table. Here is everything you need to know after the game… Opposition QPR currently sit 23rd in the current Championship table with just one win from their opening 12 games this season. The Hoops’ last win came on 30th August beating Luton Town by two goals to one. They are yet to taste victory on home soil in the league this season. Swiss frontman Michael Frey is their current top scorer with three goals whilst summer signing Karamoko Dembele has three assists to his name. QPR are the second lowest scorers in the league with 11 goals so far. Only Swansea City have scored fewer goals this season. Pre-Match Insights Régis Le Bris’ side are currently the top scorers in the league with 23 goals this season. Romaine Mundle and Wilson Isidor top the Club’s goalscoring charts with four each. Isidor has scored those four goals in his last six games for the Club. The Lads have won on their last two trips to Loftus Road Stadium. Last season, Jack Clarke, Dan Ballard and Abdoullah Ba were the goalscorers in a 3-1 victory in West London. Team News Eliezer Mayenda is available for selection after completing full training this week at the Stadium of Light and the Academy of Light.

Heard riggy is out tomorrow and may not be back til after international break not sure if 100% true or what the problem is but thought I’d pass on incase
Thanks mate....keep us up to date. If true,he has played a lot of matches.....a rest will maybe do him good.He may have picked up a knock.
Wouldn’t mind going 2 up top with connolly doing riggs pressing and dropping in to link the play, could be over complicating things like expect Browne to slot in fine
Would be nice to see aleksic get some minutes soon too, seems very attack minded so could be handy behind Isidor/mayenda
Him? https://x.com/Bairdy26/status/18523...go.net/smb/threads/chris-rigg.1639951/page-68 Not seen one bit of team news he’s leaked.
He's an idiot who's probably another sad Mag ... ... predicting a defeat on the basis of one player being out @Bairdy26 "Rigg out tomorrow. Unbelievable. Got 1-0 QPR written all owa it."
Aleksic could be the ideal replacement for Rigg, having said that it'll be Browne in possibly even go Connolly upfront
This stuff with Rigg is worrying and hopefully he ends up okay. on the football side we’ve got the depth to cover him. But means **** all his health is the most important
Quite right mate, nothing should be posted or speculated on unless there's a club announcement. It certainly shouldn't be stuck up on Twitter.
I might have mixed him up with the lad that posts teams I know he got a word of the club to pack it in, would be a sick thing to make up
