15:03 by Stuart Vose We're about to get under way following an immaculately observed minute's silence of memory of the two Newcastle supporters killed aboard Malaysian Airlines Flight 17. 15:03 1' And we're off! Ha'way the Lads! 15:04 1' Early chance for Darlington as a cross from the right finds Purewal at the back post, but the big striker hooks his effort wide of Vito Mannone's goal. 15:06 3' Early sight of goal for Max Clayton(<-), who takes aim from outside the box and forces Darlington keeper Peter Jameson to gather well. 15:07 4' Chance for Sunderland as Jones gets forward and fizzes in a cross from the left, but it's beyond everyone including lone striker Steven Fletcher and away from danger. 15:10 8' Unsurprisingly, Darlington look up for this - they're eager to test themselves against a Barclays Premier League side. 15:11 8' A great opportunity for young George Honeyman, who's making his senior debut out on the right. 15:12 10' Fletcher is brought crashing down out on the right and there's a chance for Sunderland to get the ball into the box here. 15:13 11' Close! Larsson puts in an excellent delivery and O'Shea climbs highest to get a good contact on the ball, but his header's just over the bar. 15:14 12' Darlington win possession and break down the left, but Watmore does well to stand his ground and then slide the ball out for a throw-in.
15:16 13' GOAL! DARLINGTON 1883 0 SUNDERLAND 1. The Black Cats take the lead with their first goal of the pre-season and a well-worked move to boot. Watmore drove at the defence before slipping the ball through for Clayton, whose low delivery was finished by Steven Fletcher from three yards.
He scores when he wants, he scores when he wants By the way just watching Borini playing on this link if anyone is interested http://www.vipboxgb.co/football/236797/1/preston-north-end-vs-liverpool-fc-live-stream-online.html
15:19 17' Stephen Thompson gets forward for Darlington and although his initial shot is blocked, he does manage to test Mannone with a low drive which is comfortably gathered by the Sunderland keeper. 15:21 The players celebrate following the opening goal... please log in to view this image 15:21 19' Fletcher brought down on the edge of the box, central. Larsson will fancy this... 15:22 19' The Swede's effort rebounds off the defensive wall and Darlington clear. 15:22 19' The Swede's effort rebounds off the defensive wall and Darlington clear.
How sad is this ? Im a grown man watching my cpu screen for some fella in darlington to type an update. All the time flipping between facebook twitter and this thread , just incase i miss something.....
I'm watching Liverpool on BT Sport like, Fabio & Hendo, always interested. The commentary 'pings' anyway.
15:23 20' GOAL! Darlington 0 Sunderland 2. The Black Cats double their advantage and it's Fletcher again. The visitors won the ball back after the free-kick was cleared and George Honeyman rolled the ball into the path of Fletcher, who stroked the pass home from close range.
We've took him on a two week trial mate, that team sheet above is obviously wrong. Have you seen the Blackpool team for their friendly today: TEAM: Trialist, Waddington, Trialist, Perkins, McMahon (C), Dunne, Zenjov, Trialist, Trialist, Grant, Trialist. SUBS: Barkhuizen, Trialist, Highan, Telford, Moulden, Gregory, Trialist. Now that's desperate!
Just posted a good link, he is playing on the left and looking lively, closing down at every opportunity Edit: Gone more central now
