    28' Great double save from Jameson in the Darlington goal as he twice blocks vicious efforts from Fletcher.

    15:31
    29' Well played from Mannone at the other end as the Italian drops down at his near post to scoop up a left-wing cross.

    15:32
    39' Watmore defends well as Darlington get forward - the youngster doing well to block off an attacker after the ball was pumped into the box.

    15:33
    30' Sunderland break well as Cabral threads a ball through for Fletcher before Ba receives possession in the box, but the midfielder slips at the vital moment and Darlington clear. Half-hearted claims for a penalty are rejected.

    15:34
    31' Cabral and Fletcher race away on the end of a through-ball - but the offside flag's up to prevent what would have been a certain goal.

    15:36
    33' Darlington's best chance of the game so far - Chris Hunter's cross finds Purewal but the striker can't steer his effort on target.

    15:36
    34' Great save! Thompson heads a cross goalwards at the near post, but Mannone blocks brilliantly!

    36' 'He's big, he's bad, he's Wesley Brown' rings out as the former Manchester United man warms up on the touchline...

    15:39
    37' Nine players in total warming up on the near-side touchline - looks like a fair few half-time changes!

    15:41
    39' Ball blasted straight out of play and towards the subs - but Lee Cattermole is saved from a face full of football by Modibo Diakite's hand!

    15:43
    41' Costel Pantilimon is out warming up, too - Jordi Gomez already there so looks like we will be seeing both the other new boys in the second half.

    You know mate, whatever happens, it's one of the things that brings me pride in the club. US.

    I don't know if I'd love the club as much if it weren't for the fact that so many of us do!

    Imagine supporting Blackburn or some ****e man, **** that.

    44' Half-chance for Sunderland as the ball is delivered into a dangerous area, but the impressive Jameson is out again to block. The Darlo keeper's looked commanding in the first half.

    15:48
    44' Another opportunity for the visitors - this time it's El Hadji Ba, whose shot is blocked after Clayton picked him out with a low ball across the box.

    15:49
    HALF TIME: Darlington 1883 0 Sunderland 2. And that's that for the first period. Two Fletcher goals are the difference and Gus Poyet will have been satisfied with what he's seen so far. Check back soon for live text coverage of the second half!

    Pantilimon warming up alongside Giaccherini is a sight to behold! The Italian just passes the Bidvest on the keeper's jumper!

    hahahahaha

    Guessing second half XI will be: Costel, Mavrias, Brown, Diakite, Ferguson, N'Diaye, Cattermole, Giaccherini, DMK, Gomez, Wickham

    Very happy with that

    Love to see that pic of Cos & Giacc, haha.

    Clayton is an insanely highly rated lad on trial is he not?
