    Cheers Burly, it took a bit more effort for this one as the usual sources still have not published their match previews.
    It helps when Grayson plays the same team - I think last Sunday was the first time that I got the starting 11 right.

    I've become quite fluent in Wandy and I think he means that he's bought into the passion etc of the club to the extent that you may as well call him a fan.

    It's odd how every game last season I was thinking Khazri should be on the pitch but now we've been relegated I don't see a place for him to start. I guess the team has improved.

    It was like those magic eye things, when you first look at it your eyes don't see anything that makes sense but stare at it for a few hours and a rough shape starts to form.

    On Khazri I do still rate him but I wouldn't drop anyone for him at the moment, Honeyman should crack on there he's been very good.

    We'll be in the Globe pre-match if anyone from here is going.

    This should be one of the best away games, imo, and there's a big following by all accounts.

    It's one of our closest away games so a good chance for people to see an away game under floodlights ;)

    Brilliant thread again - I've gone for a Sunderland win and expect a good hard working performance from the lads against a pretty solid Championship team.

    A see 3 teams have 3 out of 3 wins.

    Is this a must win?

    Predicting a Home Win as it's just typical SAFC, but praying for at least a point.

    A rare thing at Sunderland but I think it'll be an unchanged team again.

    Too hard to predict game by game in this league. They'll be looking to bounce back after an underwhelming start.

    Hoping they implore similar tactics to Norwich which played straight into our hands. Grabban and Mcgeady should be full of beans.

    We shall see!

    I think Grayson said an interview that because he's from Ripon he's got a lot of friends who are Sunderland supporters. I suppose it's not too much of a stretch to believe that he is one himself. Thing is, do people in Ripon generally support Sunderland?

    There was a lot of horses there the other day.
    Not far from Catterick which also attracts a lot of horses.
    Soldiers as well.

    As far as I know Ripon's in Yorkshire so I doubt it, either way just because he's got friends who support us doesn't mean he does. He seems to be fully on board and happy about it despite our problems and that's all I'm bothered about.

    Yeah, it is in Yorkshire so I don't really see why most people would support Sunderland. Obviously who his mates support doesn't effect who he supports. I was just suggesting why Wandy, or Wandy's mate, had reached that conclusion.

    Bit early for must wins but i must admit Wolves results especially have been good given the competition they have faced.
