Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Brentford FC - Saturday 30th August 2025 - KO 15:00

theres on in the first half again by reinildo i believe that is more of a pen than the one he gave

via the bbc highlights

 

We won. I'm allowed rum. New rule.

 

Not enough players attacking the box imo, we still have too many on their heals and being reactive in the box. The quality of our crosses were good today, and have been this season - 3 goals from crosses already this season

We will become more fluid with more game time plus time on the pitch - we've signed so many players, it'll take time for them to adapt

 

Yeah I was exactly the same as you and watched them real time. As a guess it was "refs call" for VAR so both weren't overturned. Wouldn't be surprised if the ref was just evening it up though. Could be wrong, but both seemed harsh/random

 

The roar and the the roof is on fire was fantastic

 

Spot on, cheers marra.

Like I said talbi was quite but whipped 2 decent ones in (the 1st especially) just would've liked to see more runners. Probably just a fluidity issue.

I was glad to see we created more today (if not loads) than Burnley. I think the 3 upfront will score goals, but would like to see a creative spark, either winger or midfield, to make us properly complete.

 

Keepers were arguably the major difference. I rate Kelleher but hes had a mare compared to future 100 million pound keeper Roefs.

 

Wilson is becoming a bit of a legend. It’s mad that there was thought process to sell him really.

You can’t buy and bottle the genuine love he has for the place, and when it matters he is there, time and time again.

He is a real asset and a brilliant character.

 

I'd be fuming if Roefs had let Isidors in

 

Town is electric. What a feeling right now

 

Im pissed now. But just wanna say Le fee is the man . He was fecking unreal today, he needs to start every game going forward

 

His 2 goals this year havent shown it, but his data shows he's class at hitting the side netting with shot placement. Think he'll score more than a few this year with his pace and the way we play.

 

For all those who might be interested I can confirm, (I have access to the GPS instrument buried inside him), that Sadiki is now home. He had, as usual decided to run home, but had taken a detour to Seahouses to get some chips. He arrived home safely about three minutes before he left. He has just finished his evening jog.

 

What a day what a result against a very good Brentford side and still people can’t enjoy it and look for negatives,thought the lads did a bloody good job the day so proud of them COME ON

 

Enjoy marra. At least we cant get beat next week

 

Is Ku club back open ? Absolute sceeeenes if it is. One last dance......

 

Ederson esque

 

Great result which will calm down Twitter

Tactics were excellent

Individual players are starting to get an understanding of each other, playing as a team

Le Fee played magnificently

Xhaka was back to his best. I'm still riled by the knacker calling him Kaka on Twitter last week

Quality crosses coming in

I'd like to get a striker in but the market is tight as a gnat's chuff. Isidor and Mayenda are doing well for now

Hopefully more players in at the end of the window but the new lads look good. All killer, no filler.

 

Quite a few of these players genuinely "Get it", get what we're about and what it means to wear the famous colours.We don't advertise it like them up the road with the whole "ya divvent understand man", but now and again, players like Quinn,Phillips,Ball and Luke embrace it here and get it. I believe that a huge core of the team get what we're about. Good times here, after years of ****e,so in the words of Robert Herrick "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may".
