We need to send two new teams down, we need Sunderland to steal points, they need us to too. It’s no good cheering Sunderland to lose

Agree, Sunderland beating West Ham is decent result.

Im hoping Man City beat Wolves but Wolves look frustratingly decent so far.

Will be interesting watching Brentford.

We want it to be quite tight, obviously we want to be picking up points but we also need teams dragged into it. No good someone getting like 5 points as that means more points for teams higher up.
 
City smashing Wolves now which is good news, but yes it now feels like Everton is a must win.

James Justin played for Leicester and came off injured. If we are going for him why the hell is it still not done? bEK is now going to be £35m you watch so we will have wasted weeks yet again on a forward who doesn’t come
 
As expected it’s another fook up as we wasted weeks yet again on BEK who now says he wants Palace and Palace say they want him and are in negotiations with Leicester. So still no AM or Ten or 9 and full back cover

Burnley get smashed up proving you might have a great defensive plan in the Championship but it won’t work in the premier league

The last two seasons, the issue has been the bottom three getting beat by everyone. Lets imagine Burnley and Sunderland finish with the same points total as last seasons Ipswich and Southampton we could still go down with 38-40 points

We need Wolves, West Ham, Everton and anyone else we want dragged in dropping points. I do feel Burnley are a lost cause.

Everything says and has for a while BEK doesn't want to come to us. From us missing the cut to him waiting for his club or clubs he's hand chosen.
Players we want don't want to come is my view on us struggling to nail them down.
You could also say the same for us as in Burnley we have strengthened the backend but we are actually weaker up top with Soloman not there anymore.
Not trying to be a defeatist I'm a bit worried at the moment Bogle fit or not he aint playing 90 mins tomoz then its Schmidt or Byram both championship players at best.
Then who's leading the line?

Its not a **** up if we met BEK, asked him if he would be interested, he said no, and we moved on.

We have Piroe, Nmecha for Monday night with Calvert Lewin on his way. Two and a bit weeks until the window closes.

Sargent scored again today. :emoticon-0130-devil

If Sunderland take their chances like they did this afternoon then they're gonna get top half of the table. Early prediction West Ham will get relegated along side Burnley and it will ruin Potter's career.

Will be intresting to see how Brentford will do after losing Frank to Spurs and selling their best players

Sunderland won’t take their chances like that every week. Xg of 0.7

goals all scored by their championship lads

It was an even game they scored first in.

first goal is critical

Sunderland fans are saying they played fantastic, reports stating they scored well on the counter attack to a very poor hammers team. I’d be amazed if they finished mid table. Good thing is Hammers look like a team that could be fighting relegation. West Ham had nearly 63% of the ball

Sunderland have Burnley and Brentford up next, a great opportunity for them to bag a head start

Sunderland had the day that dreams are made of. West Ham didnt take their chances, Sunderland shots went in. As Milky stated, it wasn't a 3-0 game, just a good day for Sunderland and one of those days for West Ham.

Spurs deservedly beat Burnley but Burnley weren't really played off the park. They were in the game for large parts and held their own for periods of the game.

Two contrasting days for two promoted clubs. Thats football for you. Someday the bounce of the ball goes your way.

We desperately need a day like Sunderland had today where we just get a bit of luck or a really good finish from someone. Get a win under the belt, breeds confidence to go on and hopefully get a few more points.

This! Want to make Elland Rd a fortress as well.

Possession means absolutely fook all, if you don’t do anything with it. We didn’t really let them create many clear cut opportunities. We had the much better chances and put them away.

Anything can happen yet. So many different scenarios… Potter could be sacked next month and then they could bring in a manager that gets them going again. They’ve got really good players and with the right manager they’d probably be fine. With Potter they’ll struggle.

I agree about our fixtures, we have been handed a great run to start the season. We need to capitalise on it. We should be hoping to take at least 4 points from Burnley and Brentford.
