The lack of protection for our centre backs from midfield worries me a bit , as highlighted at Blackburn . Feels like a bit of a dentist visit today

We need to lance that "failing-to-win" abscess.

Otherwise there could be an extraction sooner than anyone expected.

[Lanterne Rouge]

Just watching the SS build up and still can`t come to terms with the fact that Bournemouth v Luton is a Premier League game.

How confident is everyone? For the first time this season i have put my weekly £10 bet on Sunderland so i dont get my usual depression at 5pm please city make me lose.

I am very much of the opinion that Nige's "sacking" had little to do with performance on the pitch but other personal issues behind the scenes. Will we ever know the full story ?  No, I think not.

If we ever do, I know who it will come from.

[Gillies Downs Leeds]

Tanner 11/2 to be carded with Bet365. Xmas bonus time..

[Silvio Dante]

Great to see the clubs social media team are aware of the kickoff time. New intern Tina Briannan doing sterling work.

That game with Chris Garland on the programme was one of the all-time great matches I have attended, it was 1970 and we were 1-3 down against Sunderland and came back to win 4-3 what a match.

I remember it well and it was one of my favourite games.

First match of the season, Sunderland playing in grey and, to cap it all, I got Mick McGiven’d autograph.

Well it ain't gonna come from the club, is it?

Interested to see how Sunderland's Pritchard plays, whether he plays like a false 9 and drops into pockets to outnumber our two DMs.  Really need Vyner or Dickie to not let that happen, but also not leave gaps / be aware of players running off of Pritchard.

Clarke is obviously a huge threat, and Roberts is very skilful, but Pring usually good 1v1.

About time O’Nien gets his comeuppance and gets a red card.

Fingers and toes crossed today.

[Barrs Court Red]

Some really chatty Sunderland fans on the train.  Nice bunch, then we came across the vermin coming off the coaches….

I am sure it hasn't taken you this long to reach that conclusion. Ofcourse it had nothing to do with performances, but an unwillingness to massage the Lansdown ego and their realisation that he was infinitely more popular than them. Although I was a, supporter of LJ up to the last month or so of his tenure, the Lansdown willingness to accept his losing streaks without giving him the sack, including losing 8 in a row, told you all you needed to know about the type of manager they preferred.

I think you're right and would be surprised if he's not a false 9. He's a real workhorse and pest with real ability to feed the likes of Clarke and Roberts. and perhaps Jobe Bellingham later. Another one of those players who are top Championship performers but not quite good enough for the PL.

What did Cponway do that for?  Not good to get a yellow this early.

We've started with the right intensity, but already a few moments of sloppiness have put pressure back on us. Definitely seems to be a confidence issue within the side.

[The Original OTIB]

Sloppy so far for me.

Nailed on pen and red card.

Agreed Dave. How can you miss that!

Mehmeti bright so far 

[collier]

I mean is anyone actually surprised we didn't get that? Refs are so scared to give us anything around the box it seems.

[Engvall’s Splinter]

Sunderland defensively are there for the taking.
