Watched the Ipswich v Leicesrer game. Some sublime football played. Leicester are Premier League, and Ipswich have owners with a vision, a good CEO who recruited a future Premier League manager. They have bought three or 4 players for a round a million each. The manager has got a tune out of all them quickly, including Hirst. However frustrated we are with JDT, he has up until recently had us punching above our weight. If we get no incoming players in this window, then we will be lower mid table obscurity. Significant signings will only happen if we sell Wharton. Either way, I think JDT will be off to a club that matches his ambitions. As for Hull, hoping for 1-1

Our two crack summer signings on the bench. 🤔

Be careful what you wish for. He will be off just as soon as he has cocked up their heritage. And probably bled them dry.

Reading the responses from Sunderland fans they loved him. Owners didn’t invest , so he brought the youngsters on. Still a few points off the play offs. Took them to the playoffs with nothing last year. This comment says it all. "As custodians of our great club, we believe in our long-term strategy that we hope will ensure sustainability and success for SAFC. "Central to that approach is a relentless demand for a high performance culture to be implemented throughout the club and the development of a strong playing identity that you, our loyal supporters, can all be proud of." That from a 25 year old playing FIFA with Daddy’s money. Straight out of the consultants book of corporate bollocks Heckingbotty wont fare any better if he goes there.

And they used their get out of jail card on us. Watch them escape now

Little anxious about this one. Wednesday will be all cocky after the draw with Leicester. Big ground and huge support. We are flying high. Hope I am just being a negative nancy. Need to shut Bannon down. 🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌

A familiar refrain. This time from Birmingham fans. “Conceding too many goals..can’t play out from the back..98% of goals conceded under Rooney tenure have come from blue’s trying to play out from the back..,can’t play that way..we are incompetent and cannot adhere to the you score 3 we’ll score 4 mentality..if that’s how blues owners want us to be then fgs get rid of WR and get keegan in”

🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌. I read the report. They will be all confident now. Barry Bannon is a handful.

They drew with Leicester tonight. Hope they haven’t found their sea legs just yet.

You are talking about his brand not his product 😂

Sammie signed a new contract. Cheeky, committed, hard working, no fancy bolloxs just gets stuck in. And dedicated to the club. Love the guy.

Wonderful result. Congrats to the team, the manager, and our support. Whatever the merits of loans, the model of mixing our brightest with some wonderful young talent from the premier league is pretty smart. Hill and Moran are growing every day in stature and value to us, and their clubs. No wonder Premier League teams are happy to loan us their most promising. .

Funny to see Mowbray justifying Dack signing at length. We dodged a bullet there, and he is more expensive. https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/23945814.sunderland-tony-mowbrays-promising-bradley-dack-update/

I think another dig at our crack recruitment team.

My Plymouth mate warned me he was in the treatment room more than on the pitch. Surely to God we checked this stuff out. Not very well methinks.

Passing out of the back quicker. Meds to read the game as he catches the ball

Should be alright now

Boot it up to Siggy

Adam is a beautiful passer of the ball but ne is not the complete player. He lollops around and is not defence minded

Red card. About to say I am still skittish.

Woooooooo. Class passing.

Tronstad and Moran quiet. It is still a lottery at 2-0

We will get screwed passing out from the back.

Oh I say.
