Tells you everything about Siggys quality to be put straight in after injury.

Looking forward to seeing Arnor!

I’m strangely confident we will see a result of some kind today. Moran 1-1

Our away support has always been good. Mainly because of our southern fan base…It’s our home which has always been poor IMO.

I rate markanday over Dolan definirly but Moran 100% tops them both. Markanday has a neat touch and certainly has a wicked left foot. That’s about it though, needs to be braver on the ball for me.

He may well of been but so was everybody else. Moran carried the ball well, something others can’t do. He won the ball back numerous times in the first half which broke us out into possession. Should have had a goal in the opening minutes it wasn’t for a world class block. Of course he fell away second half but again so did the whole team -He’s a good player and to start Markanday ahead of him is madness - Moran will score goals I can bank on it.

Leo Brittain. Carter Hyam. Pickering Travis. Wharton. Szmodics Hedges Telalovic Moran Ideally Siggy for Hedges but can’t seem him starting yet…Time to throw Telalovic in straight away and see what he’s made of. Leonard did okay yesterday so wouldn’t be against him starting again - Tronstad needs to be on the bench because there’s no way I’m watching Jake Garrett again anytime soon after his cameo last night…

How do you have Markanday in there and no Moran? The latter played well yesterday.

https://x.com/sunderlandafc/status/1704608136663880171?s=46&t=VLikExMPPXWs_m3vXsOXnQ Yet another manager praising how we play and how well we are coached…So frustrating!

Andy Moran was really good in the first half but then faded away second. At least Dolans performance has made JDTs life a lot easier of who he should be picking out of the 2.

What we miss on the wing…Our supposed wingers hold the ball up and pass it back.

We will get these scorelines with the way we play it’s why we have to take our chances! A Shout out to the 3 worst cameos I’ve seen in a long time…Come on down Dolan, JRC and most importantly Jake Garret…All 3 were woeful and I mean beyond shocking. We will probably loose Saturday and back down to realisation we come. The Manager is working with the bare minimum. Imagine, they bring on Roberts as a sub and we bring on Jake Garrett…That’s where we are.

Moran off?! Are you mad??

We’ve defended well! It’s our midfield who keep giving the ball away.

We’ve been unreal for 40 minutes but that last 5 minutes has been awful. We must of given them the ball 4 or 5 times. Hedges Wharton the causes…Can’t do that against teams like this…JDT must be pulling his hair out with all those missed chances… On another note, Moran looks a player!

Big night for Leonard…Thought he was completely out of his depth against Watford but here’s hoping he has a solid game tonight.

Very nervous for tonight…if we lose then we’ve got an even harder game on Saturday. 4 points over these next 2 games would be great - COYB!

I wouldn’t worry to much about them. Like I said, they have a solid defence and have been VERY clinical uptop... Abit like us last season, they will come to a bad spell and start to fall. They will be fighting for a play off come the end, hopefully along with us.

Watched abit of the Preston game. I presume they’re getting their results from having a solid defence as they do look strong…However going forward, bar Millar, they look very poor….Birmingham miles the better team.

I’d throw Telalovic in, but could possibly see Szmodics playing as a false 9 and Moran going as a number 10, where he’s best suited.

Jesus Gallagher can’t have little knocks can he…Every injury is out for weeks and it seems to happen every quarter - Let’s hope zeee German does a job. Good news is Ekwah for Sunderland is injured and will miss the game. He’s been class for them.

Just seeing this being shared on Twitter. Devastating that that we will be loosing this manger at the first sniff - Just imagine where we’d be if he was backed.

All the signs are there again as to why Dolan is not a winger…Hopefully Siggy lives up to expectation and takes his place…Happy for Dolan to get 20 minutes here or there. His press is key, especially on a tired back line towards the latter stages of games.

Really disappointed with that team…Hope we pull it off but we loose this and the manager will deserve what he gets.
