    Is it Cornet they are selling? If that deal goes through I fear Kompany will be back with an offer we just can't turn down, which would be sad. Really hope we get a few weeks of the season in before any decision is made. We could have a spanking season and be doing better than Burnley. They may...

    Match Thread ⚽️ Sunderland vs Coventry City Match Thread - Sunday 31st Jul

    I think we score early and end up convincing winners. I watched a couple of Sunderlands pre season game highlights and boy they were dreadful. They would have a complete about face to be anywhere near ready for this. I guess 40k fans might spur you on but I doubt it tbh. I'd still be happy with...

    Is there a fantasy league set up for this forum group? (link?)

    Rotherham attendance

    19,500. If we have a good result at Sunderland we may push into 22000, but lots of sceptisism about the season ahead and Coventrians doing what they do best - holding back, wait a see attitude no doubt. Conversely I expect near 40,000 for Sunderland's first home game back in the Championship...

    Go on then. Where do we finish?

    Hanging on to 2nd spot until very late on, and agonisingly end 3rd. Wembley beckons again and we win the playoff final.

    Think we thumped fulham twice last year did we not?

    In that case Walker and Waghorn miss out.

    Away from home it will likely be one up top to start and that clearly gives advantage to Vik. But that means Vik is looking for the runner. If no Godden, and apart from O'Hare then one or two of Allen, Hamer & Sheaf need to be a bit more forward when we counter. Godden will come on when either...

    So what's our starting 11? And why?

    My word the conjecture on here is insane. Let it all go folks. Close the thread. No one is leaving as yet.

    If day about 250+ fans making some noise Attendance 5700. Chaps next to me said how we were technically much better and passed the ball in one twos and the quality was higher. One said it was a top 6 championship side they were playing. That’s it, night folks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Just back and had an enjoyable trip down to a crappy stadium held up with layers of paint and glue. TBF we were far and away a better side without really getting out of first gear. However we had our moments at the back and a great save from Wilson at one point. Other than that we dominated and...

    Difference in quality evident. But we are not particularly threatening yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bournemouth after Moore?

    It would not bother me either way if Moore left tbh.

    If we keep the big 3 (4 including Sheaf)

    Top 6 of course for me. I don't see more than 4 or 5 teams better than us over a season. Look out for some surprises too. A lot depends on the start. If we get out the blocks quick and are top 2 or 3 for a few weeks, I think this time we would sustain a top 6 finish.

    It's true the window is not closed for a while yet, but then again teams need to get ready with the squads they have now. Concentration should now be on the season ahead which is very shortly due to start. If burnley are having a mare early doors they might re-consider bidding again of course...
