Listen all: I really hope Simms comes good soon and start scoring so that I can and everyone else can shut up and celebrate his goals. I know I have been critical of him and as someone else has stated here, i think Wright doesn't get as much flak is because he's already opened his account, was...

Sunderland fans seem glad they didn't buy Simms, especially for that high a price. Think with Gyo, it was a low-priced gamble with a lot of potential upside. With Simms (and also Wright) the expectation for success is so high partly because of the outlay. The longer the barren spell goes on for...

He was ok today...nothing obvious in terms of poor calls...ref last week was horrible

One more week to try to get our 8M back....lol ;)

Possibly Eccles although he played well today. I think Palmer offers a lot but runs out of gas quickly. Tough one.

Think games like this show how vitally important COH and Allen are. They would help link the midfield to attack. Agree we’re still a work very much in progress, but 2 points from the last 2 games is not a great return. Would’ve liked 4. Maybe the lineup below might be our best if all are fit...

Ayari has to start and maybe we go 1 up top next time. Our midfield was exposed at times today and Sunderland could have potentially won today if not for some last ditch defending. Still not fluid enough.

Horrible toothless

Book Onien again

Ayari is the man!!

We look tired. Bring some subs in MR!!

C’mon bring in some subs

Ayari and Wright on for Eccles (who’s played decent) and Simms off in the second half to freshen things up

Decent performances all around but lacking a cutting edge. A few half chances, but feel Simms should have rifled that shot instead of side footing it. It would have gone to the top right corner instead of being low and was easily parried by their keeper. Need to win this. .

Would take a 1-0, but hope it’s a comfortable win by a couple of clear goals. Godden will start for sure, but not sure who will partner him. Simms needs to get off the mark and Wright looks more of a threat off the bench I think. If MVE is not available, maybe move Eccles to RWB and the new guy...

Thanks to all for clarifying/reminding who were recruited alongside DaCosta and Hilssner. These 2 names obviously stood out for the wrong reasons, but looking back on it, it’s amazing how good that group of players was considering how little we had to spend.

I’m trying remember who was in the same recruitment batch as DaCosta and Hillsner. Decent people but mediocre footballers.

Interesting…those 35-40 yard passes look very Hamer-esque

Yes I’d to recruit Brighton’s talent scout

Yes, still gutted over the way we lost in the playoff finals. I can guarantee that Hamer and Gyo would have stayed had we it made it to the Prem. We could have added Doyle, McNally, Thomas on perms and even Wright. Who knows maybe even Maddison might have wanted to come back. We could have then...
