Sunderland v Leeds United Match Thread

[1964white]

I fancy Wolves to get something v. W Ham

Wolves first victory of the season.

[Pullhard]

5 wins & 5 draws gives us in our next 20 games gives us 40 points.

I personally think we'll gather 45+

The current bottom three will struggle to get 30 points.

Wolves, Burnley and Forest have to come to Elland Rd in the second half of the season

[Mick Jones elbow]

Good performance look to becoming more comfortable in the league.

Hell of a coincidence how many of Sunderland's opponents seem to pick up serious injuries early in their games

Can't see Wolves even getting 20 never mind 30.

And Fulham, Brighton & Brentford who are only six points ahead of us.

Bournemouth are in free fall as well.
They could be in trouble if they lose Semenyo

[Chilli D]

Worth remembering that Sunderland have 6 players at AFCON and Ballard was injured so it will probably be a very different 11 that lines up against us at ER.

Two promoted teams bringing back championship memories.

Both in a good place to stay up

Yes it is!! I felt that little Ivorian ba***rd was targeting Rodon. His primary matchup for the day. Especially the foul that ultimately took him out of the game. Can't believe that wasn't a red card for persistent infringement.

[1964white]

Hats off to Farke.

The likes of Stach, Struijk, Rodon, Ampadu, Gudmundsson, Perri, Aaronson & DCL have improved as the season has progressed.

Sunderland crossing the line with their challenges as usual; and Xhaka berating Rodon while he's on the ground in pain after that challenge by Adingra.

[Pullhard]

Farke didn’t look to bring Bornauw in when Joe got injured.
Looks like he is not even rated as 4th CB

Ballard being out was a huge plus for us.

Probably the best Sunderland player physically

[1964white]

Sunderland will be happy to pick up a point, as they were clearly second best.

[Clitheroe White]

Still can't believe our goal - incredible

It was an epic team goal

Tbf Rodin has been used almost as a wing back recently, the fastest player in euros qualifying I s**t you not faster than James apparently so bornauw simply can't play that marauding cb role. Better suited to replace struijk etc.

Can't see Wolves even getting 20 never mind 30.

Wolves might only just scrape past Derby's total. No chance they'll finish above us.

Problem is we were 7 above West Ham after we beat them, then they won back to back games and ended up above us. Still got a long way to go before we can be confident. I'd say 6 more wins for sure, but 5 may be enough.

Burnley & West Ham may double their current points tally, still under 30 though.
