    Match Thread Watford (h)

    Was nervous for Boro especially after the Gus sale and we won comfortably. Expected to get well beaten at Leicester and felt we should have at least drawn the way we played (might have been our best effort performance wise to date). Hoped for a draw against bogey Swansea before the match and was...

    Liam Kitching

    What Fadz does that I wish the others did is put his body on the line to block shots. He is a great communicator and really organizes things at the back as others have suggested. Also you can always count on him to chip in a few goals a season which is a big plus. He’s become a better player in...

    Think there was interest in McNally early in the window. Swift late in the window. Rumours about Styles, Yates

    Long throws

    If I recall, we scored as a result of some long throws by McCallum during the first season back in the Championship. I don't see any harm in using it as a weapon if it means we can nick a goal. Doesn't always have to be beautiful does it?

    We don't create enough

    Good comments all. Think going one up top like we did last season is maybe worth considering despite the fact we have 2 multimillion pound strikers. Service to the final third is missing and we might have to fill the void left by Gus with 2 midfield players. This will help win back possession as...

    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    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...

    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    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...

    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.
