This team man absolutely tremendous Jobe roberts mundle rigg Isador Momentum could take us right to the top 6 of the prem next season if these players stay. Defensively tremendous too and so good to see O’nein smashing it.
It's a long season, just focus on getting automatic promotion before dreaming of even staying up in the PL, let alone a top half finish or top 6. I want Sunderland back in the PL but there's a long way to go.
I was expecting a tougher game from Oxford, they have been doing quit well so far in there first championship season for 25 years. The last time Sunderland beat Oxford in the championship we won the championship, could history repeat itself?
Oxford looked completely tired out … we have a lot of injuries and a worryingly weak squad. Saying that Sunderland looked very good ,, a level above anything we have seen so far. There is also no reason to be playing in purple … Yellow and Blue every time
Sunderland also had at least 3 first team players injured, one of them a top player who has played in the champion league recently, Samed, he is yet to make his debut.
