We'd better get a good result this afternoon because the sporting fixtures have been shit so far today with West Coast losing by a point to Collingwood in the AFL Elimination Final and Norwich losing to a very late Wayne Rooney goal just now (and also missed a pen when Pukki slipped as he was about to strike the ball).
Come on you rip-roaring, goal-scoring Addicks, give me something to be cheerful about.
O ye of little faith. Today will be one of those days where the stars align and everything will go right on the pitch, condemning you doubters to hanging your heads for the rest of the day.
It'll have to be an Oztumer match, otherwise he'll rarely start after this month. I hope it is, as apart from Maddison we lack potential goals in midfield.
is at The Valley for the first time officially as Addicks owner this afternoon and he will feature LIVE on commentary during the broadcast on Valley Pass
Back 4 looks ok. Everything in front of that looks pretty weak though. This is Sunderland though, not Real Madrid and we’ve had spells where we’ve dominated all 3 league matches so far - just need to find a way to score first.
I know we're in 'transition' but we do need to pick up points where we can. Otherwise we're gonna be facing a mountain to climb come mid season. Hope the boys can pull together for this one.
Oz, Vennings and Levitt are not exactly bite yer legs players. Mind you Vennings does have a bit of a temper on him. Takes a nice penalty. Right now the Vennings stuff is a bit of a mystery to me. Got to hope for incisive passes to Doherty from Levitt and he can capitalise. The Sunderland team looks strong.
This is essentially Bowyer ball. We don't shoot a lot but the chances we do have are very clear cut opportunities. It's also why the "Bonne had X% shot conversion rate and that's impressive" stats are rubbish. His conversion rate was 'high' in comparison to others because our chance quality is high. When you factor in the quality of the chances, his conversion rate was bad.

This is going to be a very hard match.
SISS.
Oztumer and Vennings and why no Davidson on the bench?

Might be just resting him up this week what with Aneke coming back as an option
