    Levitt and Vennings not ready for this level!! 
    I thought Vennings did well for 20 minutes or so but faded. Being charitable two games in a week at this level as an inexperienced, physically small player may be too much at this stage of his development.
  • Second half begins with more dynamism in the first 30 seconds than in most of the first half.

    How do we make it look so difficult to get anywhere near the opponent's final third. Sunderland can play simple passes, no quality required, and quickly they're in a position to cross, or have runners going into the box for a quick pass... We make it look like we're playing in treacle to even get out of our own half. It is dreadful and it's been like this for ages.
    We’ve slowly morphed into the kind of team we were under Robinson. Far too much slow and sideways/backwards passing. At our best under Bowyer we’ve always had a change in pace in attack. Right now we are very very pedestrian, both of foot and thinking.

    47' Alfie Doughty lets fly from distance, but it's over the bar.

    I see we've swapped our balding midgets.

    HALF-TIME SUB | Jonny Williams replaces Erhun Oztumer at the break.
    Oh thank god, just what we needed, someone to fall over.
  • Better from Doughty so far this half

    Washington tracks back and nicks the ball, but it runs away for a throw.

    Attempt missed. Josh Scowen (Sunderland) right footed shot from outside the box.

  • Glad I didn’t tune in the first half. You can thank me if we play like superstars this half.

    They’ll be confused if they’re watching our left back today

    Washington gets done for jumping into Leadbitter, but the freekick is utterly wasted as it goes out for our goalkick

    Dillon Phillips who? 
    Nothing. That’s his full name.

    Good work from Washington up by the corner flag but the ball gets deflected off Vennings for a Sunderland goalkick

    Am I right in saying, we have three players in the pitch that played at Wembley. Many on the Sunderland side?
