No doubt hes forcing it. Last season his free kicks and corners were great. You dont lose it, you're not utilised right.

His lack of touch (which Im not sure of as so much has so far come behind him) might be mitigated by him getting the ball into his path

He needs to catch up to us as well. Love the way he plays but at present he's Shola like in lack of desire to hit the required spots when we break wide.

Was the player they played the ball to picked up by one of the back 4 or was our defender out numbered ?

You mean Murphy after a few years of Eddie ? Remember we couldn't get rid of Murphy a while back and I'd say Elanga has a higher starting point.

Look at where he was good. It was with a target man, Gordon is suffering for this as well. We are disjointed up front at the minute, Woltemade isn't your usual through the middle striker. Its gonna take time and the sooner Wissa comes in the better.

Could easily see us going 442 at points this season.

Got to do both.

We dont have a target for them. Wissa has to play CF when he gets back to playing. The issue then is how to play Wolt, with him or behind him or instead of.

To be fair he doesnt seem to play for that "drive into the box for the quick ball across as our wide man has broke in behind" yet.

Loved "Closest thing to heaven". And using the link of David Brewis's, are we classing Field Music as Mackems as I like their stuff as well.

Top of the league as it stands. Are UEFA loving this or hating it ?

I was wrong as well as I'd add Gateshead in there as well.

Do we need a fan zone ? Isn't the entire city centre one ?

Beat me to it.

Unknown to me. Below my age group I guess.

A couple of years below me at school but we played a bit on The Gala field. Nice lad, no Billy big bollocks about him.

Free as in "all right now" ? Aaaaanyway, always liked The Futureheads.

Well they're stewards had the attitude they were dealing with away fans so it mightened have been to much of a stretch.

Uefa should have banned the Macaabi fans after what happened in The Netherlands. However history was rewritten

fwiw Sunderland uni will no longer hold their graduation ceremonies at Sunderland AFC due to the fees demanded by the football club (£30 per head in 2025).

They are and aren't . "Oooh that's good I want a keepy of that" type thing.

I don't think its wingers as much as roles. Players who can go wide but happy to spend as much time inside if the forward drops deep, playing in the gap. With Woltemade we are moving more to role than position.

I'm a mix, stream music and and film/tv (but have DVD's when its been cheaper) but reading material has to be paper.

Isak player manager.
