Ex-Sunderland boss on relationship with Sir Gareth Southgate β€” and how he nearly took SAFC job @rokerreportsafc.bsky.social // #SAFC www.sbnation.com/e/24152220

π—£π—Ÿπ—”π—¬π—˜π—₯ π—₯π—”π—§π—œπ—‘π—šπ—¦ Two goals from 17-year-old Armenian powerhouse Finn Geragusian and one from Harrison Jones ensured Sunderland U21s took all three points off Leeds U21s. Here’s how I rated the lads... @rokerreportsafc.bsky.social // #SAFC www.sbnation.com/e/24152076

That looked like a performance from a team who have accepted they will be in the play offs and are just going through the motions. That's a terrible attitude to have though, need to play our way into form and not coast through games without putting any effort in.

π—£π—Ÿπ—”π—¬π—˜π—₯ π—₯π—”π—§π—œπ—‘π—šπ—¦ Sunderland were appalling, battered by Coventry as a Haji Wright hattrick ensured we left the midlands empty-handed. Here’s how I rated the lads... @rokerreportsafc.bsky.social // #SAFC www.sbnation.com/e/24150495

π—£π—Ÿπ—”π—¬π—˜π—₯ π—₯π—”π—§π—œπ—‘π—šπ—¦ Romaine Mundle’s late screamer handed Sunderland a point against the biggest timewasters to have visited the Stadium of Light this season. Here’s how I rated the Lads! @rokerreportsafc.bsky.social // #SAFC www.sbnation.com/e/24147627

We were so flat for a lot of that game, thankfully Preston's cheating antics woke us up eventually. I don't think we'll be seeing 442 much in the future, we looked lost with huge gaps everywhere and only really got to grips with the game after we reverted back to the norm.

π—£π—Ÿπ—”π—¬π—˜π—₯ π—₯π—”π—§π—œπ—‘π—šπ—¦ The Lads scored another three points, this time against relegation-threatened Cardiff City, with Eliezer Mayenda continuing his fine scoring form. Here’s how I rated the lads... @rokerreportsafc.bsky.social // #SAFC www.sbnation.com/e/24144690

Our game management was much better once we went ahead the second time today and bringing on Cirkin and Isidor earlier than usual helped a lot. Still an issue with us being overly cautious at times against teams that don't warrant that approach but a good three points in the end.

π—£π—Ÿπ—”π—¬π—˜π—₯ π—₯π—”π—§π—œπ—‘π—šπ—¦ Eliezer Mayenda repaid the faith shown in him by Regis Le Bris to bag twice and hand a much-needed three points to Sunderland at Hillsborough. Here’s how I rated the lads... @rokerreportsafc.bsky.social // #SAFC www.sbnation.com/e/24139092

Not a great display but it was important to get the three points after the last week or so, battled well all game and managed the game better once we scored the second. Not entirely out of it for the autos but hopefully we can keep those above us honest and keep ticking along.

π—£π—Ÿπ—”π—¬π—˜π—₯ π—₯π—”π—§π—œπ—‘π—šπ—¦ A howler from Anthony Patterson and a pretty uninspired Sunderland performance consigned the Lads to their first home defeat of the season. Here’s how I rated the lads. @rokerreportsafc.bsky.social // #SAFC www.sbnation.com/e/24134511

Dreadful game and didn't deserve anything from it. Playing a relegation battler at home, we play with the handbrake on and let them play themselves into the game, shocking stuff for a team who are supposedly aiming for promotion. You wouldn't think it was must win after Monday.

π—£π—Ÿπ—”π—¬π—˜π—₯ π—₯π—”π—§π—œπ—‘π—šπ—¦ Two Pascal Struijk headers cancelled out Wilson Isidor’s opener in the most cruel fashion as Sunderland lost it right at the death against Leeds United. Here’s how I rated the Lads! @rokerreportsafc.bsky.social // #SAFC www.sbnation.com/e/24131426

Can't be giving away that many set pieces around the box, no matter who you're playing, it's bound to bite eventually. Defended well, the shape was good but we didn't counter attack anywhere near enough and invited them onto us. Not over for the autos but got to be ruthess now.

π—£π—Ÿπ—”π—¬π—˜π—₯ π—₯π—”π—§π—œπ—‘π—šπ—¦ Sunderland comfortably dominated the game against lowly Luton, with Enzo Le Fee and Wilson Isidor bagging the goals. Here’s how I rated the Lads! @rokerreportsafc.bsky.social // #SAFC www.sbnation.com/e/24128404

That was a very comfortable display, completely dominated from start to finish and never gave Luton a chance to get back into it. Still played with the handbrake on for long spells and could do with getting a better balance in that regard but a good three points.

π—£π—Ÿπ—”π—¬π—˜π—₯ π—₯π—”π—§π—œπ—‘π—šπ—¦ Ahmed Abdullahi scored a hat-trick and Alan Browne returned from injury as the u21s hit seven, here’s how I rated the lads! @rokerreportsafc.bsky.social // #SAFC www.sbnation.com/e/24127612

π—£π—Ÿπ—”π—¬π—˜π—₯ π—₯π—”π—§π—œπ—‘π—šπ—¦ Sunderland cling on to their unbeaten home record after Dennis Cirkin scored a late equaliser β€” but we should have got a winner. Here’s how I rated the Lads. #SAFC www.sbnation.com/e/24125550

Far too passive for long stretches of the game, once we scored quite early we should have been piling the pressure on to force an out of form team's heads to drop but we just ceded possession and allowed them to play there way back into it. Great fighting spirit again, at least.

π—£π—Ÿπ—”π—¬π—˜π—₯ π—₯π—”π—§π—œπ—‘π—šπ—¦ Summer signing Ahmed Abdullahi notched his first goal in Sunderland colours and Jenson Seelt played a full 90 minutes as our U21s battered Wolves at the AoL. Here’s how I rated the Lads! @rokerreportsafc.bsky.social // #SAFC www.sbnation.com/e/24124898

π—£π—Ÿπ—”π—¬π—˜π—₯ π—₯π—”π—§π—œπ—‘π—šπ—¦ GET IN THERE! Sunderland earned a massively important three points on the road with a hard fought, nervy win in the land of smog. Here’s how I rated the Lads! @RokerReport // #SAFC www.sbnation.com/e/24122043

Brilliant performance after the opening 25-30 minutes, fully deserved that win and it would have been far more comfortable without Jobe's brainfart gifting them an equaliser. Just need to get Le Fee inside, with a fit left winger in the team and we'll be cooking.

Marcus Edwards only wants a move to England, with Sunderland the latest club to show interest in the winger. #SAFC www.record.pt/futebol/fute...

'Both Sunderland and Burnley have sought to understand the conditions for a possible deal for Marcus Edwards with the first of the two British clubs mentioned being the one that has held the most exploratory talks for the player.' #SAFC www.record.pt/mercado/deta...

'St Gallen want to keep William Guebbels and only an outrageously high offer could tempt them but that amount has been reached with the rumoured offers, very possible the player moves during this window.' #SAFC www.4-4-2.com/super-league...

π—£π—Ÿπ—”π—¬π—˜π—₯ π—₯π—”π—§π—œπ—‘π—šπ—¦ Sunderland chucked away a much-needed three points in a poor performance at home against Plymouth. Here’s how I rated the Lads! @rokerreportsafc.bsky.social // #SAFC www.sbnation.com/e/24115695

Thought we were poor today, just never played with enough pace and made it easy for Plymouth to defend and then the game management at the end was horrific. Absolutely no need to put so many defenders on and have us sit so deep, should have been playing keep ball.

We were in second gear for a lot of that game but had to work harder than needed for a bunch of that second half, managed to get it back under control and it would have been a lot more comfortable if the referee hadn't decided to disallow a goal for a laugh. Le Fee is quality.

It felt like a loss, but shouldn't. There's much to be happy with. The tactical change that stopped Burnley's onslaught. Why Jobe is THE powerhouse of the League & how Sunderland dominated the 2nd half. #SAFC YouTube - youtu.be/0Ff0EhOzyMQ Patreon - www.patreon.com/c/SAFChighli...
