Wasn't the prettiest game last night but another clean sheet and another win so can't really complain. Especially without our top scorer in the side. Doncaster play some quick and tidy stuff and would have scored a few if not for McLaughlin being a goalkeeping god in comparison to whatever it...

Port Vale away isn't too bad a draw. Somewhere I've never been, a big allocation and a game we SHOULD win.

Would like York away or some other lower league side in the north except Gateshead. We'll probably get a dull home tie against another League 1 side to scupper the BBCs plans to show whoever we play on TV. Or we'll draw Salford and the BBC will explode in excitement.

Our next 3 away games have sold out: Shrewsbury - 1,661 Doncaster - 3,931 Plymouth - 1,211 I won't be going to Shrewsbury but will be at the other 2. Have a mad dash after work for Doncaster on the Tuesday for what will be a massive game for both clubs aims to try and get out of this division...

From the Midland Road stand I was certain Cattermole's shot went wide so just stood there thinking what are the players doing!? Turns out it was a very smart finish from Maja. Come the 2nd half Bradford came at us and our full backs went missing, leaving half their team free at the back post to...

In the Midland Road stand apparently, next to our current section there. https://www.bradfordcityfc.co.uk/news/2018/october/sunderland-tickets/ They've all sold out now.

Been given an extra 300 tickets from Bradford for the game on Saturday, assuming we sell that in time it will bring our allocation up to 2,900ish.

10 games in and we've lost once so that's an alien prospect from the last 10+ years. We're not winning as much as we perhaps need to but that'll come with time as our new squad beds in... hopefully. We've got Peterborough and Doncaster coming up in our first "6 pointers" which will be a good...

Skipping the turgid first half though our game on Saturday was quite entertaining, had a bit of everything: 2 goalkeepers playing well, loads of injuries, Lee Cattermole scoring, some howlers, a goal line clearance, Newcastle fans in the home end, a good atmosphere at times from both sets of...

A 06:02 train from Newcastle to Birmingham New Street then into Coventry by around 10:45. We considered getting the train to the stadium but heard they were only 2 carriages and can get quite busy. What's the traffic usually like getting a taxi back to the station?

Early (well, earlier than usual) start for this one. We still haven't worked out how we're getting from the station to the stadium but that'll just be part of the adventure. Feel this one will probably follow the same pattern as all of our games so far. For the first 20 minutes we'll be poor...

The Rochdale result was the same old story of our season so far. Started slow and if not for a wayward finish from Wilbraham (I think) would have been 1-0 down again. Once we finally woke up we scored 3 goals in 8 minutes with Josh Maja continuing his scoring form and Chris Maguire continuing...

Having a quick look at the records our first and so far only encounter was in the EFL Trophy this time 2 years ago. It was our academy side with our now captain and now top scorer playing alongside Jan Kirchoff and Jason Denayer. Funny how quick things change.

Rochdale at home at the weekend, we haven't won for a while (unless you count the Checkatrade Trophy heroic penalty shootout against Stoke U-21s) or performed well for even longer so a few questions are starting to be raised. Charlie Wyke confirmed to be out for 6-8 weeks following an injury to...

I'd expect the majority of fans going to Coventry (myself included) are ambivalent towards Coventry City the football club as they have been in our past visits. It's really just the old fellas on our forum/twitter that try and keep it alive and mention it ad nauseum. Still though, nice to have a...

1,671 Sunderland at Burton

Been the story of our season so far, think we've only looked like 'automatic promotion material' once this season and that even that was after the referee waved away a stonewall penalty. The main problem (other than we can't defend set pieces) is our midfield is tremendously slow and can't...

The fans have volunteered to change the pink seats at the SoL, an act that may belong in this thread by itself but some of the players have been doing it as well for a bit of nice PR... except this fella didn't know who Luke O'Nien was.

Burton away on Saturday, we've not played well for a while now but continue to grind out results so it'll probably be another draw. For anyone who fancies a bet our games appear to go the same way every time; concede early, equalise not long after and probably give away a penalty at some point.

1,280 Oxford yesterday, made a good account of themselves. Even sang "you're not famous anymore" which was a great ego boost, didn't know we were famous anyway. Except for the whole Adam Johnson and being dreadful the last 10 years thing, it would be great if we were no longer famous for that.
