Roker Rapport

Our Gav and Martin were joined yesterday by our old marra Tom White from Sky Sports News - and anywhere the Lads happen to be playing - to break down Sunderland's away victory over Stoke City and look at our activity in the transfer window! What's the crack?  Alex Neil has got us off to a cracking start; what has Tom made of our return to Championship action?  The SAS - Ross Stewart and Ellis Simms are relentless; are these lads the most potent attacking partnership in the EFL?  Dennis Cirkin is bossing it; the young lad is improving at a ridiculous pace, so safe to say the 'step up' was pretty easy for him?  Lynden Gooch has had a great couple games with the Captain's armband - giving everything he's got to get the job done - nice to see isn't it?    Transfer Talk; does Tom have any snippets of information he can reveal to us about Sunderland's recruitment plans for the coming weeks? What has he made of the business so far?  Jan Paul van H
