Roker Rapport

Gav and Chris were joined by Paul Mort - massive Lads fan, author & host of the ‘Paul Mort Talks Shit’ Podcast - to review Sunderland’s entertaining 0-0 draw at the SoL against Preston - and to look ahead to the Blackpool game! What’s the crack? Well, despite the result it’s fair to say we were all entertained by the performance of the Sunderland players... right? Sunderland had 16 shots, but only two were on target - does that highlight the lack of a striker up top, or is it more complicated than that? Were Preston just like almost every League One side that came to the SoL last season, or is that harsh given they had some good chances? The Lads get rather excited about the potential of our young hopefuls; What did we make of Mowbray’s decision to make attacking subs? What wasn’t so good? Aji Alese was class again, as were Batth and O’Nien - which highlights that it might be a struggle for some good players to break back into the side; Will we beat Blackpool? This and much more - Ha’way the Lad
