      In hindsight that was far more comfortable a win than it seemed when watching. Despite a bit of slackness in our play we were never really threatened, it was a pretty routine home win in all honesty.

      I really like the look of Wilson Isidor. He ran the channels well and seems to get himself into the right positions for a tap in. That’s something we’ve been desperately lacking.

      This squad is special also good to see Neil was much better today. Rigg and Jobe are monsters!

      We’re so negative away from home, only when it goes 2-0 do we ever actually attack, so draining to watch we just set up to lose.

      On a side note, never seen so many soft free kicks go in one teams direction, so one sided and he never gave the fouls the other way around. Made no impact on the game but it’s not a shock Sunderland have won their last 5 home games with him as the ref, such a sucker giving into the home crowd. But as well missed some really obvious yellow cards in both directions, absolutely honking.

      I see Warne’s football is just as shit as it was at Rotherham. I’d rather chew wasps than watch their football.

      Also, I know it’s a bit of a given in this league but that ref was absolutely terrible.

      Possibly the most routine win we will have all season. Derby came with one plan. Low block, counter, win set piece. When that didn’t work they never looked like breaking us down. First half took some growing into, jobe and mundle went close before a Jobe screamer, but we deserved to lead at HT. Second half more of the same, came out, scored the second and the game was over.

      Shout out to the ref as well who was absolutely useless. Blatant yellows not given, two for stopping a counter and one for blocking the keeper. Free kicks for 50 50’s but then none for fouls. Bloke lost the game inside 10 minutes

      Important win to get us back on track, and it’s great to be top of the table. If we can get a solid draw against Leeds I think it’ll be fair to start getting really really excited about this season.

      Watched the game in the background while packing up to go on holiday. Honestly? It just seemed dull and boring to watch. What a screamer from Jobe Bellingham though! That was easily the best part of the game, despite it not being in the Rams favour. It was just the only thing about the game that jumped out to me.

      I’m starting Isidor might be the striker we need. Can have a quiet game then pops up out of nowhere with a goal, doesn’t need many chances. Would rather he was starter then Mayenda understudy if we need an injection of energy

      Feel conflicted on Sunderland doing well and going for promotion, but on the other hand 6 points from the derbys will be nice!

      Thing is we’re happy now but we have a fuck ton of decent signings yet to play in the first team. Connelly, Milan Aleksic, Abdul Samed, Abdullahi. Add to that a few more who need fitness like Ballard and Poveda and we’re even seeing academy lads like Watson get a few mins. What we’ve seen so far pales in comparison to the potential we have in depth and raw talent. I hope this positivity continues all season.

      Looking good for Sunderland. They just have to get promotion to the big league this time
