2-0. Same issues we’ve seen defensively. Way too easy to come forward.

1-0, great finish. Poor defending again, Cashin miles out of position, goes in behind him and neither Elder nor Ebou cut it out.

We’ve got round the sides several times and just not clinical enough with the final ball or shot. Given it away cheaply a few times, Wilson and Thompson particularly not in the game whatsoever. Their front three doing a good job of dropping 10 yards off the last man behind our midfield and receiving it in acres and we don’t know whether to get tight or not.

We look pretty poor out of possession. They’re not finding it difficult recycling possession and finding players in space.

Being broken on multiple times when losing it high up, although we do look dangerous. Cashin a little in treacle so far.

Kenzo bailed out Sonny hospital ball by beautifully rolling the man pressuring. Now just tracked back, won the ball and the free kick from Cashin giving the ball straight to them. I’m sold.

You'd like to think we do have some assurances in some form or fashion

I'd imagine it isn't insignificant. But it also sounds like they have submitted a squad list to UEFA so it isn't as easy as just replacing.

Kenzo probably a more similar player, I would say.

Could be worth a thread at some point by the end of the window, but we've heard pretty much since Warne joined about how he likes his teams to play. He's always talked about athleticism, pace, pressing and alike. The recruitment so far absolutely epitomises that, and I believe he said something about it being "his team" with this transfer window. We've signed a lot pace, and we're no longer going to be an athleticism disadvantage in every game we play as it seemingly has been since Admin. The ground these two will cover will be incredible.

Talks about the Paul Warne pull 😬

You think? Ozoh having used to play in forward positions seems like he's probably a little more capable at doing more than Ebou. Them two together would be a treat.

Definitely sounds like he's leaving to me! "I have nothing more to add than what has already been said, he says."

Now 30 and certainly would fly in the face of both the wage structure we now have and, depending on who you ask, the good dressing room types Warne likes.

Blackburn have done very little, and will lose Szmodics sooner rather than later. What on earth is going on at Hull should be concerning too. Lost 63 of the 68 goals they scored last season through player sales, and the only signing they've made is a full back yesterday.

There's pics all over twitter of him posing in a Sunderland shirt, just like ours for David Ozoh. Expect him to be announced shortly.

Huge club, but as you said, they've been in trouble. Middle of the pack in the Bundesliga 2 last year, so no reason he wouldn't leave.

On loan at Buston. Scored twice last night vs. Posh.

I am just envious. I thought you, of all people, with Clooney as your pic might appreciate him.

It's pretty bad, openly racist tweets with no repercussions. Andrew Tate tweeted someone the N word with the hard R the other day, for example. My feed is full of fake news blue check mark stuff, all pro Trump, anti-Harris, Elon Musk tweets which are, unsurprisingly, pro Trump. Which is just daft as a supposed impartial algorithm when I've never looked at his profile, I am anti-Trump etc. Call me a conspiracy theorist, I don't really care, but this platform is 100x worse for disinformation and bias than it was pre-Elon.

JWZ chant will be Right Said Fred - I'm Too Sexy He's too sexy for his hat, too sexy for his hat...

I get what you’re saying, but you’re really just doing the opposite. He’s tall, so therefore he’s just like this other player who’s tall. Fact is, those that have seen him play characterise him as good from crosses and a good shot stopper.

He’s better than you, and you know it.

Joe Ward back in full training according to himself on Instagram.

Can you imagine the pace and athleticism in that midfield?
