I’m BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!

By: Stephen | September 6th, 2009

I know, you guys were having your Black Cat’s withdrawl, and now that my internet is back at the new place, I can update you on the happenings at the Stadium of Light.

Game Results

League Cup

Sunderland 4-1 over Norwich Shiity err City

With any match report I only report the Black Cats who score, because if you want to know about the other team, read their blog. (I’m greedy).

Teeemu, Andy Reid (two goals)

Reaction from Black Cats Boss Steve Bruce

“Andy Reid’s done extremely well with his fitness and conditioning – he’s come back and lost something like nine kilos from last year. All he can do is play like that and he’s posed a few questions.

“That’s the nice part of management, when you’ve got people knocking on the door, so we’ll see what happens.

“It was the first time I’ve seen Craig Gordon live and he made two or three wonderful saves. We were comfortable but the goalkeeper’s had to make a couple of really important saves.”

I almost don’t want to report on the next match we’ve played because it wasn’t a win, and it wasn’t against Stoke. And then bug me to no end, they’re just so boring. But we lost 1-0 and that stinks.

Reaction from Black Cat Boss Steve Bruce

“Our Achilles heel was to defending corner kicks.

“Bolton, Blackburn and now Stoke have asked the questions and three out of five goals we’ve conceded have been from set pieces.

“We were more spirited in the second half but couldn’t deliver that final ball into the box.”

    steve bruce is spot on
    corner pieces are indeed sunderland Achilles hell
    i was surprised at their win at bolton esp given their second half performance
    n i would mark the 3 pts from blackburn as lucky as it could easily have been only 1 but still i will take nothing from the squad n what steve bruce is trying to do

    mark my word-sunderland has made more changes in term of quality than city-i hope they break into europa(7th is a good target) this year

    anyway i just heard cana is the new skipper
