Sunderland

Nice to see someone going around the back for a corner.
So....3 goals from set-pieces! (Plus 5 well-taken penalties). Somebody is doing an excellent job coaching them. Wonder when we'll score from open play? Hopefully a couple of times on Saturday🙂

Early days yet, but an encouraging start to the season. Forgetting the penalties for a moment, all our goals have come from defenders. That is not a criticism, more of an observation. In previous seasons we have been at our best when goals have come from all across the team so this is a promising start. My usual starting point for judgement is ten or so games in. Sunderland didn't field their first choice players last night but it must also be remembered that we had a very young and inexperienced side out so that is a very good result for the lads.
