Bolton 6-0 SAFC

The Situation

Striker
One of the darkest days in the history of the club, yet only 1 year ago this week.

Within 12 months we've gone from that, to 1 point off the playoffs and 3 points off 3rd place in the Championship after 28 games, reducing the average age of the squad with what seems like every signing, and playing some of the best football in the division.

It's no mean feat. The days of clubs going straight from L1 to challenging for promotion are long gone and the highest any promoted L1 side has finished in the last 4 season was last year's Blackpool in 16th.

If anyone still doubts the credentials of Speakman and co, that should be all the evidence you need to realise he is doing a fantastic job.

Horrible day. Sunderland fans arguing and fighting amongst themselves, and getting absolutely humiliated. It's been some turnaround for sure.
 
mad how the team isn't even that much different

  • 39 Hoffmann
  • 15 Winchester
  • 5 Batth
  • 6 Doyle Booked at 78mins
  • 17 Cirkin Substituted for Pritchard at 53'minutes
  • 4 Evans
  • 24 Neil Substituted for Clarke at 53'minutes
  • 7 Dajaku Substituted for Roberts at 66'minutes
  • 8 Embleton
  • 1 Gooch Booked at 81mins
  • 14 Stewart
11 of the 14 regularly start for us this season when fit. other than dejaku, the other 10 all makes claims to still be in our best 11.

O'nien and Trai Hume on the bench too.

plus, i think this was the game that brought Patterson to the first team

We've only really added Diallo, Ballard and Alese into the mix as names in the first 11

funny old game
