Watching CP v Sunderland. Westwood isn't exactly filling me full of confidence, think I'd rather see Forde start Friday night.

Gosh, Sunderland stink. NBC has them on network TV vs all the opening college football games, and the US Open on CBS. Wonder what the ratings for that game will be? Too low to record perhaps.

Well with no games involving a top side at 3pm, they were left with either Sunderland (Altidore) or Everton (Howard) for American interest, and I guess Altidore is the US's next great hope for a world class player so lots of people would watch just for that. I wouldn't be surprised if you see a lot of Sunderland matches on US TV this year, especially if they snag Dempsey on loan in the winter.Originally Posted by Crosby87
WW made some good saves today but he was poor for the goal. He doesnt take command of his area and seems weak and short of confidence under set pieces and crosses - ironically its a criticism that often was leveled at Shay.
Wouldve prefered WW to Forde a year ago. But Forde's performances for us have been excellent. The very area WW is weak in, Forde has been superb. I see Forde played full game for Millwall today - would be my choice to start on Friday.
In the final 23, appears we only have Whelan, McCarthy and Green as 'typical' centre mids. Yes Wes is there as well but seems a little short.
Did we have any injuries today?

O'Shea suffered a bruised ego but should be alright.
This is from a few days ago but the durable Kallstrom is back for the Swedies. (in case anyone missed it.)

Lustig is definitely out.
Westwood doesn't look confident himself, although I wouldn't fault him for the goals. The first one got a nick to divert the ball at a very close distance and the third was a belter. He over dived the penalty but I can say from experience that that happens. He was gng to his left regardless and the ball went hard and low slightly left of centre. Really frustrating when that happens, it's happened to me. You just can't get the hands down quickly enough.
That said, Forde's calmness wins it for me a assuming he's properly sharp.
Is that a pun ?
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

MOTD highlights:
I think Sunderland will be in trouble this season. For some reason, I have this impression of Di Canio being a bit of a hot-headed buffoon...

Di Canio is a hot-headed buffoon...
And don't care who plays in nets. Neither is much better than the other. Ultimately our virtually total lack of creativity will be our undoing.
It'l be an absolute trainwreck and wickedly entertaining for anyone with a persuasion not of Sunderland A.F.C.
Even when they inevitably realise their horrific mistake, I hope TPTB over there stubbornly persist with him. Their blind optimism will continue to surrogate us a real life Fawlty Towers!
Good to see you feeling positive, Ardee.

I can envisage major fall-outs with players if he's going to engage in publicly questioning their ability and desire: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23915620
"Our leader didn't react in the way he should. That is terrible because it was a crucial game for us," said Di Canio.
"The penalty didn't come from a dangerous situation. It's absolutely poor and not acceptable.
"It was difficult to see this goal at this level. John O'Shea did something really wrong but he is an experienced footballer.
"It won't determine the outcome of our season but if we don't think every ball could be crucial, then it could be a problem."
...
"It is not just with John O'Shea, but with a few players and there is not the right desire," added the Italian. "I cannot change the heart of my players.
"We were on top for most of the game but three very pathetic goals that we conceded did not give us the chance to fight back."
Sunderland have signed 12 players this summer but Di Canio hinted there could be further additions to his squad before the transfer window closes at 23:00 BST on Monday.
"Now everybody can understand why we asked for a few players in areas of the field," he said.
He went even further than that in an interview with Talksport.
The guy is utterly tactless.“He is one of our best and experienced players, so I would rather he not come into the dressing room and say sorry because two games in a row is already too much," he raged.

Your a bundle of fun aren't you?
Relax we will win this game!
