Roker Rapport Podcast

No we did not in fact go all out as suggested and lost to a pretty determined Hull City after Patto had.. a moment.. resulting in our first loss in the league at home this season, and likely the end to any hope of automatics without assistance from the rest of the division.

We'll be playing Hull in about 24 hours so jump in with our Gav and Martin to hear them repeatedly tell Regis Le Bris to just go for it. Over and over again aye. What's the crack? #EFL #EFLChampionship #SAFC Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Argh did we have to? We didn't want to. The Lads tried their best to pull themselves together following a heartbreaking end to the game at Elland Road, chatting all about how close Sunderland were to getting a very good result against Leeds… What's the crack? #SAFC #EFL #EFLChampionship Hosted on Acast.

Join Gav and Chris as they look back at a professional performance from Sunderland at the SoL against Luton and look forward to an exciting yet daunting trip to Elland Road to take on Leeds United! What's the crack? All this and more! Ha'way the Lads! #SAFC #EFL #EFLChampionship Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Gav returns with Martin to quickly preview the Hatters visit to the Stadium of Light on Wednesday night, trying to work out what Regis Le Bris should be looking to do to ensure all three points!

Gav Henderson and Chris Wynn return to react to either another failure to get all three points at home or a successful defence of our home record, depending if your glass is half empty or full. What's the crack? #SAFC #EFL #EFLChampionship *Rogue missing content from Boro/covering the transfer window will appear after a little bit of surgery. Let's call it damage limitation aye. Not so much 'ghosts in the machine' as 'poltergeists down the pub'. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

So here we are again, waiting for a game one of us cares about more than the other and trying to explain what it is about Sunderland facing Boro that makes it less a derby and more an annoyance. Like Coventry with Parmos? What's the crack? Gerrin Wilson marra! Falling in love with a loan player has rarely ended so well. Ha'way the Lads! #SAFC #EFL #EFLChampionship Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

If you don't fancy listening to our Chris Wynn detailing his frustrations with our last fixture while our Gavin Henderson tries to look back without anger, you can skip straight to the next one. Just saying aye. What's the crack? #SAFC #EFL #EFLChampionship Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

So where were we? Oh aye that was it, Gav and Martin return after our win over Derby County and yet another injustice for our boy Wilson, this time at the hands of a mystery match official. They even squeeze a few minutes in about our upcoming fixture against Plymouth on Saturday! What's the crack? #EFL #EFLChampionship #SAFC Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A slightly abridged version of the missing reaction to Burnley here if anyone is desperate to hear Gav and Martin defend our Wilson Isidor and.. praise Wilson Isidor and.. mention at least one other player following that decent point away last weekend.

Big game coming up lads and lasses. It's absolutely massive, git huge, humongous actually but... it's not a must win; it's a 'be really nice to win this hew' type match aye. Gav and Chris explain all this and give their thoughts on Connolly leaving SAFC - and Tom Cannon possibly coming in - as they look ahead to Burnley away live on Sky under the Friday night lights.

So it turns out Reg didn't really give a shit, and neither would we if we hadn't gone and lost Aji Alese to injury. So what positives can Gav and Chris take from that forgettable fixture? What's the crack? #EFL #EFLChampionship #SAFC Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Aye we've been gone a month, it's complicated. Back to business though, our Gav and Chris return just in time to welcome and chat about Enzo Le (pretty hefty) Fee as he undergoes his medical at the club to reunite with former boss Regis Le Bris, as well as look back on some FA Cup third round excitement of ye olde days and try not to talk about the really important test against Burnley after this break from league action against Stoke City.

Let's be honest it could've easily been 5 or 6 for young Tommy Watson but our Jack Clarke regen decided to let Stoke off a little bit on Saturday by scoring just the two of his first senior goals for the club. Maybe he's saving some for our visitors on Tuesday night? What's the crack? linkRoker Report #EFL #SAFC #EFLChampionship #SoupKitchen24 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Well, it's been a bit of a week - you don't know the half of it - but it's not all doom and gloom as the Lads look almost optimistically ahead to the visit of Stoke to Sunderland following a disappointing but promising performance at Bramall Lane.

Join Gav and Chris as they got together on the full time whistle after a long old game to try and dissect another Sunderland draw at Millwall - where do things stand as we head into the West Brom game on Tuesday?

Aye after a short but some might say blessed period where their editor lost his hearing and everyone lost their shit (it was peaceful my end at least) the lads returned to talk about how much they hate these breaks, before sort of contradicting themselves a bit whilst trying to look back on the last few fixtures with a little bit of perspective and of course ahead to December. What's the crack? Club before country - Have we mentioned how much we hate not just international breaks, but international fixtures? Aye that hasn't changed at all. Safe to say reaction not just to Coventry, which the lads discuss a fair bit here, but just to the last few draws has cast a bit of a shadow on our achievements so far; Are Gav and Chris as concerned? Does this say more about the rising expectations that come with our position in the league? The Coventry draw was definitely a situation where two points were lost, but is it a sign of anything significant besides just being a bit too relaxed coming back out and a few slices of luck for them in that second half? Injuries - Apparently Romaine Mundle is looking at a while out and Browne won't be available for a little while either so which players would be looking to take advantage of this? Ahead of Millwall and the puzzle presented to Regis Le Bris given Jobe Bellingham, Trai Hume and Patrick Roberts are suspended.. what are we expecting Regis to do? Will he actually look at a different formation and setup? Would he consider a switch to three at the back? Luckily it's not up to us like… All this and more! Ha'way the Lads! #SAFC #EFL #EFLChampionship Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Lads ground a point away from home against a physical but ultimately toothless QPR as we saw Jobe Bellingham given a straight red and Sunderland fail to score for the first time this season!

Our Gav and Martin return to talk all about the win over Oxford and what the last three wins might mean for the club, look at our match tomorrow against QPR at Loftus Road and basically just... praise these lads. Endless praise aye. What's the crack? #SAFC #EFLChampionship #EFL #SkyBetChampionship Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
