Plenty for the coaches to go through 11:23 - Aug 7 with 1012 views | TalkingBlues | this week, both Sunderland and our boys, my days. No point trying to autopsy that I don't think, rollercoaster of a game, but we secured the 3 points, first day back, away to Sunderland, we just do take those results. COYB!!!! If I were to say one thing, it's that we still need another 2 or 3 bodies, attrition is going to be an even bigger factor than last season and I think we need a bit more quality to start/bring on, to impact a game, we were weakened by our subs yesterday and that's not desirable. |  |

I've said it a few times.. I doubt whether we'll face a better side and aggressive press than Sunderland showed. 3 points and lessons learnt for a tough task against Stoke. Need to make the atmosphere intimidating. |  |

I think they are bigger tests ahead. Watching the games yesterday all sides involved were brutal in their pressing. Its an exciting season ahead. There won't be any games where one side controls the game without the other being dangerous. |  |

I'm not sure if we have, or not? I think there'll be quite a few sore bodies after that, as you say, it was a high intensity game for the most part. Ironically, probably the worst injury was inflicted by Hladky on poor old JD. |  |

I hope JD says to hladky well done for that. You need the keeper to go through anyone when claiming a ball. |  |

Good point. Some injuries don’t come through till the following day. But Luongo and Broadhead didn’t pull up - which has to be positive The return of Clarke means Donacien is on bench |  |

Yep, you want the keeper to be commanding, but preferably hurting an opposition player, lol. |  |
