* The Unofficial "Official" "Wear-Tees Derby: Sunlun v Boro Match-Day Thread *

They’ve had the better chances, but mainly resulting from our mistakes. Think we got to grips with them fairly well and were reasonably comfortable for large periods, as an away side. They look like they are dangerous going forward but I feel we’ve got gears to go up.
 
Reminds me a little of the Blackburn first half this but without as much possession. They’re bypassing our midfield by trying to play down the channels and isolating the full backs, particularly Giles.

Sunderland do look dangerous in the final third. But they’re causing overloads and trying to get in behind. Our high line gives them the chance to do it on the break.

Interesting to see if Carrick tweaks anything second half. We need to impose ourselves on the game
 
Oh dear. Gazette have been bigging up Fry all week and discussing how he's never played at the SoL before. He won't remember it fondly now.
