Hope this Hong Kong trip we have just left for gets better for Wickham

The affects of Paolos new fitness regime are starting to show.

Well with the signing of Altidore I expect your numbers to grow soon on the boards in terms of Sunderland supporters, I know I will personally be keeping tabs on them and hoping they do well this season.

It was good to finally get a chance to see the new players in this Hong Kong trophy thing against spurs.

Conditions were atrocious with rain and the pitch being water logged.  But I was quite impressed with what I saw so far.

Jozy had a few good chances, probably should of scored a couple tbh.  Him and Cabral are absolute tanks.

The team looks much fitter.  I was quite impressed with Cabral and Giac.  This Swedish kid Karlsson did well also.

Wed Brown even did well after coming back from such a lengthy period out injured.

3-1 against spurs

When they open things up Sunderland look quite good, but they need to tidy things up in the back. Unfortunately, Di Canio is a bit schizophrenic with his tactics.

Either way, unfortunate not to at least get a point today.

Sunderland are just laughable at this point.

Poyet is a good hire and I hope that next week Sunderland show a lot of improvement. However, I think the final 8 minutes pretty much sums up what's wrong with Sunderland. Altidore comes on the pitch has an instant impact linking up play and holding up the ball, and no one makes a run behind for a laid off header into the box. An easy goal had anyone been within 20 yards of Altidore, but everyone was walking in the midfield. Just a lazy ass team...
