Good to see Roberts back but apart from him the subs bench is week as milky tea.

Before a ball has been kicked we have dropped down the league. Bristol beat Leicester in the lunchtime fixture.

We played very well, even Ba wasn't dreadful, and we (really) could have scored 8 or more 👍

safcREPORT: Cardiff City 0-2 Sunderland AFCCardiff City 0-2 Sunderland AFCSunderland kicked off the Easter weekend with a resounding victory against Cardiff City. Adil Aouchiche’s penalty and a poacher’s finish from Jobe was enough to send Mike Dodds’ side back with three points. Opportunity struck in the first ten minutes when the Lads seized upon a loose pass before Jobe was felled in the box. Aouchiche stepped up from 12 yards and slammed the ball high into the net to give the away side the lead. Ethan Horvath prevented the Lads from doubling their lead minutes later when a scrambled from a corner fell at the feet of Trai Hume but his effort was well held by the 'keeper. Dodds’ side maintained pressure when a cleared corner fell to Dan Neil who bent his effort just over the bar. The lead was doubled when Aouchiche turned provider and saw his low cross dispatched by Jobe at the back post for his seventh goal of the season. Into the second half and Neil kept his chase for a goal as he found space in the box but his bending effort flew just around the post. Nat Phillips' header from a Cardiff corner clipped the top of the bar before Abdoullah Ba bent his shot wide from the left. But the game belonged to the Lads as they saw out the result in the Welsh capital and ended Good Friday with three points. SAFC XI: Patterson; Hume, Ballard, O’Nien, Styles (Hjelde 70’); Neil, Ekwah; Rigg (Mundle 70’), Aouchiche (Luis Hemir 80’), Ba; Jobe Subs not used: Bishop, Pembele, Roberts, Burstow, Alese Cardiff City XI: Horvath, Goutas, Wintle, Ralls, O’Dowda, Phillips, Bowler (Meite 77’), Grant, Colwill (Ramsey 45’), Wilson-Esbrand (Diedhiou 45’), NG

No, Les . . . . on the box 👍
Onions was very good, and today showed how much we've missed him for the last couple of games 😉
