*It was, if nothing else, another resilient effort, and a good indication that
*The one big negative of the game, though, was the loss of Cam York with an injury. Immediately we went a bit panic mode around here and fell down the rabbit hole of who might replace him if he’s set to miss time. [ BSH ]

What a special team we have right now. In years gone by, a Sunderland side falling two goals behind at home to two eminently avoidable goals – on the back of a poor defeat away from home – would slump to another disappointing loss or worse crumble entirely to humiliation.
