Di Canio needs to heal Sunderland's scars from previous season

The case for Connor Wickham

DESPERATION is in the air at the Stadium of Light.

Back to the bread and butter – at last

10:00am Friday 14th October 2011

Thankfully, another international break weekend is over and we can get back to some proper football, or as close to proper football as Sunderland AFC can play anyway. At least normality will be resumed anyway.

Changes at the top testament to Quinn's success

Sitting watching Shane Long waltz through the Sunderland defence unopposed to fire West Bromwich Albion into an early two goal lead last week, I can't have been alone in believing that a change in the leadership of the club was surely imminent.

It’s time to face up to reality

BEFORE I get down to business here, let me make a couple of things clear. None of this is borne out of a knee-jerk reaction, I am not a doom-monger, and I don't enjoy Sunderland AFC doing poorly.
