Re the above mention of a friendly sweetener - id hope it would be in Sunderland - the pre season friendly with Sheffield Wednesday was a great day out, so lets hope its at the stadium of light.
We have probably lost 2 of our best 3 players with Davis and Morgan going, now the manager - I wonder if Jack is likely to come in for McGennis or perhaps Cammy Smith, both who you would think would do a good job in that division with the potential to play at a higher level.
