Sunderland news: Fan views on season after Real Betis defeat

We asked for your feelings about the upcoming season after Sunderland lost 1-0 to Real Betis in a pre-season friendly at the Stadium of Light on Saturday.

New signing Granit Xhaka impressed but the Black Cats recorded their fourth defeat in six pre-season games.

Here are some of your comments:

Bob: Pleased with the passing, bit of a weakness on the left side in defence and oh how we need a striker.

Rusty: I don’t know. I just don’t know…if I knew I’d be walking away with the winning lottery numbers every week. I’m half hope and half trepidation – is this normal for a promoted side? Hang on, this isn’t that promoted side that got us up with blood, sweat and tears – it’s an almost entirely brand new team! So, it’s going to come down to coaching plans, strategies, getting these strangers to gel ASAP, understand each other and keep us in this division. Can we do a Leicester? Who knows? It’s been done before and any new side can take the regulars by surprise sometimes. Can we compete and survive or fight and fail? Right now it’s all just hoping. I’ve wanted us to at least thrash one side and have an exciting attacking style but it’s been workmanlike (boring) in pre-season and I just don’t know. Ask the question at Christmas.
