Bristol City vs Sunderland. Sky Bet Championship. 3:00pm, Saturday 6th August 2022. Ashton Gate.

We now have two lads up top, who we can play the ball up to and both have goals in them. Bristol had some good spells in the first half, but we were really dangerous even then and deserved to win. We got done by a one-two and then didn't cover the space in the middle quickly enough. The big thing, though, is our defensive frailty and that is a problem we have to solve." For some reason we tried to play offside and conceded as a result. We signed him to push Ross, but also to play alongside him and give us a different dynamic, which was there for all to see. We have dominated possession, but not been able to do enough with it. Although we had enough chances to take something, we can have no complaints. The goals we let in were really poor. We had the chance to show a big crowd what we are about and didn't take it. City lost midfielder Matty James to an injury in the warm-up. "To score twice at home and not take anything from the game is disappointing.

Bristol City and Sunderland meet for the first time since their dramatic six-goal thriller at Ashton Gate.

From a City perspective, Johnson took the blame and put it down to the tactical decisions he made. Sunderland fans damaged the camera of one of the camera operators with a broken lens at the end of the match. It’s been four years since Bristol City and Sunderland faced one another and the last meeting was certainly a cracker, so much so it featured on a popular documentary.

Sunderland have been gifted an injury boost involving Leon Dajaku before their game away at Bristol City in the Championship this afternoon.

SAFC will want to keep Dajaku as fit and healthy as possible this term so he can keep providing that end product from the flanks, and so they will want him at least involved against Bristol City, even if it is from the bench to build up fitness. It is certainly a boost for the Wearside club that Dajaku has been in training, and that he could be in contention to play or even start by the sounds of it. Speaking to the media in his pre-game press conference ahead of the match, Neil confirmed (via The Chronicle) that after Dakaju’s illness that kept him out against Coventry, he has trained this week, and so could be in contention to return against Bristol City:

Fellow striker Ross Stewart was on target as the Black Cats came from 2-1 down to win.

City lost midfielder Matty James to an injury in the warm-up. Sunderland got on top and Bentley had to save and deny Simms a hat-trick when Clarke’s ghosted past Vyner to cross low from the left.

Ellis Simms scored twice on his debut as Sunderland picked up their first league win of the season. Here's how Andy rated the Lads!

A brilliant debut. Afterwards, he stepped up a gear or two, got two assists and was instrumental in the win. Improved from that point on, however, and was steady.
