I don't want to take that attacking element and dampen it down at all, because I believe just at the moment it is that attacking threat that gives us the best chance of winning games." Neil says his team is at its best when it is on the front foot, and that has been borne out by an unbeaten start which has seen the Black Cats collect four points from their first two league games against Coventry City and Bristol City. "What might happen is that there might be five positions, but I might only have the luxury of getting four. Sporting director Kristjaan Speakman is responsible for landing the club's transfer targets, and Neil believes more new recruits will arrive as the pace picks up in the final two weeks of the window. The Black Cats have four senior central midfielders - Evans, Dan Neil, Jay Matete, and Luke O'Nien - along with Carl Winchester, although Neil now appears to primarily view the latter as a defender. Alex Neil is confident Sunderland will bring in the signings he needs before the transfer window closes - but says no deals are imminent.

Simms managed to hold the ball up on the edge of QPR’s box before knocking it back to Pritchard. - 5How QPR are expected to start against Sunderland - with several injury concerns for Michael Beale's side It’s been a mixed start to the season for Rangers under new head coach Micheal Beale, and the visitors have several injury issues for their trip to Wearside.

Going 2-0 down to a side who have just been promoted from League One should of course be a concern for Beale’s side, but those concerns will no doubt be overruled by the jubilation that comes with such a snatch and grab point, and the frantic scenes of Dieng being the man to come up with the goods in front of goal. QPR, meanwhile, will be boosted by the fight of such a late comeback and the incredible and rare feeling that comes with a goalkeeper getting on the scoresheet.

An extraordinary finish to Sunderland's clash with QPR at the Stadium of Light saw the goalkeeper score a last minute equaliser.
Elliot Embleton’s follow up from close range cannoned off the underside of the bar and out the other side as the 37,000 support collapsed back into their chairs. QPR threw everything plus the kitchen sink with a number of late substitutes making an appearance to try and drag their side towards a point. Lynden Gooch brought down T. Roberts on the edge of the box as he charged away from red and white shirts. Adomah was withdrawn from the field at half-time in place of Tyler Roberts who came into the game fresh from his wondergoal against Charlton in midweek. He jinked inside, laid on Pritchard who then freed the back up to Dan Neil on the edge of the box. The sizeable combo of Stewart and Simms were giving the QPR defence plenty to think about.
The Sunderland boss gave his reaction to the late drama in the 2-2 with against Queens Park Rangers.
When they get a corner later on, we had the ball, they lose at the edge of the box and then they turn the ball down the side, they have a chance and then it becomes a corner. The chances of that are highly unlikely and as far as I’m concerned, they got out of jail. The problem we had was we got two transitions that cost two chances, if you want to call the free-kick a chance, they both end up in the net. The centre back comes in for the collision but plays a quick pass. Although they played three up front and with a ten, what they did is moved Chair off the left and played Roberts but what Roberts did was push the back line so they had four against three. But I thought as soon as we changed our shape and matched them up and went to a back four, we took the sting out of the game, controlled the ball, got Patrick (Roberts) on the ball and got a bit of joy.

Made a brilliant block on the line to deny Sunderland a dramatic winner. Diverted the ball into the path of Simms for the killer second goal on the stroke of half-time.
