"Sunderland have a worse team than last season now..."
On this week's Box 19, it's a poor defeat at West Brom, the cup of cheer and a visit from high rollers Man City.
Mark Fawcett, Chris Fryatt, Kevin Moeliker and Gary Johnson comprise our SAFC fan panel as they look back on a hugely disappointing weekend for the Black Cats in the Midlands.
Steve Bruce said he would go for an attacking line-up but it had little effect as Roberto Di Matteo's team clinched a late winner.
With key departures in several areas of the pitch, where does manager Bruce need to strengthen ahead of that August 31 deadline? Our quartet decide.
Plus, Echo sports writer Ian Laws gives us his take on the 2010/11 campaign so far, as Colchester United in the Carling and Manchester City in the Premier League come into view.
And digital editor Lee Hall previews deadline day, which promises to be one of the most exciting events in the football calendar.
