"Arguably stronger starting 11 than Saturday but weaker bench. Cant afford any injuries," posted @gmo1976

@iAmCraigy said: "More confident after seeing that team"

VOTE: Have your say on the Black Cats' best moments from September"Given the issues with injuries and suspensions that still looks a solid starting eleven. Bench isn’t the best but we knew that it wasn’t going to be full strength tonight, " tweeted @_dgallagher99.

@BelligerentbiL added: "What position will Sinclair be? Slightly confused what formation we’re going to play. Still like the look of the side."

"Reeks of goals that!" said @GarryThompson9
