Sunderland 0-1 Charlton RECAP: Updates as Cats take on Addicks in League One
Key Events
- Sunderland XI: Hoffman; Winchester, Flanagan, Doyle, Cirkin; O’Nien, Neil; O’Brien, Pritchard, McGeady; Stewart.
- Sunderland subs: Burge, Evans, Alves, Dajaku, Gooch, Wright, Hume.
Pricthard looking good
Sunderland are warming up as we speak. Alex Pritchard, who was forced off with a whiplash type injury against Crewe, is moving well ahead of starting today.
The attacker has been selected in the number 10 position by Johnson again today.
O’Nien loses it in the middle to allow Charlton some possession on the ball but Sunderland win it back and counter but Prichard’s ball is too much for McGeady
Doyle hits a long ball aimed at Pritchard out of play, could have played it to Cirkin but opted to get rid. Very cagey start so far
