The Roar podcast: Watford reaction, Dan Neil analysed, and the latest outlandish Sunderland exit talk

The Roar podcast returns this week with all of the usual news, reaction, and analysis following Sunderland’s 2-1 defeat to Watford on Saturday afternoon.

Echo writers James Copley and Jason Jones are on hand to take a look back over everything that happened at Vicarage Road, including a costly error from captain Dan Neil, and a goal-scoring full debut from Wilson Isidor. Will either retain their place in Regis Le Bris’ starting XI heading into a busy week on Wearside? There’s also a tip of the cap to emerging starlet Tommy Watson, who impressed during his cameo appearance against the Hornets.
