Oh wow...You are the first person to ever leave one of these. Thank you so much. You've no idea how long these things take to make, so it's a big thing for that to be recognised by this. I shall dedicate my next video to you. If you want to email me a name or message, I'll give you a shout out as a thank you. Link in the channel description. Honestly, it has meant a lot to receive this.
@@altending Well until I watched this one I didn't notice the option to contribute, I imagine a lot of people aren't aware they can. I love your videos, have recommended them to others, you give a lot for nothing so a small contribution is well deserved. I'll put a note on ALS to highlight this (Dexterdogster) - feel free to mention me on the next video (Dexter is my dog by the way!).
TYVM I shall give you a mention and I saw your post on RTG thank you for the promotion there. I think you are right...many don't know it's there. I had a look around some of my videos and sometimes it isn't an option. For example it isn't there in the Regis video and that's because I am appealing the copyright claim from League 1 so I can't monetise it until after the copyright has been resolved (still 20 days time). I shall pay more attention. TY again.
The best thing about this video is that it showed everyone just how good we were a month before the season started, if only we had a decent manager. Turns out RLB looks like the man. That bet looks sweet now. Glad you enjoyed it. If you can be bothered a loot at the 'TO Do' list video will also show just how much Le Bris has fixed in a short space of time. Happy days at the minute aren't they.
Another great video thx , really look forward to these.always spot on with all the stats and more informative than any other content creator.keep up the good work Alt.its really appreciated..
Welcome to the channel then. There's lots to get your teeth into. Start with the links at the end of this video. There are three that kind of interconnect. Then there are some good tactical breakdowns, Leicester Away last season, Southampton at home. And some classic match reviews I put together, Preston away last day of the first season back. You'll enjoy all these. As well as that I do player reviews when we get new signings and of course, the full 50 minute season reviews of each of the last two years. There's loads to enjoy and hopefully some stuff I reveal in the analysis. Spread the word marra.
We found ourselves in times of trouble, Regis came across the sea. Bringing words of wisdom Reg Le Bris! Reg Le Bris! And now the light is shining brightly, heading to the premier league. Black cats are ascending C'est la vie! C'est la vie!
My dad, a Sunderland fan. introduced me to your channel via the piece on Dodds. Fantastic videos with a unique way of thinking, thought Le Bris would be crap at SAFC until I watched your breakdown on him and now I'm thinking way more optimistically. Keep it up mate, you are very "outside the box" with the way you think. Great content.
Ahhh great to hear and welcome to the channel. Yes, it's all a bit different. I don't think there's another channel like it for any other club. And as for the optimism. Well, it would be bloody miserable to start a season without some hope. Fingers crossed eh. Spread the word marra.
Yep, won't be able to cover every game, but I'll do as much as I can and solid channel supporters like yourself will keep me straight. It's all nearly upon us isn't it.
Spot on as always marra. Hope you’re well and enjoying the break from the pain and heartbreak of following Safc? Fingers crossed for a prosperous pre season.
Thank you and good to see you in the comments again. Foolishly after a lifetime of doing this, I am allowing myself to get carried away with optimism and my own video is encouraging me. Daft as... Fingers crossed though.
We've shown we have a capable squad who can compete at the top of the table when they have a head coach who gives them good instructions (Mogga). Watching this team between Tony, Beale, and then Dodds, it was astounding how much worse they got - Dodds teams being the worst imo. Hoping RLB can coach them properly, give them good instructions, the players know what to do in every situation (like corners, free kicks, etc), and most importantly, a striker packs his shooting boots for the game. Brilliant video as well, Marra
Great work as always. Especially good point on the U21s, I really enjoyed watching them in the final at Tottenham and I didn’t know they were the second youngest team in that league.
Hey, good to hear from you. I was at the Reading game, but on hols for the final vs Spuds so missed that. Glad you liked the vid. We'll have to get sorted for games this season. Not long till they start.
@@altending yes great. I was away for the fixtures coming out so haven’t absorbed it all but feel like all the handy ones are in the autumn, starting with Watford. I know I can’t do Pompey. Will give you a shout when they come round 👍🏻
I'm praying for two strikers and a playmaker to replace Pritchard. And a centre half and a winger and that the manager is good as well yeah that. If no experience comes in up top I can't take it.
@@altending Yeah we see flashes of brilliance from the lad and to be fair I didn't notice his defensive contribution. Keep up the good work it's appreciated mate.
It's a video on the positives. I just pointed out we're well stocked for good ones. He's not proved to be a good one yet so doesn't get a mention. You think I forgot him?
Leo Hjelde is a centre back, and can easily be a much better lcb than onein. Way too harshly treated for a 20 year old playing out of position in a really bad team
Yes, lots of people tell me he's a CB, but he played LB for Leeds, Rotherham and us. He does largely play as the left sided defender in a back three for Norway though. I don't mind which position he plays, but if he's capable of playing CB as well it makes his purchase look more sensible. He needs time clearly, judging him on those games between Jan and May is too harsh and the whole squad played poorly at times.
@altending why does onien keep catching these stray bullets? A main stay in the with best defense in the league and no credit or respect is sent his way...I'd wager that he remains a mainstay under RLB as well especially with his outstanding distribution
@@altending I don't think defending is done all one way its not all about heading and kick, what onien does offer is pace and strength I possession he allows us to play I the opposition half I'd also wager us having such field tilt is I big part down to him...thing with him is the height of which our line is when he's in the team it allows us a bit of leeway as in of he loses the ball it's 60 yards away from goal whereas one like batch if he loses possession it most likely be yards outside the box as he's incapable of keeping it higher up the pitch
@mikaelonallen3108 onein is a decent championship centre back but a lot of his defending is too rash and reckless, his ball carrying can be aimless, and he's not got the physical profile to be a top championship centre back. Hjelde has a lot of things to improve, but he has the potential to be a premier league centre back, and was he really that bad last season? I don't recall any big errors, his passing, decision making and defending was just a bit weak sometimes
Oh wow...This has never happened in two years and then two people drop a superthanks within an hour. I'm touched and thank you so much. I'm quite emotional to see people respond to what is hours and hours of work like that. I'm not sure what I can do to say thanks, but email me your name and a message and I'll dedicate a video to you by way of a thank you.
Good Lord!! Thanks for this and for your sub over the last year. I'm very grateful for your gift as a token of thanks for my efforts. I'll give you a shout in a future video. I'm glad I'm doing a good job.

Saw that someone else had done this, just a thank you for the massively informative content.
Good god! If Carlsburg did subscriptions. Thank you so much. It's nice to know people appreciate the work I put into stuff. I'll give you a shout out.
Yes, I've ben saying we're very close to being a very good side. As you say, a striker who can score an the picture changes completely.
Excellent assessment as usual mate! 👏👏👏👏👏

Brilliant and insightful video as always. Very intriguing stats.
Yay...thanks for that. Glad you enjoyed it. Gotta have hope at the start of the season don't you?
Another great video thx , really look forward to these.always spot on with all the stats and more informative than any other content creator.keep up the good work Alt.its really appreciated..
Thank you very much. Kind of you. So long as I make stuff people want to watch I'll keep it up. Roll on the new season. Fingers crossed.
Excellent as usual! Ha'way the Lads!
Indeed Sir. Optimism is a requirement less than a fortnight out from our first pre-season game. We shall never learn.
Think a bit late to these. My new favourite SAFC content creator. Great stuff

Just watch it all mate. Best content out there by some margin for all things Black Cats
@danielbromley849 obviously I agree. It's a lot of work so thank you for the support.
Class as always. Keep it up mate
Got to do something to keep the close season SAFC needs ticking over. Glad you liked it.
Loving the optimism!
The season must start with hope, it's in the rules.
We found ourselves in times of trouble, Regis came across the sea. Bringing words of wisdom Reg Le Bris! Reg Le Bris!
And now the light is shining brightly, heading to the premier league. Black cats are ascending C'est la vie! C'est la vie!
If he gets off to a good start that song is gonna fly across the terraces. Glad to see you've been enjoying the recent series of vids.

He's different and all in good ways I agree.
You’ve got a very busy season coming up Alt, keep up the good work it’s very much appreciated.
Yep, won't be able to cover every game, but I'll do as much as I can and solid channel supporters like yourself will keep me straight. It's all nearly upon us isn't it.

Thank you and good to see you in the comments again. Foolishly after a lifetime of doing this, I am allowing myself to get carried away with optimism and my own video is encouraging me. Daft as...
Fingers crossed though.
@@altending 🤣🤣🤣 i think we enjoy the turmoil, pain and lost hope too much.
Aye, thanks, always here marra. 😃🇵🇪
Great video as always
TY, glad to be back and glad to still be doing enough to keep the subscribers still interested. On to next week. Did you see the Regis analysis vid?
Great work again Alt. I really appreciate the effort you put into these videos.
Thank you. That you take the time to let me know helps. It lets me know I'm making decent stuff and makes it worth the effort.
We've shown we have a capable squad who can compete at the top of the table when they have a head coach who gives them good instructions (Mogga).

Brilliant video as well, Marra
Yes, I agree with all that. Thanks for the support and for taking the time to write a comment. It makes all the difference to me.
Class video mate, lots to get excited about, we just need 3 top end players (CB, DM, F) and we'll have a great chance
Glad you liked it. What would the start of a season be without hope eh. Fingers crossed.
Agree superb vid again. We have the DM. CB cover is decent, so maybe only a F (or 2 PLEEEASE) to go ;)
@@colinatkinson9252 Yes, I'd be happy with that. Then we should have enough to challenge.
@@altending 100% get the bet doubled up ;) haha
Lad, you're getting my hopes up way too much 😂
This is the way. Got to build it up to have it dashed. It would be a miserable season if we began it with no hope.
Great work as always. Especially good point on the U21s, I really enjoyed watching them in the final at Tottenham and I didn’t know they were the second youngest team in that league.

All that and we never have to see the highlighter kit again!
TY. I had a soft spot for the high-vis bin men strip mind.
I needed this lol
Every season must begin with hope. It's the law.
That's a brave bet! I might punt on top 6
It's a silly bet, but I put one on each year.
I'm praying for two strikers and a playmaker to replace Pritchard. And a centre half and a winger and that the manager is good as well yeah that. If no experience comes in up top I can't take it.
Surely we HAVE to get a competent striker, at least. We probably need two. It would make all the difference.
Ba only 20 years old bloody hell!
21 at the end of the month and already two seasons in the Championship. With the right coaching he could become a great player in the next few years.
@@altending
Yeah we see flashes of brilliance from the lad and to be fair I didn't notice his defensive contribution.
Keep up the good work it's appreciated mate.
You will me with Optimism but...
It wouldn't be Sunderland if there wasn't a but.
@@altending I did mean "fill me." Yes, that is very true. I am looking forward to reading your comments on our progress this year. Thank you.
Lists all the full backs - doesn't mention Pembele....
It's a video on the positives. I just pointed out we're well stocked for good ones. He's not proved to be a good one yet so doesn't get a mention.
You think I forgot him?
Ba will get 15 G/A this season
Double what he got this year? Not sure about that, I reckon he might get less game time as well, but I hope you're right.
@@altending Believe when I say. We'll have it Ba's way

Well you have a good case with the data. I can't see any player we currently have unseating him.
@@altending I don't think defending is done all one way its not all about heading and kick, what onien does offer is pace and strength I possession he allows us to play I the opposition half I'd also wager us having such field tilt is I big part down to him...thing with him is the height of which our line is when he's in the team it allows us a bit of leeway as in of he loses the ball it's 60 yards away from goal whereas one like batch if he loses possession it most likely be yards outside the box as he's incapable of keeping it higher up the pitch
