Sheffield Wednesday vs Sunderland - League Cup - First Round

League Cup - Round 1 | Hillsborough Stadium | Kick-off 7:45 pm.
Sunny weather down in Yorkshire with a clear sky and it is far too hot to do much!

Alex Neil makes 11 changes from the team that started against Bristol City:

Sunderland AFC starting XI: Bass, Winchester, Wright, Alese, Hume, Matete, Sohna, O'Nien, Embleton, Roberts, Diamond
SAFC substitutes: Patterson, Cirkin, Batth, Simms, Gooch, Clarke, Neil, Spellman, Kelly.

The Black Cats attack the Kop end in the first half and the stadium is not very full at all.

Sheff Wed score.

1-0.

A pointless game really.

They scored a good goal from their perspective but crap defending from SAFC's point of view.

For anyone who is interested, we go in at halftime, 1-0 down.

^ This. I couldn't care less. We only want points!

2-0

Get all the substitutes on now.

Woeful comes to mind.

Alex Neil didn't play the senior players at all.
He doesn't care and it looks like we don't care ha ha ha.
The thing is though, our players lost without a fight.

Final score Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 Sunderland.

The Black Cats are out of the League Cup and we miss an opportunity to possibly draw the Maggots.
By the way, the draw is on soon.
