Sunderland Forum - Original And "Family Friendly"
Join Us If You Support SAFC Or Have Wearside At Heart!
Welcome to the SAFC Forum and football lounge. You may chat about Sunderland AFC here together with any other footballing matters. Of course, the Black Cats are the main focus!
KRISTJAAN Speakman insists Sunderland still believe their three permanent summer striker recruits will come good on Wearside - but has acknowledged the importance of the Black Cats being more open about their hopes and expectations for young players moving forward.
"I understand now that we live in a world where we all want things instantly - that's obviously the ideal if players turn up, integrate and perform immediately.
"Players aren't robots, you cannot take a human, move them and expect them to perform exactly the same, straight away, in a different environment.
"It's on us to try to create that environment for them and then it's up to them to step up.
