Summary
Host Danny Kelly is joined by The Athletic's James Maw and Dan Kilpatrick to pick apart the game vs Sunderland yesterday. They discuss a promising first half, filled with more intent and ambition than we've seen recently, followed by a turgid second half performance that allowed the visitors back into the game.
They also chat the managerial merry-go-round, Moore's old firm goal, Bournemouth on Wednesday and much much more!

| 1:12.7 | pull their socks right up and get a late goal to get some momentum into a season that was turning |
