Bruce looked as though he had us playing differently, with more confidence. Attacking full backs, trying to play through the middle and open defences up but the last few games it's been back to route 1 stuff. Hopefully he can get it turned around again soon.

Thinking back, I don't think Sunderland have played particularly well (Arsenal being the excepetion) since Cattermole got injured. Without him in your 11, the defense is a little exposed and with that they have become shakey. I'm not sure when he's back but for your (and Brucie's) sake I hope it's sooner rather than later because he'll clean up in the middle of the park and take some of the pressure off the defence.
Hasn't Kenwyne been out suspended too? I don't think it's quite all doom and gloom just yet.
