JUMPIN' JACK IS COOL FOR CATS!

SUNDERLAND welcome Sheffield Wednesday to the Stadium of Light this afternoon buoyed by fresh hope but nagged by familiar problems.

A 2-0 victory at Cardiff on the opening weekend, the first game under new manager Regis Le Bris, provided plenty of reasons for optimism.

Primarily, it marked a departure from the wretched form and insipid performances that saw Sunderland tumble to 16th place and spend 2024 as the second-worst team in the Championship amid a calamitous sequence of managerial appointments.

Summer signing Alan Browne was typically industrious on his debut and there was even a goal from Jack Clarke, a player few Sunderland fans dreamed would still be at the Stadium of Light after last season’s 15-goal haul.

That Clarke has not yet joined Southampton or Ipswich, the two sides credited with a concrete interest, is due to Sunderland’s insistence on a £25m fee – something neither of the Premier League newcomers are prepared to pay.
