True they were good deliveries and yes not giving away the free kicks is also part of

the solution. Just pointing out that Franke and Zimmerman seemed to be getting some scrutiny last night but actually I don't think either of them were marking or particularly near to the men who won the headers so just wondering whether we might see that re-jigged at the weekend with one of them one duty at the front post.

I have no idea how Sunderland are playing under Grayson but given the players they have and his championship grounding I would be amazed if they are not well drilled from set pieces so hopefully Farke, Rimmer & Co can work their magic before Sunday.
