GOOCH: SEASON COULD BE TRICKY


Lynden Gooch spoke about Sunderland's 1-1 draw with Coventry, and has told supporters to expect the team to be on the back foot at times this season...


DECENT POINT

"It was a good point on the board. It was a difficult game. I thought the first half we played really well, especially for the first 35 minutes or so when we posed a real threat and played some good stuff. I want to prove that I can play at this level, so for me to get off the mark by setting up a goal early doors was really good."


UNLUCKY GOAL

"In the second half they made it more difficult for us but that's going to happen this season, there are going to be times when we are going to have to suffer and defend well, and we were just unlucky [to concede]. It was tough and really intense."


LEVELLING UP

"In League One we have probably dominated most games, especially at home, but this season we are going up a level and coming up against better players and you can see that already. We had some good chances in the second half to get the second goal and we were just a bit unlucky, but I think it was a good point overall."


YOUTH/EXPERIENCE

"We do have players who have played in this division before. which obviously helps, but we do have younger lads as well who haven't [played in the Championship before] so it is a learning curve for everyone involved. If we just keep trusting the manager and what he wants us to do, we'll be fine."


BRISTOL CITY

"It's going to be a tough game. They will be wanting to bounce back, obviously, because they lost really late on on Saturday and probably felt really unlucky not to get at least a point from the game. We know that they are going to want to try to get their first win on the board, but it's up to us to change that."


WINNING MENTALITY

"If we keep playing well and doing what the manager wants us to do, I think we'll definitely gain more points than we'll lose this season."
