Tired Black Cats supporters fear Advocaat will walk away from Wearside if he is unable to make quality new signings. They are a hot team that is starting to get hotter and Sunderland does not have enough to quell Swansea’s flame at this time.

The Fan Zone will also be open as an amenity to concert‐goers and other special event attendees during major shows at the Stadium of Light.
Two defeats out of two is not a disaster by any stretch of the imagination. Nevertheless, the problems do not stop there.
Marcos Alonso is very familiar with the Premier League, and with Sunderland in particular. Before that they played in September 2013 and Norwich City won the game 0 – 1.
Defender Billy Jones also expressed his disappointment but said he was keen to get back to winning ways, starting by making a statement against Swansea. Now McFadden added, if that’s not the case: “I don’t blame Advocaat if he goes”.
The midfielder expects a significant improvement when Swansea City visit the Stadium of Light on Saturday.
So it will be Matthews who faces the task of trying to succeed where Branislav Ivanovic and Darly Janmaat have failed – namely, dealing with Jefferson Montero.
But Advocaat insists that much more is needed.
There has been speculation this week that Advocaat, who retired in the summer only to change his mind and return to the North East, could walk out of the club because of broken transfer promises.
Cameron Jerome will come up against his former club on Saturday. “He says we have four or five [already]”. He knows it will be a lucrative challenge and his track record of never being relegated as a boss makes him an attractive appointment. These disheartening displays occurred against sides marked as bookmakers’ favorites for the relegation battle.
“The only way we can kick start our season is by winning games and we’ve got a massive chance to do that against Swansea“. Sunderland’s problem isn’t lazy players, it’s having players who can’t cope with the system, and the fact that the manager is putting in place a system that he doesn’t have the players to implement properly. With this attitude Advocaat’s players could be in trouble once again if an early crack is found by the Swans. The Icelandic playmaker provides what Swansea’s wingers need – fine distribution of the ball.
