Our Chris Wynn was joined by our old friend - and EFL editor for Sky Sports - Simeon Gholam, talking all about the Championship 22/23 season so far, a little chat he had with our very own Jack Clarke recently, and looking ahead to Sunderland’s trip to Kenilworth Road to face the Hatters!  What’s the crack?  How has Simeon been since we last spoke a good six months back?  What did he make of Jack Clarke after his recent interview for Sky Sports?  What has he made of our start to the 22/23 EFL Championship campaign?  Did he find the Alex Neil move surprising given Stoke's position, and what did he make of the Mowbray appointment?  What can he tell us about our opponents this weekend as we travel down to Kenilworth Road to face Nathan Jones’ Luton Town;   Is it at all easy to predict any Championship season really? Where does he think SAFC should finish come May of next year?  All this and more! Listen In!#SAFC #EFLChampionship #EFL #LTFC Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

RRP: Previewing Luton v Sunderland w/ Sky Sports EFL Editor - Simeon Gholam!

Gav was joined this week by the lovely Simeon Gholam - Sky Sports EFL Editor - for a bit of a chat about the massive weekend of League One football to come, as Sunderland face Shrewsbury on Friday and Plymouth on Monday to try keep our resurrected Play-Off hopes alive!  What’s the crack?How has Simeon been since last we spoke? That Manager of the Month award kiss-of-death still working it seems?  The insanity of Easter Weekend in the EFL - It’s always a crazy few days for the leagues isn’t it?  How do we see this weekend playing out? Do we have the pick of the fixtures (particularly against Shrews on Good Friday) or is there a chance we could slip if we don’t remain absolutely focused on one game at a time?  The lads look at the fixtures for the sides around us in the race for promotion - There’s a few sides starting to really wobble now and some look to be falling away, so of those sides who would be preferable from an SAFC point of view to be drawn against in a play-off scenario?  Does Simeon think Sunderland have made the right choice with their managerial replacement in Alex Neil - can he get us the results we need?  Outside the Sunlun bubble - How realistic are our chances of achieving promotion from a neutral perspective?  All this and much more! Listen in!  #SAFC #EFL #LeagueOne #EasterWeekend Hosted on Acast.

ROKER RAPPORT PODCAST: Previewing the Sunderland Easter Weekend w/ Sky Sports’ Simeon Gholam!

Ahead of our return to League One action against Ipswich this weekend, we got the chance to go over not just our season so far but also our season looking ahead - as well as those of the sides around us - from a somewhat neutral perspective as our Chris Wynn was joined by Sky Sports EFL Editor - Simeon Gholam!What's the crack?Simeon covers all things EFL for Sky and in doing so conducts a great many interviews with managers and players throughout the divisions - including our own Lee Johnson and Elliot Embleton this season - so how much does he enjoy his role... and what stood out for him about both lads during those interviews?League One has never been an easy league to break free from - but just how strong has it got in recent years regarding the size of fellow clubs down here with us?Was the move to clear out the squad ahead of the summer recruitment process brave in his opinion, or does it look like it was the right thing to do to move the club forward?Lee Johnson; What does Simeon think of our manager and his performance this season - have the recent calls for his head come as a shock or is it something he's seen recently at many clubs following a few bad results?A focus on youth was always going to be risky but how are we looking to be coping with this strategy - have we struck the balance between youth and experience or do we need a few more players in January to provide the greater squad depth you need in our position?As a neutral outside the bubble of each sides fanbase - how differently does he view the Sunderland manager turnover of recent years for example, and does he have confidence we now have the right man in place, or does he think questions should be asked following games like Rotherham?Just how many managers and sides forms have dipped after talking to Simeon following a great run of results - is he a causal factor here? Chris investigates...Looking at Ipswich - how important does he think this game is for both sides and how many players did they actually sign this summer?Simeon's thoughts overall on the challenges of this league as well as the state of play across the EFL regarding ownership, the financial disparity between sides (and the tiers themselves) and his hopes for Sunlun for the rest of the season!Oh and what did he make of that festive fixture reshuffle?All this and much more! #EFL #SAFC #LeagueOne Hosted on Acast.
