Sunderland coach gives his verdict after first two pre-season friendlies
Assistant head coach Martin Canning says Sunderland's first two friendlies mark a staging post in the Black Cats' pre-season programme. Sunderland reported back on June 22, and after a week-and-a-half of fitness work they played low-profile, behind-closed-doors, games against Gateshead and Blyth Spartans at the Academy of Light today.
