Welcome to the Sunderland AFC live blog for Thursday, February 8.

The Black Cats crashed to another defeat on Saturday, this time against Ipswich Town, leaving Wearside with three points after a 2-0 win.

Chris Coleman added Ovie Ejaria, Ashley Fletcher and Lee Camp on loan deals until the end of the season last week, and all three made their debuts against Mick McCarthy's men.

They all did reasonably well, but it was the old defensive frailties which cost Sunderland dearly as they couldn't build on a positive start against Ipswich on Saturday. Next up is Bristol City and we've got all the build-up to the game.
