Arranging games at three days notice? Long live the 2020/2021 season!
Sunderland had a free weekend, but now don't, so...huge Hull City fan and Holderness Gazette correspondent Bobbi Hadcraft joined me to discuss Saturday evening's game.
• Our first opponents of the season sit second in the league - why have the Tigers started so well?
• George Honeyman - hero? villain? captain? Bobbi gives us her thoughts on our former - and Hull's currant - club captain
