Moyes desperate for points
The Black Cats have managed to garner just two points so far since Moyes replaced Sam Allardyce in the summer.
They are bottom of the table and on Saturday they travel to face Stoke City, the only other club in the top flight without a win.
I’d love to get that first win under our belts so that we could start to look up.
