Dobson, co-editor of A Love Supreme, said the Black Cats had proved to be the Premier League's surprise package this term.

“The middle of December seems a fair time to assess what our newly-promoted side has achieved - we're past the heady excitement of arriving in the Prem, there's been time for the new signings to settle in, and the rest of the league have had enough time to work out what we're about,” said Dobson on safc.com.
