Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 11:51, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lede[edit]

"Between 1891 and 1939, "The Black Cats", as they are known – in addition to their six league titles – finished in the bottom half of the league only ten times, and finished in the top seven 28 times. Since World War II, their league performances have been considerably poorer, only finishing in the top half nine times (1947, 1949, 1950, 1953, 1955, 1956, 2000, 2001 and 2011), and only reaching the top seven four times (1950, 1955, 2000 and 2001). Furthermore, they have been relegated eleven times, and just over half of this period has been spent in the top flight (41 out of 76 seasons); of the 35 seasons in which they were outside the top flight, five have been spent in the third tier."

Far too much detail for the lede, per WP:LEDE and WP:UNDUE, not to mention not of interest to the casual reader. Discuss, @IGrisha:. Seasider53 (talk) 22:31, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Average match attendances since 1891[edit]

I noticed the image with this text below, how is the image suitable as a graph? In order to read it you have to click on the image. Wouldn't this also violate MOS:ACCESS under text size due to being in an image? Govvy (talk) 09:12, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

add Bradley Dack to the squad list and link to Bradley Dack Mattg2492 (talk) 07:54, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: While his article is sourced to mention him joining the club, the 1st team citation used to support the First team squad's table currently doesn't list him hence wait till the official website is updated to include him. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 08:24, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
