Tony Mowbray's side have picked up 15 points from the opening ten games and three players have been called up for their senior international sides, with two more called up for their respective under-21s. Jewison Bennette rounded off an incredible week for the Wearsiders, scoring the equaliser on his just his second appearance in a red and white shirt.
