    You reckon? Looked like a definite one to me and the guy didn't make a peep of complaint.

    Yeah I thought that too. When the guilty party reacts like that it has to be. I'd say deserved but I personally think we deserve more than 1-1. Looked quite good but need the finishing touch.

    Yeah he didn't but I know I'd be a bit pissed off if that was given against my team, I guesss it's just one of those!

    I'm surprised I've enjoyed that first half, a few additions to this team and we'll be ok, playing some decent stuff

    He was a bit unlucky because he stumbled into it but once he had there was a solid contact.

    I thought we played well I've been quite impressed. McGeady has been very good, his set pieces are on point and I can see us getting goals from them. He'd be better served with Oviedo behind him, next game hopefully.

    Yeah we overall look a little toothless but it's nice to see us working hard. The LB needs to learn fast off that mistake or he will be a weak link

    I think Galloway is a CB who can play at LB in a pinch so I'd expect Oviedo to be straight into the team when he's fit, not sure like don't know much about Galloway.

    Anyone else feel we lack the rub of the green here? Not from any perspective other than the just wide and off the post and falls to a defender! Really enjoying the game to be honest. McGeedy looking good and Vaughan works his arse off. Great pressure from the front.

    Khazri springs to mind he tends to energise the team.

    Have to say every nudge is a free kick to derby but not Sunderland! Vaughan being pushed all the time and getting nothing

    I think Vaughan goes down too easy, reminds me of Fletcher in that regard. Constantly going down and throwing his arms up and getting nothing for it.
