I told you all after Tuesday that Maguire and Wyke could not play together. No one ****ing listened as usual.

 

Joint top on 11 points.

 

It was 3-1 by the way

 

Van Arnault scores... Man u 1 Palace 2 ...........

 

Can't believe your trying to take the credit for McGuire Clocky.

 

Psychology, my speciality.

 

That'll do Sunlun, that'll do.

 

If we had kept a clean sheet or scored 1 more we would have been second but it will come in time hopefully! cant remember the last SAFC player to score 3 though, must have been a while ago

Just found out! Darren Bent - March 2010 - 4-0 against Bolton.

Says a Lot!!!!

 

That ipswich fluke result didnt help either, but OaU.

 

Roker Report Ratings:
Jon McLaughlin 6/10:
Distributed the ball well and barely had a save to make.
Luke O’Nien 6/10:
At fault for the goal, but contributed well going forward.
Jordan Willis 7/10:
Dealt well with Wimbledon’s rare forrays forward with relative ease.
Alim Ozturk 8/10:
Looks a completely different player from the one banished to the reserves last summer. His passing has come on leaps and bounds this season.
Denver Hume 6/10:
Looked nervy early on, but started to showcase his great dribbling and some improved passing after he settled down.
Max Power 5/10:
His decision-making and quality in the final third was lacking - Power did get through some important defensive work, but needs to show more passing quality to maintain his place in the team.
Grant Leadbitter 7/10:
Looked leggy off the ball at times, but once again proved a real asset with his tempo-setting passing.
Lynden Gooch 6/10:
Was tidy in possession and used the ball more effectively than at Rochdale, but rarely looked threatening in front of goal.
Aiden McGeady 7/10:
Came to life in the second half, creating problems and helped increase the quality of chances Sunderland were creating.
Chris Maguire 9/10:
The hattrick hero, scored three very different, but vital goals for the lads.
Charlie Wyke 8/10:
Battled well and showed great quality whenever Sunderland went direct towards him.
(SUB) Will Grigg 5/10:
Missed a golden chance to seal the game and looked lethargic in his attempts to retain possession.
(SUB) Dylan McGeouch 6/10:
Put Sunderland on the back foot with a lazy pass immediately after being brought on, redeemed himself with tireless defensive work afterwards.
(SUB) George Dobson - n/a
Barely involved in a ten minute cameo.
Man of the Match: Chris Maguire

Seems harsh on Max Power

 

And Hume

 

****ing enjoyed that.

Maguire, Wyke and Ozturk again (have we cloned the ****er?) outstanding.

We are a ****ing decent side when we attack teams.

 

That was the last hat trick at the Sol, by a Sunderland player.

 

Missed that one, was that in the league?

Still 3 years is too long to wait.

Hope Hat tricks are like busses... none for ages then loads turn up at the same time

P.S.

The Guinness is going to taste 3 times as special tonight....

 

Cracking win today, a slow start with the 2 draws but now finding a winning pattern. I still have to be convinced by our manager but if this continues I’m sure I’ll be on the flying carpet soon
