    If I was the club I'd appeal the card and, if it's successful, rest him on Monday anyway just to prove a point.

    The referee allowed himself to be bullied by a bunch of second rate mouthy players.

    There are too many teams like this in the Championship ...

    ... I always thought Norwich were decent but their cheating was just that, cheating.

    'Game management' is fine but it's a phrase fans use nowadays to cover their arses in every situation.

    Gotta say Wells was on goal if your man did not bring him down-rules are last defender wells is on goal -sending off no ifs or buts guys.

    Just watched Mayenda's goal again ( around the 20 ish times now) and to think some of our fans never wanted him to pull the shirt on again. So hope we can keep him. He will be a 20 goal a season player in my opinion.

    Don't agree didn't have the ball under control first touch was taking him away from goal. Decided to fall over. Celebrations like that after getting a fellow professional sent off are disgusting.

    Risk getting a longer ban if it doesn’t get overturned doesn’t it?

    It’s part of the game now it’s **** but it is what it is ‘dark arts’ refs just need to be braver, I probably would be shouting for the red if it was the other way around but it’s harsh

    The decision is debatable, your team's behaviour was disgraceful ...

    ... very petty and not something you can defend.

    Correct. Whether people want to admit it or not they’d all be pining for our strikers to do the same thing in a match of importance that would see the opposition play with 10 men for most of the game.

    Big fan of Mayenda, his goal was a cracker, but the champagne moment was when he somehow controlled a ball behind his back and went past two men in on movement which should have then ended with a Roberts goal , some achievement that would have been.

    Sunderland fan here,

    was at the game yday as I came up from Southampton.

    wanted to say absolute credit to you guys yesterday.

    played some sublime football and Liam manning is massively underrated.

    good luck for the final few games and I guess see you in the Play offs!
