Great performance today and what a result! We can now go to Wigan in midweek and look for revenge after they done us at the SoL a month or two back.
Since MoN has came to the club he has changed things around drasticially and we have a top, top manager at the helm.
As for the lads today they were class
My player ratings..
Mignolet - 7 - Looked abit decisive early on when coming to claim/punch the ball but I would after his injury, got better as the game went on and with only 4days traing a great performance back.
Gardner - 8 - You wouldn't think he was being played out of position, top performance from the lad
Colback - 8 - Didn't look out of place and after the first 20mins or so never really give Johnson a sniff
O'Shea - 8 - Taken a lot of stick but looked better at the heart of defence
Brown - 7 - Was worried when he went off cos he was have a blinder
Larsson - 7 - Good performance from the lad playing in a more central role, certainly put a shift in
Cattermole - 9 - Captains performance and MoN is certainly getting the best out of him lets hope he keeps it up and doesnt let himself down
Vaughan - 7 - Workhouse in the side, never gives up and is turning out to be a great signing, very underrated player IMO
Sessegnon - 9 - He is outstanding at the minute, his pace, vision, technique and trickery is something that I have not seen from a midfielder before in a SAFC shirt. We must keep him.
McClean - 8 - This lad is something special, pace, trickery, can go inside or out and is strong, great performance today and worked hard defensively as well as going forward,
Bendtner - 7 - After the first 25mins I thought the lad looked lazy and when lost it never worked hard to get it back but looking at the bigger picture he was unselfish today and led the line with no support for the majority of games, slows the play down to much at times but will get a few goals for the remainder of the time he is here.

Kilgallon - 8 - Great performance from the lad. I was worried when he came on with his lack of football but he fitted in perfectly and if he can keep that level of performance up he certainly has a future at SAFC, keep it up mate!
Ji and Elmo weren't on long enough but how cool was Ji to go around the keaper, will give him some confidence now.
Not forgetting we were missing Westwood, Bardsley, Richardson, Bramble, Turner and Wickham who have been major players this season.
Bring on the transfer window, we need 3players IMO
Onuoha, Pienaar and Pavyluchenko please
As for team for Wigan, even if the injured or ill players are available I would start with the side that started today apart from Kilgallon in for the injured Brown (cannot see him being available).
