10 Henderson
16 Riveros
25 Colback
27 Elmohamady
28 Sessegnon

 

If he hasn't settled and gotten used to the English game by now then he never will. He's a quality player he shows it in international games, so now it's time for him to show he can do it for us. I still think he will come good and prove he was a very good addition to the squad.

 

I'm pleased about this. IMO, he hasn't been given a fair crack of the whip since his arrival. However, now he has been given this chance, he must take it, or I fear for his future as a Sunderland player.

 

Just watching the game and quite like the look of the lad, would be a shame if he left.

 

I agree. The team as a whole are playing very well

EDIT: ....until the second half commenced

 

although wolves should have had a penalty.

 

Just got in lads from a hard days graft and see we are doing the usual trick of getting beat anyone know if we are playing poorly or just unlucky?

 

IMO Bit unlucky. But well done Wolves hope MickMac Keeps them up.

 

lots of positives from today was always going to be hard against a side fighting for survival. likelihood is west ham will be down by the time we head there next week so think we can get 3 points to hobble over the finishing line.

mensah was ****e though. dont think he'll be back next season. subbed at 87 mins for a youth team lad says it all.

 

Do you think it took Bruce 87 minutes to decide

 

Fair enough but 3-1 loss at home to Wolves FFS we should be better than that taking nothing away from Wolves though.

 

thought we looked decent we just lacked something special, that killer pass or a worldy finish. The lads kept the ball well and moved it around nicely impressed yet again with Jack Colback a good player to have in the squad now as for Riveros I would move him on, Colback is ahead of him now and rightfully so get rid of Riveros and bring in a quality player to play alongside Cattermole.

Should of got a penalty at 2-1 down, Sessegnon went to pull the trigger and got taken out but nevermind.


Hopefully end with 3points next week and then get some quality in the summer, need someone who can create something out of nothing from CM IMO

 

...and so should we have for that foul on Sess, so it was evened out by the ref imo.

 

first half was ok,

we hit the post, they hit the bar,

they should also of had a penalty when mensah handballed.

2nd half was ****e, totally outdone,

sess had a penalty claim and there wasn't much else.

mensah was shocking, throughout...

 

I didn't miss much then cheers lads
