Take a bow! 2 goals, 2 assists as well I believe. Destined for big things. Get his contract renewed ASAP
Only one assist but passed the ball to borini who played Giaccherini in for his. Scored 2 and had a hand in the other 2. Motm for me. If Andy Carroll is touted for the world cup then Connor Wickham should be. I'm not saying he should go just that, at present, he is the best striker in the last 3 games!
I've never been convinced by the lad but boy is he changing my mind after the last three games. What has happened with this lad?
Just as much as the goals is he now looks willing to fight for every ball, he can be an absolute weapon and a top, top player. He's sorted his mentality, and it's all there for him now. The lad was magnificent today, no mistake, he was superb.
Looks like Gus and co have managed him v well cos that's not the Connor we had before. Great run and hope he keeps it up. Great performance from all today.
When we sold Carroll I had hoped we'd go for Wickham as a long term solution but I wasn't asked for my opinion
Niall Quinn was saying when he first came to Sunderland, Wickham thought he had made it. He was last in and first away from training. The lad has all the ability to be the best. Just needs to work hard.
Brucie signed him and let him rot on the bench with no game time at all. So did MoN, so did PDC, we could have had this player a long time ago no thanks to them.
This, DiCanio also said he needed to decide if he wanted to be a model or a footballer. He has obviously decided on the latter.
Quinny was saying pre game that when Wickham signed he didn't train well - last to turn up, first to leave. Glad he's putting the effort in now, could be a star if he keeps it up. Edit: Ha, just realised tony beat me to it!
What the **** has this got to do with Hull Tigers!? You love Bruce because you've never had any better, we have. Here's the thing, under Bruce I doubt you will ever finish top half and because you are as unfashionable as we are (you're called City ffs! common two a penny name) Bruce will be signing people on mental wages and he will cripple you longerm as a club. Just wait till Bruce the excuse turns up next season. You WILL turn on him. Bruce bought Wickham and didn't play him. Bought him for a fortune so as the moment I think we've paid about a million a piece for Wickham goals. He looks like he is starting to come good, but that has bugger all to do with Bruce. We didn't sack him because he was a ****ing Geordie, we sacked him because he turned out to be utter ****. Now you've got him so good luck. Please just piss off. I don't comment much on here, but here I am reading a thread and another Hull Tigers fan comes on with a Bruce comment! AGAIN!!!! Every time O'Shea gives a goal away I think 'well done Brucey'.
