Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Sheffield Wednesday - Sunday 18th August 2024 - KO 12:00

We really weren't very good for the first 5 minutes

 

Why was that offside?

 

Such a good header from Cirkin. He was fantastic at the back post last week as well.

If I remember correctly in the next 5 mins or so he also makes two brilliant defensive blocks / clearances with his head as well!!

 

Regis - hugging Proctor there after the first goal

 

If it’s true Proctor has been working on set pieces then he’s earned his place on that bench

 

Gerrin
- again

09 with the assist there

 

hadn’t noticed originally that it was O’Nien pressing that high. Thought it was Neil

 

Between the 1st goal and the 2nd I think we forced Sheff Wed into 7 mistakes through pressing them so high. 4 minutes.

 

Me too

 

Some of the 'one touch football' we played was very slick and needed a sure touch ...

... I thought, in the second half especially, the pitch was helping, the surface looked great.

Cardiff's looked very poor.

 

KS texting Caen there

 

Rigg is massive for it. I haven't seen a player for us , as good as him in this regard.

 

He got a song from the Roker End during the lap of honor at the end. Nicked the Pritchard chant.

De de de de Dennis Cirkin.......

Was brilliant today.

 

It should have been five but could have been six. It was that good a performance.

 

Agreed. He is class. Top human aswell.

 

You heard anything about this centre forward we've signed?

 

**** I’ve just realised we’ll have VAR next season

 

Unreal player, we have some huge talents at the club but hes the only one id say is the best in their position in the league

 

Ballard, Seelt, Browne and Huggins on that bench today would be mad

 

Agreed. I think he is the business. Always thought so. Comfortably a pl left back
