    The one that was offside was a banging finish too, shame about that. Been a while since we've had a forward who can hit it as hard as he does.

    Not any criticism of Wilson here just the opposite in fact , but I think Watson is our only player to hit 2 goals in a match this season and it could have been more, he is another who hits a hard shot , as does Mundle ., I wish one of them could play on the right and have Roberts comming off the bench , it would give us the best attack outside the Premiership imo.

    Is it known if we have a deal in place to buy Wilson? Not sure I take enough notice, but I hope we have, unless the Russian sanctions are a barrier.

    Has he had three disallowed now? From memory two that have been very tight and might have been given on another day.

    We’d need better in the PL but he’s cheap at that price. Would be a good squad option

    A few thoughts on our boy Wilson after last night.

    Firstly, no more penalties for him, he had his fill last night, secondly what a player he might end up being, and was saddened to see him upset at full time and heartwarmed to see the reaction from our supporters. It doesn't take me much to ingratiate yourself does it? Just actually care, give an ounce of yourself for the team.

    Think 20 is a bit out of reach for him. Maybe 15 would be a canny return.

    19 regular season games left and he would need 12 goals, I'll admit that's a tough task but not impossible.

    It's not. TBF I actually think he should have significantly more that the 8 he has so far.

    Will get 15 and if he’s confident should take another pen.

    No doubt about that. I’m hoping we bring in a better forward tbh

    Isidor is a good forward. And penalties aside gave burnleys defence a really hard game yesterday

    Who mentioned the penalties?

    I just think we can do better than him. He’s done okay for us so far

    He gave their CBs the toughest game I've seen them in this season, unfortunately he will be remembered for the missed chances

    He's got to get a goal soon just to get that confidence back

    He’s a pretty solid forward at this level and most non Sunderland fans mentioning him have said he’s one of the best 9s in the division

    Aye cause the league is full of top class strikers, isn’t it… <laugh> I don’t mind him, just would like some serious competition to come in. He knows he’s starting every week at the minute.

    There’s quite a lot of good centre forwards in this league

    He seems to be on a scoring run. 11 goals now and it should be a lot more, with the disallowed goals and penalty saves.
    He had 3 good opportunities last night.

    14 games to go - I reckon he might just do it

    3 goals in the last 4 games, I think he can do it.
