    Neil, Mepham and O’Nien looking great to me.

    would prefer Aleksic for Browne but can only assume RLB preferred the control Browne should (but possibly isn’t) be giving.

    Whisper it quietly but assist king Hjelde isn’t looking too out of place

    Sunderland till I die
    Sorry, the goal should not have stood.

    I'm happy though, as lots of decisions have gone against us.

    Make no mistake about it. We have had the rub of the green.

    Should of had a pen against and goal disallowed.

    Watching it again I actually think Mayenda controls it beautifully on his chest and I’ve got no idea what the fuss is about :emoticon-0172-mooni

    In what way? I don't think he moved his arm to gain an advantage. I'll take the goal but I'm old school

    By the letter of the law. Accident handball, when leading to a goal should be disallowed.

    Well I didn’t realise the rules were that stupid. Rub of the green for us, for a change

    Will take that going into halftime.

    Think we have a few problems areas on the pitch, mainly the right sided trio. Gassama is causing Hume all sorts of problems, Roberts is again doing a lot without doing anything and I don't think Browne suits the role of the more advanced midfielder. This is leading to us not getting enough bodies around Mayenda.

    Think Neil and Jobe are playing well and so are the centre backs.

    Flat game. Will take 1-0 100% though. Fortunate with the goal, penalty shout and windass miss.

    Seem to have lost our dynamism in attack, a predictable at times and out numbered. Browne hasn’t worked as a 10, too far off mayenda.

    Mayenda has been really under-utilised the last couple of months. Still raw but an absolute menace every time he starts.

    Important 45 coming up. HTL

    If Wilson is fit get him on. Him n Mayenda will rip this defence to bits. We need wins not draws so lets go for it.

    Don't think it should, if that ball forward comes over the head of mayenda and hits a defenders arm like it did with mayendas arm then no way would a penalty be giving. If it's a good rule for the defender the surely it's the same rule for the attacker

    I'm still not even clear if he's really on the bench?
