http://m.sunderlandecho.com/sport/s...der-adam-matthews-see-him-in-action-1-7342127 After reading these comments about Mathews when we signed him I was full of optimism. The original site I read it on had hundreds more tweets. I'm not blaming him, hes been blighted with injuries since signing. I'll be glad when this season's over ffs.
It hasn't all been this lad's fault though. I seem to remember Dick Advocaat liked his pace and attacking ability, but told him his defensive work needed improving. Matthews took it well, saying he was looking forward to learning more from 'the boss', So Matthews was bought as a 'work in progress' anyway. Dick had no intention of playing him straight away. Let's see what Sam makes of him.
At the time we were buying players that could hit the ground running as they say We turned downed players that were not ready.
