Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Sheffield United FC – Wednesday 1st January 2025 - KO 20:00

I did say it would be 3-0. We scored all the goals.

 

Class win.

Mayenda absolute beast. He is a clear CF. Clear MoM for me.

Neil is so good right now. Nobody in this league can touch him. I love Hamer, but Neil stood out today.

Mepham on a level of his own. Hume is a lad for the trenches, so is Jobe. Isidor has some x factor.

We are bang in this. Regis reversed the result now he has seen a team. Good sign.

 

Aye, people will be quick to jump on the referee not giving us owt but it’s six and two threes.. some decisions both fans would’ve felt hard done by I’m sure. Thought there a was daft ones he could’ve done better on but nout major. The one with Jobe on the touchline was down to the lino to give him a hand, ball didn’t look out at all but ref wouldn’t see that

 

Yeah - after seeing a few replays, we were fortunate not to give away another penalty

 

Was 1st half

 

Him and Mayenda upfront at home definitely looks like the way forward. I fancied him to score after he belted that shot in from a tight angle early on, he can't half get some power on his shots.

 

Didn’t they have a goal disallowed for offside?

 

Lad is a joke. So so good.

 

Think the last one would have been a bit harsh - if your arms are up and a player is barging into you you're going to grasp out. There was an even worse one in the first half on Mepham, so I wouldn't say we got all that lucky.

 

Proper handful neither stopped running, superb

 

Whistle had gone before

 

Good point. Need to stop drinking (or the other thing which causes blindness)

 

There was a lot going on there but probably no different to how they defended all their corners.

 

what a win right back in top 2 race Mayenda worked his bollocks off well played lad took his goal well roll on Sunday haway

 

His presence in the middle is ridiculous. Makes all the difference. Imagine when he is 23/24 man.

 

Best ref we’ve had all season for me, let the game flow when he could have was right when he pulled things back

 

Sky give MOTM to Mayender

 

I love how direct he is. We need a present day Eric Gates to flick it on to him.
