Sunderland Post Match Thoughts

[millertop]

What a tremendous performance from all concerned, much improved from Saturday. I left NYS on Saturday convinced we were
destined for Division 1 again, but more games like this one and we will survive.
The side was set up better and we were deservedly ahead at half time with a lovely goal from Basil, hold out for 15 minutes in the second half and see off their pressure, but no we go on and score a lovely goal from a brilliant move.
Effort and skill was different class from Saturday, tactics too so well done to the Managemnt team as well.
Johansson. Must be the best keeper in the league, a stunning save from Pritchard in the first half and came out effectively and bravely several times.
Peltier. Good game and carried on the good work when he went inside, still think he leaves his man too much when he's at right back.
Hall. Tremendous game again, we look far better when he is in the side, i hope he is fit for Monday.
Humphreys. This lad is total class, however have we managed to get him as a permanent signing, fast, reads the game well and has so much skill.
Hjelde. What a player this lad will be, he is already utter class, read the game well and attacked with effect.
Ogbene. So glad he didn't go in the window, he is such a threat opposing defenders just can't handle him, Come on Chieo sign another contract.
Coventry. His best game for us yet.
Fosu. As others have said probably MOM, for me it was him or Humphreys, looks like he has lost the ball but still comes out with it. Lovely pass for Fergusons goal.
Ferhuson. Class footballer took the goal so well, was well knacked when he went off.
Rathbone. Seems to have stepped up a class, is it the fact he is now the captain, or the freedom given to him be his new role a little higher up the pitch, or maybe coming out of the shadow of Barlaser and Wiles, Whatever it is it has made a good , tenacious player into a very good even more tenacious player.
Hugill. Worked hard but didn't seem to be getting anywhere, he certainly got no help from the officials.
All, the subs came on and contributed, pity Washingtons shot didn't go in. Nice to see Lindsay back on the pitch and doing what he does well, and Odoffin looked comfotable at the back.
Yet again we were treated to an exhibition of refereeing incompetance, how could that not have been a penalty on Hugill. It absolutly stinks the way it seems there is a conspiracy against our club. Fortunately it didn't cost us today.

Shame some of these players aren’t ours
Yes whilst at match I was on about how Rathbone seems to be playing better football
Yes I also was talking about Officials, definitely upset them or they just have the small club syndrome can’t really complain about WS Lino last night though

Mowbray who I actually quite like said in the press

“We came to Rotherham, who had only won one of their last 13 or whatever it was, and we shouldn’t be losing here. Yet we did, and we’re frustrated."

We have only played Sunderland twice at NYS and the aggregate score is 7-2 to us the walloper.

Being fair, if I had a face like his, I'd be bitter too.
