Can't add anything to what you've already said Wayne because it was how I assessed the performance as well, I thought 09 might have played from the start but it probably wouldn't have made much difference to the sluggish first half showing but credit to the lads for sticking to the task and rewarding us and the travelling faithful with all three points. I've been critical of Dan Neil for a number of weeks but his goal today was just reward for a very good captain's performance in driving the team to do better and a fitting way to celebrate his birthday. Seven days to let that result sink in and to get ready for the next test of resolve and character against Norwich, the beers taste so much better after a win on the road. Good blog again mate, stay healthy. Ha'way the lads 🔴⚪👏👏
@@davidseery9702 In what respect? Dan Neil's performance, the fight back from 2 down or the fact we won? Not being sarcastic but I'm not psychic David.🤔
I’m in Lanzarote ☀️ could only do occasional checks on my phone … 2-1 Down…. Couldn’t check my phone again until 5pm but imagined myself looking at my phone seeing 2-3. … I couldn’t believe it when it can true !!! Geddddin !
Crucial win.Concerned about goals we are conceding.Maybe we need to start playing 3 at the back in central defence and two wing backs.Great character to come from behind.Isudor needs a goal quick.Norwich next at home.We must win our home games.
Great result , i was at work listening on radio when there second went in i thought the wheels had finally fallen of our team.how wrong i was fantastic fight back .cheers wayne hopefully a home win next week..
Great summary of the game , we were terrible for 70 minutes , I was screaming at the tv to take Robert’s and meyenda off and what was Patterson doing for their first goal? But a great comeback, rigg gets my man of the match for his 2nd half performance, he was just willing to try things and his energy inspired the rest of the team . Will be having a few beers tonight to celebrate 😂 all the best to you 👍
Hi Wayne - we just have to trust in RLB - he knows more than we do. He may be thinking long term about player development/robustness (might explain attitude to subs) for eventual greater benefit. Dan Neil is a very good player and criticism of him is unfair - there's nobody available as DM who could do a better job - that's why RLB plays him there every game and he does it for the team. I think we'll improve going forward (RLB agrees), so let's enjoy and see how it goes. Cheers. Jim
Great review of the game,I predicted a win for us, however that shocking first half, timing of subs to me is a problem however what RLB said at half time just seemed to do the trick and the never give up spirit brought home these vital points, for gods sake being a Sunderland fan doesn't do the blood pressure any good! Keep this up Wayne,really enjoy your content, all the best..
On about the 65th minute I went into the kitchen to prepare my tea and feeling pretty peed off, ten minutes later I'm back at my computer and I can't believe what I'm seeing. The only context on what happened is what you're saying so it'll be an interesting watch tomorrow. Hats off to the lads for digging in and getting a very important result, it keeps us in the running for the top two spots. HWTL
Truly amazing come back Wayne after poor start,thank goodness they didn’t give up,well done to our loyal traveling fans,and safe journey home,makes us all feeling much happier,as always great video 🔴⚪️👏
Hello Wayne what a surprise!!! That first half was a disaster I thought it was done & dusted once the 2nd goes in but all credit for them to come back to win & after the 1st went in we were so solid & we could of had 4 !!! Congratulations to the lads I hope we can now go on a run !!!! FTM
Hi Wayne,,, thats the best tenner ive ever lost in a bookies !! I said i never predict S'land t' loseand went 1-0. Me bet was Swans NOT to lose, to cover the draw, which i thought was a useless result for us the way we've been playin'. When Jobe scored, he kept my losin' streak intact and hopefully started us off on a long winnin' run. A ususal S'land performance, game of two halfs. We done t' Swansea what Cov done to us. Thanks for the vid Wayne n' i might have a tenner on B'burn t' make sure it wasn't a fluke, lol. O'nien should have started imo. Stay safe marra n' be lucky....STID,FTM
Great win for Sunderland and an even better comeback from two down,could this be the spur needed to push on got to have great Xmas to get back in top two then couple of quality additions who knows.
Lot of character shown today Wayne although Swansea looked as they were fading well before the end. Seems las though we still need a quality defensive midfielder and a potent centre-forward if direct promotion is a serious aim.
Like you mate I thought we were so lethargic for 50 minutes or so it was like they'd been on the batter the night before.Not sure why Alese didn't start as Cirkin was off his game today IMO. The O9 substitution was a masterstroke as we started to click when he came on. 1 crap goal to concede but their free kick was unstoppable. A weakness these free kicks we keep conceding in dangerous areas. 3 good goals from us though with Dan Neil having the best one of the game. We've been crying out for him to do that all season. We're still in the mix so roll on the next game.
Great review Wayne I'm so glad I got it wrong 👍 I think Jobe is our savior he's possibly going to be better than his brother. He absolutely loves the Sunderland Shirt and epitomises everything that we have become in the last year. Have a great Christmas Wayne All the best Tim .
I think you're being a bit harsh Wayne. You are right that the performance was poor first half but this could be due to the changes we had to make because of injuries. I was delighted with the way the lads stuck in there in the second half and never let their heads down. Dan Neil man of the match
I don't mind playing like that for the first half as long as we claw it back in the second half haway the lads this is all we want. I thought Robert's stuck to it and did well
Hi mate think we do look a bit leggy at the moment. I thought mayenda was a + today with his energy. Thought we should big character to come bk and win today hats off to the lads 🎉🎉
Chuffed with the end result.Great strike by Dan Neil but when he can come forward he causes problems to the opposition!Don't want to be too harsh on Paterson,still young and learning but mainly at fault for the first goal and still his kicking remains pretty poor at times!Will Simon Moore will be a better option with his experience at this level for some of the games coming up??
The Lads didn't look dangerous at all for the first 70 minutes for sure. Then it was like a light switch went on and it was a different game from there. Lots of needless lost possession until then.
When we went 2 nil down I was fearing the worst, so many things going on in my mind, thinking our season is starting to fall apart, top 6 in danger, things like that, but to be fair to the lads and Le Bris they should really good character to come from 2 down away from home to win the game, Sunderland don't normally come from 2 down and win it, I've seen us come from 2 down and draw but to win it is very encouraging and shows maybe there is something about us this season, obviously I'm over the moon with the come back and result cos we really needed to win that game today but my only complaint like always is the lack of subs, in the end it didn't matter fair enough but at halftime surely subs needed to be considered because of the way the first half went, I'm just a bit confused with Connolly, if Le Bris doesn't rate him then why did the club sign him cos at the moment we've got Isidor who's badly out of form but Le Bris won't rotate the strikers, like I said give the team and Le Bris massive credit for the comeback, absolutely fantastic but the squad rotation and sub situation is still a massive problem, anyway 3 unbeaten at the moment, 2 wins in 3, makes that draw against Bristol City look ok now, 3rd in the table now, 2 points behind Leeds and 5 behind Sheffield United, again I'm not thinking to much of top 2 now but at least it looks a little bit better now
Shows you Thane 2 0 in football isn't game over, yes poor first half needless mistakes but we showed great character 2nd half not for the first time we've shown that either Leeds dropping points away at PNE & our win today is huge
@@SleepyBoardGames-jk9up it certainly is mate and it was vital to win to put pressure on Burnley before they play tomorrow, we needed that today cos the next 2 games will be harder on paper, this is the kind of win that we need to build on
@@SleepyBoardGames-jk9up had we lost today then I would've started to really doubt top 6 but hopefully now we can go on a really good run now, fingers crossed 🤞
@ThaneME2 mate we haven't been out top 6 all season I've said before we're not going to win every week we do need to build on today's win but I think you were overthinking things suggesting if we didn't win we'd be not in top six it doesn't make us a bad team suddenly we are 1 of the best top 6 sides in this league, look at Leeds today dropping points at Preston it happens
A great come back and win! But as you said our first half was dismal. If we had played all season in the second half as we did today we‘d be running away with the league! I thought Neil, Rigg & Jobe were outstanding and clearly were the reason we won. O‘nien should have started….Cirkin was very poor (aas he also was against Bristol when he came on) and should have be taken off at half time. BUT once again RLB and co. still don‘t want to make changes before 70 minutes AND when we are winning with 4 minutes to go why don‘t we make subs to buy time?……like every other bloody team does! My MOM was NEIL. One area I disagree with you is Isidor. He ran his socks off and did create problems for their defenders…..and in doing so made a very valuable contribution to the win. Mayenda wasn‘t that bad either but prefers to play on the right..hope Mundle comes back soon to allow this to happen!
People should stop calling Chris Rigg, Grigg, it's an insult to the lad. I've seen other people making the same mistake. I'm not trying to out of order with you mate it's just that Will Grigg was twat to our club. 🙂
2 0 is neber gane over, poor the way we were in first half but to get level & not settle on a draw & to win shows huge character, after leeds dropped points away to PNE, 2nd half wayne we were alot better so i disagree you saying we were awful until 70 minutes
We're papering over the cracks poor team selection & tactics yes RLB changed it but more luck than judgement we've got great player that's why we are where we are injuries is a poor excuse
We'll Wayne you see what I see for most of the game funny enough jobe and neil were 🐕💩 most of the game yeah Patterson didn't come OFF his line for there 1st goal hume ballard switched off too there 2nd brilliant but if it wasn't for Patterson's low save it would have curtains TBH Wayne..your right mayenda should be behind WILSON he's struggled down the left and couldn't hit a barn door today but TBH honest we have played much fcukin better the previous games and didn't get 3pts so ill definitely take todays result hopfully well keep picking up points till we play Sheffield 🤞🤞
Wayne ,once again harsh comments . We dominated from the 50th minute ,the 3 midfield lads were outstanding in the 2nd half we ripped them apart from left to right and a 5-2 score line would have been fair … pleased rlb did not make any changes as the result may have been different,as rigg normally goes of on 60-65 mins , but was outstanding in the final 1/4 ,,.roll on Norwich as this may prove to be a season defining moment ,, keep the faith !,
I agree mate, awfull performance got away with that one, patto kicking is shite, Elle's should have stayed in he was good last game going forward, mayenda never a winger, Isador looks knackered, but three points. Ftm
From a Swansea fan, fantastic support fair play, tbf played on our weaknesses

Wayne it was a great away 3 points win the lads did great job in fighting bk . Keep the faith and belief in RLB 👍👍👍🤔
Is that Rigg & Jobe suspended next game or have they both gone beyond the timeline for 5 bookings ?
Great review Wayne
I'm so glad I got it wrong 👍
I think Jobe is our savior he's possibly going to be better than his brother.
He absolutely loves the Sunderland Shirt and epitomises everything that we have become in the last year.
Have a great Christmas Wayne
All the best Tim

I think you could be right about Jobe, he's unreal isn't he.
I think you're being a bit harsh Wayne. You are right that the performance was poor first half but this could be due to the changes we had to make because of injuries. I was delighted with the way the lads stuck in there in the second half and never let their heads down. Dan Neil man of the match

Does nothing for the nerves though lol.

I think Simon Moore was unlucky to be dropped. I think it will have been a directive of Speakman to play Patterson as he's adding more value.
The Lads didn't look dangerous at all for the first 70 minutes for sure. Then it was like a light switch went on and it was a different game from there. Lots of needless lost possession until then.
