We stopped top scorer in league, Come from behind again, Won even with a terrible ref.....and got the 3 points.....Job done.

NCFC : Someone pointed out to me today that Sunderland are further along the 'transition' curve than Norwich and I agree. Leeds and Sheffield Utd will try and buy there place in the Premier League and there's nothing wrong with that...but Sunderland and Norwich will have to build teams to compete in the Premier. I think the shape of Football will be defined by what happens to these two teams (Possibly Middlesbrough) and I wish you all the best ! I'd like to know your feelings on possibly facing Play-Off misery for the case of the greater good ? Keep the 'young boys' dream of Football alive and I shall be watching from afar.
We are having a fantastic season! Another great result consodering we are missing both our Left Wingers and there was no Browne and Hume! They are all first team players! We have confidence and the players can only get better 👏 I think we can turn over Sheff Utd on NYD and close the gap on them and put pressurr on them! They will go through a tough patch at some point, hopefully weve had ours with all of those draws! I think we should play Isidor on the left and Mayenda up front! Isidor is not a Striker! Ha Way the Lads
I thinlk Patto was better than 6. He's there to stop shots and his save onto the post guaranteed we got 3 and not one mate. Agree his kicking is mainly woeful but that's of secondary importance to his real job which I think he is bloody good at. Good win and we move on the Blackburn. Happy Christmas mate and all contributors.
Sunderland have done well last few weeks and got to keep ploughing on it's the only way as these winter months will be a slog but if Sunderland can get to middle of march in top five they have real chance of getting to promised land great content again mate have a great Xmas.
I thought Isidor and Mayenda actually did a lot to disrupt the momentum of Norwich. Even though Isidor didn’t score, his pressure on their goalie and Mayendas good attempts and breakthroughs in the second half really helped to keep the game in Norwich’s side of the pitch. That and a lot of social media comments seem to overlook Mayenda setting up the equaliser for Ballard to head in.
A brilliant sum of todays game Wayne 👍👍 a brilliant 2nd half AGAIN and AGAIN a good finish by jobe to win it bring we could afford to draw on boxing day but a win would make it a happy Christmas 🤞🤞🤞
I thought we had more problems with the lousy weather in the first half than Norwich. Norwich‘s tactics were clearly aimed at upsetting our lads and the ref just couldn‘t get to grips with this …he was absolutely hopeless! I was a bit disappointed with Cirkin who over the last 3 games has not been his normal self….don‘t know why this is. Alese should have come on much earlier to replace him. Nevertheless a great win from a determined team …. bring on Blackburn! My MOtM Mayenda who I prefer on the right.
A lacklustre performance for long periods not helped by a less than adequate referee and an opposition who were good in possession but who's antics wouldn't look out of place at the Sunderland Empire. For us I thought Jobe was our best performer by some distance even though he did lose possession a few times but retrieved the situation with some strong tackling every time. Overall the team performance just about warranted the 3pts but the lads are doing themselves no favours defending like headless chickens and Patto needs to get his brain in sync with his feet. Blackburn away next so heads down and get ready for another test of our resolve backed with a 7k following, Ha'way the lads 🔴⚪👏👏 and happy Christmas to all the fellow subscribers
Great comments John and agree with them all. We said it was like a panto today lol. Great win and let’s hope for a bumper Boxing Day performance. All the best 🎅🎅
We did what we had to do but...one thing....Luke O'Nien must be moved out of the first team. He was his usual 'clown' self. Got a deserved booking then carried on pushing when totally unnecessary. Just showing himself up!

Hi Darrell, I think the play-offs are only good if you go up. We've seen both sides of the coin in recent years. I would 100% take them again though.
Blackburn got beat away at Millwall & Boro drop points at Plymouth so today win is massive
Excellent result, it keeps us in the running. Merry Christmas everyone. HWTL

I can see your point Chris, I just think at times his kicking puts us under pressure.
Sunderland have done well last few weeks and got to keep ploughing on it's the only way as these winter months will be a slog but if Sunderland can get to middle of march in top five they have real chance of getting to promised land great content again mate have a great Xmas.
Cheers Gary, I agree that has to be the plan. All the best and have a good one.

He is definitely a thorn in the opposition side, his pace will unsettle most defences.
Good win safc 2 1

I think Cirkin is still getting back to fitness and mot having a proper LW there is not helping either.
Three great points from an abysmal 2 game. The ref was disruptive to the an MP no no no no 9p no flow of the if a gud result.

Patterson really struggling at present, not coming for easy crosses, should of done better for there goal.
He really is and I wouldn’t be surprised if Moore comes in at some point.
I said elsewhere, I bet the ref is good st playing ‘snap’

Level of officiating in the top flights of English football is nothing short of horrendous. Inconsistency at the highest level. Piss poor.
Absolutely shocking mate. I wish some ex pros would become refs like, might see some better performances.
Isidor needs to be dropped.He has been poor for some time now.Its time to play the impressive Mayenda up front.
He grafted but is low on confidence
We did what we had to do but...one thing....Luke O'Nien must be moved out of the first team. He was his usual 'clown' self. Got a deserved booking then carried on pushing when totally unnecessary. Just showing himself up!
I think he's the one that misses out when everyone is fit.
