This is what puts me off VAR too. Celebrating a goal wouldn’t be the same when you know that you’ve got to wait for it to be checked on video.

I saw some fans on twitter yesterday saying they were surprised when he was subbed as they felt he was better than others. Some fans thought he picked up an injury in the first half though so that may have been why he was subbed at HT.

We need to go up this year to keep him.

If we can keep this squad fit and healthy - with not too many suspensions - we’ll have a decent season in my view. That’s the nub of it for me - a few bad injuries and it will be different. For example, we all recall the impact of Weimann’s long term injury (especially Dean Holden!). We also need Kalas and and Klose back so that we are less threadbare in the back three.

Now listened to Scott’s interview but nothing to see here as I suspected. From 46 mins 20 seconds if anyone wants to listen. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0ct5jqh?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile

What that they can leave in January? I’ll have a listen but he may have just meant that they will be here until at least Jan because no transfer window until then.

I think the OP was referring to himself!

Averaging 2 goals a game and a healthy +6 goal difference.

Thanks. It was Wells - goal line tech

Wells to get a hat trick please

That’s a hell of a finish by Wells. He even gave the keeper the eyes to make him think we was putting it into the far corner or crossing it.

He posted this on this thread

Seen off Dack thankfully.

Sounds like midfield is where we are winning this so yes I’d be surprised if they didn’t change something.

But win tomorrow and we go above them.

It’s the electric shocks that are making him say brilliant.

Discount is a good idea. I was only thinking the other day that ours seem to still be on sale at full price and given that we’ve already had 4 home matches you’d think that no one would be interested at that price.

Having just watched the highlights Atkinson did not react quickly enough - he could have come towards the ball but he was rooted to the spot. Clearly Naismith’s error but he could have lessened the impact in my view.

Risky perhaps, but fun and memorable to watch. I’m loving watching a CB with so much confidence on the ball. A great character too - no going into his shell after an error; he just gets back out there demanding the ball. Love it.

I think the good outweighs the bad but agree we need the errors to stop. I do think he is a key part in our passing looking better this season - plus he is helping Vyner to improve.

I’d probably give Tommy a rest on Saturday - thought he looked jaded tonight (unsurprisingly given he’s just broken through).

Tommy Conway must have been Scrumpy.

I see Neil has been confirmed now. Is Stoke really more of an attractive proposition than Sunderland?

Agree - hopefully this line up.

Wells looks bang in form at the moment - to be fair he hasn’t always looked as sharp as he does at the moment - but if he keeps it up he’ll be keeping his place in the team I’m sure. He’s always been a great finisher and made good runs but I’ve even more impressed with his passing and his overall sharpness in the last couple of games.
