Excellent defensive display. Bit disturbing that we had so little possession in the second half - and what on earth was Cornick thinking?! But if Max has his doubters - and he does on here - that was a top class display from him. Impressed again by TGH.

I understand he's mates with Bas Savage.

A welcome 3 points however I very much doubt on that showing it would’ve convinced many. MO’L kept us in the game. 

What keepers do...he has had some stick of late, so happy with that.

How the hell did we win that?

WAHOOOOOO. We needed that. LFG!!! ️️

[The Original OTIB]

Manning's fist pump needs to go, about as convincing as Dad dancing.

[Bris Red]

Take that. Hopefully gets a bit more positivity back in the club and us as fans. Onwards and upwards.

I used to have one of those but it kept breaking down so I got a Vespa instead.

For all there possession I honestly don’t think Sunderland created that much ,

I did say before whoever we play and how we play we are usually always in the game , I know we were up against it but Sunderland are a play off side , as we have all said there is a big jump from where we are to match the play off contenders ( not according to Tinnion & the Lansdowns though )

[Monkeh]

That's alot better, not perfect but alot better more of that please city and I will be happier

9 points from the bottom 3, that was a very good time to win.

Yep QPR lost, after leading, only fly in the ointment 'kin Gas.

[old_eastender]

Great result.

Don't understand what happened to Mehmeti, first half looked good including in defence helping out Pring against Roberts, second half just disappeared.

 

 

[Numero Uno]

Take the win. Max one good and one top drawer save. Second half was attack v defence tbh. The lads put it in but the performance has got to improve on that…..unless Max gives us that every week!!

Desperately. Let’s hope that £37m from Scott and Semenyo gets found again (hoping they check down the sofa). 

Probably already gone on SL's latest project, his new golf course.

Just the three minutes of added time signalled, slightly more was actually played but it could have been more … apart from the penalty we didn’t get can’t complain about the officiating.

The .4 needs to show more commitment.

Left early?

[Firstyardleftinbed]

Ground out a much needed win there and Max has to take a lot of the credit, two very good saves to keep us ahead.

Overall though, I'd have to say it was a very mixed bag. There was a 10min spell where we looked good passing through midfield but beyond that we were hanging in there.

Positives: We won. Max's performance. TGH looked very good in patches, Tanner was solid and Mehmeti, although not perfect, was a good outlet and looked a bit more of a threat.

Negatives: Pring got better as the game went on but was all over the place first half. Vyner and Dickie also shaky. Matty James needs to have a bit more influence with the ball, feel like too much is passing him by at the moment.

What would you want the manager to do instead? Bet you detested Gary johnson bouncing around

[luke_bristol]

Great result and that’s my first win at AG for 20 games

 

it wasn’t pretty and we rode our luck at times, but it’s a great result

January can’t come soon enough though.

We really need strengthening.

Where do you think we need strengthening, by January we should have Atkinson , Wells , Naismith & our mystery signing from Scotland all fit , no doubt we will lose a couple along the way

my biggest concern is up front and need a creative midfielder

Don't mind anything if well executed.

Nice that our opponents will feel hard done by for a change.

Nod to Max and a juicy 3pts. Well done lads.

Sunderland were excellent out wide - A tough night for Tanner and Pring which they handled well in the end. If Sunderland had a Conway they'd be a much more dangerous side - they clearly need a different centre forward. 

Max MOTM although being honest I don't think his distribution has been as good the last couple of games, but no question his saves earned us the points. 

Dickie recovered from a difficult first half to be immense again in the second. 

In the end, it was a really hardworking team performance and just what was needed. COYR

[The Original OTIB]

Really need TGH to be permanent, hope there is no get out.

I can take people being negative about the tactics and subs but a fist bump really
