Blackman 7 not much to do but confident in the basics
Kilgour 7.5 back to the Alfie we know and love
Craig 8 looked far more comfortable and marshalled the defence superbly
Harries 8.5 the first 5 minutes he looked nervy but soon settled and played well, always seemed to have
that extra bit of time.
Rodman 7,5 he adds that extra bit of class and energy. we always seem a better side when he' playing.
Clarke 7.5 Ollies best game for a long time.
Hargreaves 9 M.o.M. a high energy performance,he should have had a penalty when the keeper wiped him out
and to be given a yellow for simulation was a total slap in the face by a hapless ref.
Sercombe 7 playing centrally he looked much more comfortable.
Leahy 7 a strong game and really got stuck in,
Mitchell-Lawson 8.5 very close to M.o.M, covered every blade of grass and its no coincidence that JCH
looked so much better he looked the ideal partner for him.
Clarke-Harris 8.5 he was really up for it, his first goal took me back to the days of the great Geoff Bradford
who scored goals like that on a regular basis and thats high praise !
Subs: Daly 7 bags of energy, an ideal late sub to test Sunderlands tiring defence.
Hare 7 great to see him back.
Kelly N.o.l.e
Crowd 8 really got behind the team.
Ref 2 absolutely dire he seemed to think we turned up to see him. We didnt,!!! I just hope he stays away from any game we are involved in.
Sunderland 6 . Parkinson has stamped his style of cheating, harrasssing the ref and antagonising the opposition.
They could be a far better team without all that and I cant see the fans putting up with it for much longer.
