Calum Mills says…Nordi, Nordi, Nordi!
What a participant.
A centre again taking part in at proper again, popping up on the left wing and scoring.
He’s class and is at all times thrilling to look at!
“Large Unhealthy Dan Ballard”
I’m assured that when he acquired residence final night time, Jorgen Strand Larsen fell out of his pocket.
Commercial
One other rock stable efficiency from our man on the again.
Ball retention and utilization
The usage of the ball within the second half was terrible. I’ve by no means seen us give the it away a lot and after we did have it, there have been hopeful balls performed forwards.
Given we have been beneath a lot stress from the minute the whistle went, each time we did win the ball in our personal field, we tried taking part in the ball out — solely to lose it once more and tackle extra stress!
Talbi over Traoré…not for me
Sorry, I do know Bertrand’s solely performed 150 minutes for us, however from what I’ve seen, he’s not ok.
Talbi’s accomplished extra in his restricted minutes and within the final two video games than Traore has accomplished with three begins. I’m hoping that Régis Le Bris has seen the identical and we begin our Moroccan winger away to Chelsea.
Commercial
His direct operating is what result in us ultimately scoring a second and his move would’ve made it by way of to Geertruida anyway…

John Wilson says…Nordi Mukiele impresses
What a Rolls Royce!
Moved to proper again to accommodate Dan Ballard, he was as imperious as ever.
His lengthy throws are a risk as nicely. An excellent exhibiting.
A key win
Getting one other three factors has at all times acquired to be a optimistic.
It retains us ticking alongside properly and provides to the Stadium of Gentle’s repute as a fortress.
Some slack passing
There have been far too many slack passes from the goalkeeper to the ahead line.
At instances, we invited stress again on ourselves.
Commercial
Sadiki within the wars
We have been all happy to see Noah Sadiki on the crew sheet however he went down twice within the second half earlier than he was substituted.
Hopefully it’s nothing critical and never the beginning of a repeated niggle.
Lee Morrison says…Nordi Mukiele is totally different class!
There’s little doubt about it: he was immense.
His throws are harmful for the opposition nevertheless it was his whole efficiency, giving nothing away defensively and taking the aim brilliantly.
He’s rising into the position and getting higher every week.
Defensive willpower
On a day the place our passing was, at instances somewhat haphazard, we confirmed how sturdy we’re defensively.
Commercial
Dan Ballard and Omar Alderete are an outstanding pairing, and we wanted Ballard’s prowess within the air towards a robust, bodily Wolves facet.
When Robin Roefs was known as upon, he responded with some good saves and helped safe one other clear sheet.
No room for racism
I used to be lucky sufficient to attend the talk-in with Gary Bennett, Jermain Defoe and Aji Alese final week.
It was the primary time that Present Racism the Crimson Card had hosted an occasion of that kind at a soccer membership and Sunderland have been praised for his or her pioneering method. On condition that, and the way Bennett champions the marketing campaign, it was embarrassing to listen to boos from our personal followers in the beginning of the match.

The truth that you’ll be able to boo an agreed gesture towards racism in soccer earlier than then cheering and supporting black gamers is one thing I discover baffling.
Sunderland trip their luck barely
While we defended brilliantly, I can’t assist however really feel {that a} stronger crew would’ve punished us, as Wolves missed some fairly evident possibilities.
That mentioned, you’ll be able to solely beat who’s in entrance of you and we gained 2-0, so it’s irrelevant!

Nic Wiseman says…Enzo Le Fée catches the attention
His little reverse dummy for the primary aim was a factor of magnificence.
He harried and hassled all through the sport.
Chemsdine Talbi injects some pleasure!
He had one other nice sport, making the second aim.
Commercial
One other grafter.
Traore’s struggles and midfield misfires
Bertrand Traoré was unconvincing and virtually gave away a aim. We have been a lot better when he went off.
Our midfield additionally seemed shaky and it wasn’t Granit Xhaka’s finest sport, however we nonetheless gained 2-0 — greater than the Mags might do towards them.
Pre-match booing
The booing of the taking of the knee was embarrassing and made us appear like a parochial membership.
