I only seen the highlights of the game.....from what I saw, Sheva took his goal well. Nice to see a smile on his face.Yet again we see a style of football emulating our manager. Uninspiring But hey, its 3 points, I should be running naked up the street.

Watched the highlights and the performance seemed okay enough to deserve the three points. Desperately unlucky not to have scored two more times when we hit the woodwork, but a satisfactory result nonetheless.Match Report - click HERE to read

Oh we deserved the three points because Sunderland were awful, but we didn't play particularly well either.

This game was a tough game for us to play, Sunderland sat soo deep with so many players that it became very hard to play through. We controlled so much of the game and through most of the match the pressure was relentless, we could have scored many more and 2 - 0 is the least we deserved from that game, Sunderland were never in with a chance of taking something from the game.

It was one of those games that we were always going to have to grind out a result. The only teams that come to SB and play football are top six teams, all others sit deep and hope to hit us on the break. There is no chance of anyone getting a win at the Bridge, and they know that with our quality we will eventually break them down and get the goal. We have shown that in the last two games, whilst we might not be playing good football, we are efficient and continue to get the mecessary results.

I thought the football was pretty good for most of the game. It is good to see us open our style up a bit and let the players be creative and Joe Cole is certainly enjoying that. Some of the passing was very clever and quick. Certainly work in progress but there was some excellant stuff in there..

Well in fairness, no manager can change the style of play immediately, it is going to be a gradual, long-term change. But maybe by next season we will see a difference.
