You know.

Yeah twice he lost possession when all it needed was a bit of clear head and clear thinking.

A lot. But this is where using the squad, as thin as it may be, can help.

2 wins and 5 draws with goals in the 87th minute or later.

To be fair, he tried to lay it off to Fatawu but the defender got a touch on it. Ideally he's shooting there anyway!

They're relentless.

They were 7/2 to score the 5th goal as well. Printing money

I fear a defeat if we play like we did today. We weren't clinical enough and barring the first 10 minutes, created next to nothing. Where we used to control games and tire out the opposition, we just seem knackered ourselves from about 70 minutes onwards. End up inviting pressure and ultimately conceding more often than not. We were fortunate tonight but I hope the players take some confidence in that they've held out for a win and a clean sheet, albeit nowhere near deserved.

And there's the winner.

Saved!

Worrying thing for me is, despite the 3 points and a much-needed win, is how leggy we look. Probably be a similar game against Hull but they have far more creativity and goal threats than Sunderland. If Sunderland had Clarke playing we're not winning that tonight. We have to be much better against Hull. Especially just retaining possession. The fatigue we showed just led to us losing the ball and inviting lots of pressure. The start was brilliant, should have been about 3 up to be comfortable, but we made hard work for ourselves. Just have to be better against Hull. We'll probably get battered against Chelsea playing like that, too.

Stupid challenge from the Bristol City player.

Hamza had enough of a arm in the back to give it, I think. Very, very lucky. And of all the fouls not to give, he doesn't give the penalty .

Choudhury is a very lucky man. Idiotic thing to do right at the end. I'd be fuming if that happened on our player.

Phew! About time. That was shite 2nd half. But we held on. 3 points are the most important thing.

Get in!!

Bloody hell. Of all the fouls not to give Looked a penalty.

Is Dewsbury-Hall stupid? Work the ball instead of just running into them?

4 mins for Sunderland to find the equaliser and get the winner...

Stupid from Ndidi.

Going too defensive. Justin on for Fatawu. Genuinely be surprised if we come away with 3 points. Created nothing this 2nd half.

.

KDH is knackered. Silly foul to give away.

Fatawu done well defensively.

17 so far. Against 10 for us.
