“Haji Wright, Ian Wright, Shaun Wright Phillips - in that order”

Very good. But he forgot Andre Wright.

Not much to add that hasn’t been said; we were incredible today. Best we’ve played for a long time.

We were on it from the first moment and relentless after that. Other than one that Isidor hit miles wide (and was possibly offside for) I don’t remember being worried.

Everyone played well, but Allen was another level, he was everywhere and it allowed others to play. It’s not a coincidence Torp was so good.

Like everyone I was doubtful of Wright playing 9 after Derby but he more than proved us all wrong!

I actually think their CBs trying to wind him up, completely went the opposite way to how they planned as it motivated him even more,

If we get them in the playoffs, we’ll have the mental advantage. And their CB’s will be absolutely shit scared of Wright before we’ve even kicked off.

Elite tactician indeed

Plus Stephen Wright

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Can't see him being anywhere near the level required to be honest, and have doubts that he will be for the rest of the season.

 

[baldy]

Shows bouncebackability
Wins 2/3 without rudoni
Shows that little overall difference between jds and bidwell
Dropped Simms because he doesn't put in enough effort
Rightly decided wright can do a job down middle
Signed Patterson who if he plays he wins everytime
Shut up the idiots who said we play poor football and they "could see a loss coming"
Super Frank Lampard!

He might be an elite tactician but whoever designed his scarf isn't an elite speller

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Would love to be wrong but Wright is a mistake for me. He’s not sharp at all.

 

[fingers_crossed]

Just back from the game and that was sensational. Lampard has got them playing well and he must feel like he’s got a brand new £20m striker up front. The work rate from Allen, Grimes, Torp, MVE and Sakamoto was amazing. Even when we lost the ball you just knew we’d win it right back. Allen must have massive pockets, to fit Jobe Bellingham in there.

Oh and a shout out to Lee who did the goal challenge at half time. When even your fans are banging them in from the half way line, you just know it’s gonna be your day.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Really would have left Wright until after the break to start and not convinced by him in the middle. He’ll score a hat trick now of course.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Expecting a master class from Wright down the middle

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Wrong team selection?

 

[pusbccfc]

Does Haji have the best weak foot in the clubs history?

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Strange game, Sunderland were just not up for it, we move on

 

[quinn1971]

Hate to say I told you so but can all the negative posters please piss off, best performance of the season

 

[shmmeee]

Ndlovu I reckon.

They were up for it just we were better

I didn't go today but watched on ifollow. What a match. It's all been said already but I have to agree that I can't remember such a complete performance for a long time. Every player was brilliant. Obviously Allen and Haji were the pick but Torp and Sakamoto not far behind and Grimes and Dasilva deserve mentions too.

It's strange to see such a contrast to Tuesday; it makes me think that I don't really understand football and maybe that's why it's such a wonderful sport that we're all so obsessed with. To pull a performance like that after the dross of Tuesday is so pleasing.

Nice timing with the break as well, we can look at table and enjoy us in 5th for 2 weeks now.

If we don't make playoffs or don't go up, it will still have been such a memorable season.

PUSB!!!

We were very good but Sunderland were far off their boil.

No they weren’t, we just stopped them playing

 

[Robinshio]

No they weren’t, we just stopped them playing

agreed once we got the 2nd they were done and didnt know how to come back - a bit like we were on tuesday

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

What a game and what a performance. An epic atmosphere too. Don’t think I stopped singing and the place was really bouncing at times. It must have driven the players on. Well played my Sky blues, well played 🩵

Agree, the Sky Blue Army were awesome today made the heirs on the back of my neck stand up.
That Mason- Clark song being sung by the whole ground, love it.

Proud and loud.

 

[quinn1971]

Spoke to lampard after the game, the Atmosphere is one of the best he’s ever managed or played under he loves it

 

[Mcbean]

Dead chuffed with that superb display - so different from Tuesday which was played on a bog of a pitch playing against cloggers !

Does he call you Quinn or mate ?

 

[Liquid Gold]

And they said it couldn’t get any sweeter

Quinn, my old man knew his old man, one of the best fans he’s ever seen? he’s blown away by it

Being gifted city status by the Royal Family. The likes of Sunderland, Wolverhampton and Southend will never and should never be cities.

Too late

Southend-on-Sea was granted city status on March 1, 2022, in a tribute to the late Sir David Amess MP, who championed the campaign for city status.

Fair play to you , his old man was a proper player . Not many got past him

Don’t make them like that anymore, seriously he can’t believe the atmosphere, loves how we’ve made him feel at home

 

[Tommo1993]

You know both are very possible.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

I'm good friends with a couple of Mackems , both are good lads strangely enough
They wished they had signed a Grimes type player in January . They lack a leader badly

 

[quinn1971]

True, but from the 1st min there was only 1 team winning that

O'Nien getting rid of excess of what he gives to strikers... just could not get close to Haji to administer.

O'Nien is one of the worst footballers in the league

Can’t disagree
