his fitness levels are up to Championship standard
but mostly I think it's that he's started playing with his shirt tucked in. Been raining goals and assists since.

Kept it very well and took pressure off, according to fbref it was 12 touches in 5 minutes. EMC had 33 in 85. Grimes had 97 in 90.
He basically missed pre-season, so it's understandable. Robins had to play him because Sheaf was out and we hadn't added a midfielder in the summer.He has now developed into the player I was expecting at the start of the season, but he looked so laboured.
The problem is with Dasilva he has 1 good game and then followed by many shite games, we still need better but have to agree he was good yesterday I doubt he has turned a corner but lets enjoy it while we can![]()
We all have opinionsThat was about his fourth decent appearance in a row now.
Yeh can't say I've been a huge fan over the course of his time here but he's been decent recently. Coupled with Bidwell being absolutely honking atm I'd imagine he's the first choice LB as things stand.That was about his fourth decent appearance in a row now.
Have said for a while that the constant claims that JDS would never be wanted by another Championship team are nonsense - he’s had some atrocious games this season but he’s clearly a capable player at this level.I think Dasilva should be lauded for yesterday, especially. And that's because he's had such vitriol on here for quite some time. Clearly been labelled "shite" and wanted rid of asap.
There is definitely a player in there. I have always said that, along with others on here and I've always said I quite like him, but he does worry me from a defensive standpoint. Too many mistakes and beaten far too easily at times and clearly targeted.
Really pleased he put in such a really good performance yesterday and now obviously, he deserves to keep his place.
We clearly still need a LB/LWB going forward, but can't fault him at all for his efforts in this game yesterday.
Agree. Patterson's 5 minute cameo was good. Clever links on the left with Da'Silva. Experience game management.Kept it very well and took pressure off, according to fbref it was 12 touches in 5 minutes. EMC had 33 in 85. Grimes had 97 in 90.
But it was JDS's 's gaff that gave them their best chance when the score was 2-0. They should have punished us for thatThat was about his fourth decent appearance in a row now.
It's also funny watching that dick O'Nien trying to challenge Haji and then block it and ending up on the floorThat first goal is more impressive each time you watch it. Reminded me a bit of his goal at Watford last season directed right into the corner.
O’Nien has never convinced me as a CB in this leagueIt's also funny watching that dick O'Nien trying to challenge Haji and then block it and ending up on the floor![]()
He finds himself on the floor a lot when Sunderland concede, he is a poor defender for me but the mackems love him so let's hope they keep picking him. My favourite fuck up by him was last year at SOL when he fouled COH or Haji as we broke and ended on the floor on the half way line as we scoredO’Nien has never convinced me as a CB in this league

I noticed both Thomas and Kitching were looking to play diagonals when it was on.Hate to use the word but there were some frankly filthy diagonals he was finding today. Teams allow him time on the ball at their peril
Yes you can see them doing that every week. So effective when done rightI noticed both Thomas and Kitching were looking to play diagonals when it was on.
My grandson said they practice them in the warm up before every game, I have never noticed that.
How could they afford that when they were already paying Kasey Palmer the GDP of a small country?There should be a player in there. Bristol fans claim he was on £16k a week there.

You’re once again all of a sudden very keen to play ‘Guess the salary’ instead of just acknowledging that a player you don’t like is doing pretty well recently.They couldn’t - their wage bill was at one point twice their turnover and one of the highest outside the relegated clubs from the premiership
For me, the workrate off the ball has been far better under FL, yesterday in particular, EMC covered Dasilva far better than he has previously, and as a result we weren't exposed down our left side any where near as much as we have been before.It's all been said (and it's dead easy when you have just had a good win) but in no particular order
1. At a personal level, getting Saka back to his best and Torp's emergence have been the big achievements of Lampard's regime. They've got Saka to trust himself more
2. Ball retention. Massively better. The midfielders won the 50-50's but then were able to do something with it. Allen has previously always been culpable for giving it way too easily, but not yesterday.
3. Same theme. The great thing about EMC is that even when he is struggling to get past his man, he's always a fantastic outlet. He controls the ball well and finds a man in the same coloured shirt. And his threat on the flank means the opposition defence is always stretched.
4. Paterson's little cameo was a lot better than PNE. He too kept the ball in play. But I am still not sure what he adds.
5. Grimes is the glue that Sheaf could never be. He's got it in his head in a way that Sheaf just does not have. Where to be, how to move it around, leadership on the pitch. He should be good for 3 years - which is all you can expect of any player. The new McFadz as leader. The King is dead, long live the King
6. They may be the same to look at but Jobe ain't Jude
Kasey Palmer’s not playing at all which I guess gives him some satisfactionYou’re once again all of a sudden very keen to play ‘Guess the salary’ instead of just acknowledging that a player you don’t like is doing pretty well recently.
You’d expect more from Palmer given that one Hull fan says he’s on £800,000 a weekKasey Palmer’s not playing at all which I guess gives him some satisfaction

I find it astounding someone’s willing to pay him thatThe ITK here claims £20,000
The one who changes his mind about the squad every three weeks, or the one who thinks chemtrails cause cancer?The ITK here claims £20,000
After tax*You’d expect more from Palmer given that one Hull fan says he’s on £800,000 a week*
But it's Haji Wright.Wright 10
