I didn't see last nights game but all the reports I have read suggest Wyke played well last night despite not scoring.

Jack Ross was pleased Charlie Wyke got the reception he did from the Sunderland fans after a powerhouse display. Wyke was serenaded during the second half and applauded off at the Wham Stadium when he was subbed late on after an impressive performance, doing everything but score. The summer signing started alongside Will Grigg in a 4-4-2 as Ross made five changes and tweaked his system, both decisions paying off handsomely with Sunderland running out 3-0 winners. Ross said: “Charlie deserved a goal, he was terrific. I was delighted the fans gave him such good backing, his performance level was terrific. “He was frustrated he hasn’t scored but his overall contribution in winning the game was terrific and he will take great confidence from the reception he got and when he came off the park.” Three of the changes were forced upon Ross, with Lee Cattermole (ankle) and Reece James (groin) injured and George Honeyman serving the final game of a three-game ban. Dylan McGeouch and Denver Hume started and both caught the eye. Ross added: “I was delighted for Dylan, he has conducted himself ultra properly through this period, he has trained and played in a couple of bounce games and he has trained and played the way he was pre-season. “It has been a bit stop start for him, but if he can be in that form between now and the end of the season that is a big boost for me. “Denver is still a young man, but what he gives us is that energy from there. His willingness to get forward and his decision making is very good. I don’t have any fears about playing him.”

Wyke must have had a tough paper round - he looks like an old man.

I didn't see last nights game but all the reports I have read suggest Wyke played well last night despite not scoring. There are some players who, no matter who they do, can do no right & some players who, no matter how bad they are, can do no wrong. In the former category is the likes of Kilbane, in the latter we have Tommy Hauser. Wyke is well and truly in the latter. I watched his performance against Portsmouth & he was next to useless. He couldn't jump, had no movement & his close control was akin to Altidore's. Yet reading through fans comments he put in a good shift, and his enthusiasm is good. He's a league two, at best striker, that has had one half decent season in League One. He'll be gone at the end of the season if we go up. |

He'll be gone at the end of the season if we go up.In fairness that could be said of at least 8 of our usual first team starters - especially the keeper, back four and best part of midfield. I'd love to see who Jack Ross has identified for the summer window. |

Well my flabber is ghasted, I honestly don't know which game they watched last night, I watch the whole game and Wykes was his normal self, can't jump, hardly wins a ball in the air, can't run with a ball, looks like he was going to fall over, can't shoot to save his life........Apart from that he had a good game I suppose

Dont know bout yesterday but at wembley he had a decent game, He came on in the 95th minute Chef? and I think there was a reason we never gave our only 'striker' on the pitch a penalty to take. I watched the game, albiet through one eye 😁 hic, and he never stood out for me. |
