Luke O'Nien 250th Appearance

[Northumberland]

Well done . Credit to the club on and off the pitch

 

[Houghtoner]

Gets a load of stick from the hipsters, but he’s been a brilliant servant for us

Definitely been a great servant. Not saying he’d play if we got there but it’d be fantastic if he was part of a team that wins promotion to the PL. Played pretty much every position apart from keeper.

I’m not saying people should give an eternal free pass for this, but this really has to be taken into account as where we came from when assessing how DoFs/owners have done.

Scary that.

 

[Safc98]

He is literally one of the best passers of a ball, with both feet may I add, in our squad. Carries it out from the back with confidence, tackles well, puts his body on the line, leads his peers by example. This ability or lack of, is a fallacy.

He’s a top half to top 6 Championship CB

Are hipsters still a thing? @mini-x2

Or Skysports super pundit?

Out: Hipsters

 

[Freddie the Greek]

What a signing man.

 

[Lonz]

He’s a model professional.

Well done, Luke.

Donald Love

 

[Quinninho]

Hipster sick? I think most people like him don't they?

There's a contingent on here who think he should be dropped out of the team altogether

 

[ftm1971]

Well done that lad

That defence must be up there with the worst defence ever to play for Sunderland - literally all crap

It’s shockingly bad. 4 of the 5 man midfield plus the striker are playing Championship football this season though.

For League one the goalkeeper, the midfield albeit lightweight and the striker were decent but that defence is awful, I doubt we've ever had a slower player than Loovens.

This is great..but he's not a CH.

2 solid experienced CHs required..not enough cover in the squad, this is where you build from.

Not even counting Luke ( not sure why we wouldn’t like but still) we have 4 centre half’s. That’s before trying to develop someone like crompton. If we buy 2 more centre half’s you probably make Triantis 7th choice.

In fairness, Loovens was 56 when we signed him, Donald Love didn’t have that excuse.

To think, of that team, he was hooked at half time……..

Gunna captain us in the premier league one day. After Neil my favourite player in the squad. If we had 11 LON promotion would be a guarantee

To think Moyes signed him when we were in the Premier League

Keeper was decent.

Yep. He’s now a semi-regular for Morecambe.
