Please tell me what Sorrynola brings to the table?

Russell's breakfast every morning, at 06:30 on the dot. Probably.

The game didn't have the intensity that we had shown in the three or four games prior and I was worried about the tempo in the first half. Luckily enough their player helped out with a ridiculous two footer on Cooper and from then on it was if we could take advantage of the extra man or not.

Tempo improved noticeably in the second half and one moment of poor defending aside (which typically they scored from) we were in control and a few wrong decisions in attacking areas aside I thought we were deserved winners.

Still stand by my assessment that we need an upgrade on Lati, but I have been saying that since the start of last season.

Russel Martin FC get a huge 3 points away to Sunderland.

Russel has steered himself away from the sack zone

Patience was key today. It’s rarely easy going against ten men when away from home, got to play the long game and not panic. I think we played it pretty well, didn’t go hung ho in the first half and waited for the inevitable chances in the second half. Great result on the road.

You and almost everyone else. Lati isn’t a right back / right wing back and Martin clearly doesn’t fancy the other options at his disposal. We were exposed today in the position for their goal (although the lack of marking also didn’t help).

Unfortunately the unescapable truth is Martin rates him, and that’s the frightening bit.
Sorinola was the same, until recently.
He’s no fullback and certainly not a wingback, and believe it or not he thinks he’s worth a pay raise!!
In the financial world you and me are currently living in,You literally couldn’t make it up!
Wake up Lati bad oh dear, you ain’t good enough for one.
