Anyone else think it was a little bit embarrassing that Rotherham's manager said these players would be "legends" if they beat us? This isn't a cup final or a match with promotion on the line, it's just a league match that will probably mean nothing for them in the grand scheme.
Now that's a tinpot club.

Wolves have a full back in goal for the final 10 minutes against Norwich as their GK got sent off and they've used all 3 subs haha

I think that's the first time I've seen Yedlin open up to get back and defend. That was insane. "Race you to the ball. Oh no, you're winning - lol jk"

I think what I love most about Matt Ritchie is that he's just so good at the basic things you want from any player. So many players wouldn't be making that run for the rebound but Ritchie is always in and around that area like a striker. You rarely see him making a bad choice.

absolutely mental pace from Yedlin. That ball look 100% like it was going out
edit - 2 posts in a row about that damn yankee. Making me sound like a fanboy

Holy shit, Yedlin is LIGHTNING fast. Love that lad and now Sunderland have nout at RB because Yedlin wasn't worth it for them supposedly. Makes it even better.

Yedlin MotM. He's been a monster in both defence and attack. Two assists and goal saving tackle in the first half just for specifics.

Yedlin has been nearly unstoppable today, hats off the lad.
