Chris Coleman won’t care. Neither will the Sunderland fans, who sang and shouted all afternoon. It wasn’t pretty and it certainly wasn’t entertaining, but James Vaughan’s headed goal and George Honeyman’s low finish in the last ten minutes, ticked two boxes for Coleman as he attempts to drag the Black Cats out of the mire. Achievement number one was that the two goals sealed Sunderland’s first win in the league since August. The second box ticked was that it was the club’s first clean sheet since May this year. Two managers have gone in that time - as have a host of players - but Coleman has reasons to be cheerful with the small steps his team are taking at the back and up front. Anyone expecting well-constructed, attacking football would have been bitterly disappointed. Just a glance at the league table - Burton 22nd and Sunderland 24th going into the game - would tell you all you needed to know about these two sides. Tough and turgid would be an apt description - even more so with the arrival of snow, rain and sleet in the second half. But at the same time this was oddly compelling, as neither side was able to take their chances and both looked susceptible when under the cosh. A scoreless first half followed a familiar pattern. Sunderland played out from the back, Burton pressed and hassled until the Black Cats’ defence got fed up of keeping the ball or panicked, and one of John O’Shea or Tyias Browning hoofed it upfield. Possession was squandered, and Burton were only too obliging to attack. Read More News at the link below..
