‘Infuriating at times’ Some Sunderland fans want more from one key player

‘Infuriating at times’: Some Sunderland fans want more from one key player. Josh Maja scored for Sunderland against Bristol Rovers. Sunderland fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Josh Maja against Bristol Rovers at the Stadium of Light on Saturday afternoon. Maja featured for Sunderland in their 2-1 win against Rovers at home in League One. The 19-year-old forward scored in the 49th minute of the match, and it proved to be the winning goal. The youngster has made 18 starts and two substitute appearances in League One for Sunderland so far this season, scoring 12 goals in the process, according to WhoScored. Against Rovers on Saturday afternoon, Maja could have done better in terms of attempts and link-up play, but the youngster scored the all-important winning goal. The win means that Jack Ross’s side are now third in the League One table with 43 points from 20 matches, five points behind leaders Portsmouth, who have played 22 games. Sunderland fans were pleased with the performance of Maja, but some want the 19-year-old forward to add more to his game. Below are some of the best comments on Twitter: My take on the Maja stuff. For me if his hold up play was better Ross would keep him on the field, rarely if we are winning does he play 90 mins and that surely comes down to his work rate. On the other hand he bangs goals what he's there to DO #SAFC Josh Maja’s finishing is mad. As soon as he got the ball in the box there was no doubt he would score. Don’t want to criticise but wish he could do everything else! #safc Models his game around Defoe, easy to tell when you watch him A great comeback for Sunderland today, to beat Bristol Rovers 2-1. Still 3rd though, but with two games in hand... It shows just how important Josh Maja is to the team. We've got to keep hold of him next month... #safc #HawayTheLads We need to get that Maja contract tied up, can’t see why he wouldn’t. If he keeps banging them in, we get promoted, it’s win win. #safc I really hope we don’t lose Maja and Gooch in January. It’ll be similar to last year when we lost Grabben, love or hate him, we struggled for goals in the second part of last season and look what happened Josh Maja has a few holes in his game which could improve like but he’s class for us at this level. I hope he stays and turns into the striker he has the potential to be #SAFC josh maja keeps getting better and better each game #SAFC McGeady & Maja are both infuriating at times but can’t complain with their contribution this season - 19 goals between them and think that puts McGeady on 5 assists now?! https://t.co/BRGEDRowOA
