    They weren’t the only ones. Go back and have a read what the Sunderland fans were saying about him in that first season. Oh for the days when we had a 20+ goals a season striker, 15 would be good. If you don’t have that you tend not to go up.

    McGeady is too good for league 1, his salary will be eye watering for that level too.

    Too group good for L1 but only when he feels like it is what A Black Cats fanatic told me. You're right about his salary, they've tried to get rid several times in the last 2 years but he's refused offers as they were too low. This was the case with a lot of their playing staff, happy to sit in the stand and read their Bank statements.

    Exactly. And 14 assists to a striker who is leading the scoring charts, shows that he justifies his wage. Take him away, and maybe they wouldn’t be pushing for promotion.

    They've been questioning his signing until he hits a wonder strike like he did tonight, saying he drops to deep and doesn't do enough. But no matter what level thats what you get with Rowe, a player who offers little in terms of a team game but every so often will hit a worldy that temporarily makes you forget all his other inadequacies.

    Wouldn't even say it's a wonder strike. If the wall stays still it doesn't go in. 30 yard grubber through the hole where two players moved out the wall. Never did enough on the pitch to warrant a start, he must of tried that long ranger about 10 times for us? Cant remember any ever even hitting the target.

    Perhaps no longer the wonder goal machine? A single goal this season (but two bookings).

    So easy just lost his marker and a simple near post header, I didn't realise he'd been injured for a while I was under the impression he'd had a fall out with Chesterfield but the commentator said it was the first time he'd played back to back games since last October.

    And provides the assist for their second vital goal,

    Chooses his moments, would never fit in here.
    I think the reason he was out of action for so long was due to a heart problem that we knew about so were happy to move him on?

    Athletically he's borderline unprofessional.

    I'm not surprised he spent so much time in non league.

    Just not cut out to be a career pro, IMO.

    Got some ability.
