Second half far better.
Sess the best player, evans a close second.
Mcclean - good games tries really hard, probably his best performance.
Back home in Somerset and was going to add my views but I think the above is spot on.
I wasn't convinced about signing Evans but he impressed me today - reminded a little of an old time favorite, Martyn Bennett.
Sess carried the game to Sunderland and actually made things happen.
I saw the Mcclean incident as him acknowledging the East stand before turning to the away fans and performing a single, enthusiastic fist pump. Graham responded by pushing him in the chest, other Sunderland players headed towards him, then Albion players sprinted over to assist Mcclean. (That Lambert has some pace). If it had happened in 'normal play' I would see it as a yellow for Mcclean and a red for Graham.
So a decent 45 mins, 3 very welcome points, and I quite enjoyed the Fan Zone.
