" Mick heaps praise on Thornton
SUNDERLAND supremo Mick McCarthy has heaped praise on his enigmatic U21 Irish international Sean Thornton after the Drogheda youngster scored twice in Tuesday's 4-1 Championship win over Rotherham.
"Nobody has put more effort in than me to help Sean get there and I am delighted for him," said McCarthy.
"He will get the plaudits and he deserves them, and he may have started if he had not got booked for diving last week.
"He scored two great free-kicks and is terrific at dead balls. He is an asset to us when he is in the team, but he knows it is about all the other jobs that he needs to do.
"Running back, tracking, tackling, heading and scrapping are what he needs to do and he did it against Rotherham. We know he has got that in his locker and he is a good player. He should look at his overall performance and be proud of himself," added the former Ireland manager"
Nice to see we may have a free kick expert coming through. With defences so well organised these days it will be a vital weapon.
