Jack Ross backs Charlie Wyke to end his Sunderland drought | OneFootball

Sunderland boss Jack Ross is convinced that Charlie Wyke will soon be back in the goals.

Wyke joined the Black Cats in a £1m summer move from Bradford City but the striker has so far managed just one league goal in 16 appearances for his new club.

The 26-year-old missed three great opportunities to add to his tally when he came off the bench in Saturday’s 2-0 win at Bristol Rovers, but Ross is convinced he will take one of his chances soon enough.

“I was really pleased with him when he came on,” Ross told the Sunderland Echo.

“I know people will say that’s easy [to say] because we won the game.

“But I was. His all-round performance when he came on, he got himself into three really good positions, his movement was good.

“He’ll score and I’m desperate for him to score.

“He’s a really good boy, desperate to succeed here. He keeps battering out training to get himself at it, if he gives me that level of performance every time I’ll have no complaints.

“I’ve said that about Will [Grigg] as well, if he does that he will score goals.”
