Connor Wickham will bear no grudges after scoring five goals in six starts for relegation threatened Sunderland since his return from a loan spell at Championship Leeds. The 21 year old said: "I have said all the time, I just want to play football and if I play football.
"I played numerous games at (Sheffield) Wednesday and Leeds - I didn't manage to score at Leeds, but at Wednesday, I was in the same form and it's been recognised for me just to come back in time, score some goals and just to show the manager I have got what it takes.
"But I am not going to dwell on the past, I am not going to hold any grudges. I am here now, I am scoring goals and we are moving up the table, so me and the rest of the team are really happy."
Wickham added: "I came back and the manager said 'Just go and do what you do' and at the end of the day, I am just doing what I get paid to do. I am playing football and thankfully, I am scoring goals."
