Sunderland signed Max Power from Wigan earlier in the summer.
Sunderland midfielder Max Power might be one of the best signings the Black Cats made in the summer, but the Birkenhead-born man has had a tough time on Wearside so far this term.
Power was sent off for a third time last weekend against Walsall, but a rescinded suspension meant his card at the Bescot Stadium was revoked.
The summer arrival played a big role in Sunderland’s 4-2 win over Barnsley in midweek, but Power said that the past week on Wearside has been the toughest of his career to date in an interview with the Sunderland Echo.
Power said: “It was probably the toughest few days of my career to date, a roller-coaster of emotions as you can imagine
“I’m just delighted I had a bit of justice because it’s been a tough few days mentally. I took a lot of criticism and it’s been tough.
“The thought of being suspended again, until after Christmas, and the mental side of it was tough.”
Aside from his suspensions, Power has been excellent, and the highlights of his time in the North-East have been the back-to-back goals he scored against Gillingham and Scunthorpe in September.
After a tough few days with his relatively new club, Power will be hoping he can now kick on under manager Jack Ross and cement his place as a first-team starter, while also having a long stint in the Black Cats side.
