Aiden McGeady cut a frustrated figure when he reflected on Saturday’s display against Queens Park Rangers.
The Republic of Ireland international scored his fourth goal of the season and his third in as many games, yet McGeady feels it was another case of two points dropped as Sunderland earned a share of the spoils against the Hoops.
McGeady levelled at the Stadium of Light with a wonderful strike from the edge of the box in the second period, the second time he has done that in succession following the lads’ last match at Preston North End before the international break.
And speaking to safc.com, the 31-year-old admitted while it’s pleasing to score important goals, three points mean more to him.
“It is obviously disappointing but the fact we didn’t get beat is a bit of a small positive to take from it,” he said.
“It was the same at Preston last week – we probably had the better chances, I had a good chance and probably should have scored it.
“They scored from a set-piece, it is difficult because it just seems at the minute we are going a goal behind or we are having to score two or three goals to win a game.
“It is going to be difficult to pick up points in this league if you have to do that.
“Overall, I thought we were the better team in the second half and probably should’ve taken three points with another couple of chances that we had.
“It is pleasing to score at any time but ultimately I want the team to win. I would rather the team won than score.
“It is good to be chipping in with goals at important times and I want to carry that on as much as I can but ultimately, we want to be winning games,” he continued.
“We are at that stage of the season now when if we don’t start winning games teams will start racing away from us.”
