Football / Preston v Sunderland

« on: January 07, 2007, 07:18:32 PM »

Carlos Edwards has made his sunderland debut but you may have seen that we lost at the weekend, but the team played well and were a bit unlucky not to go further.

Preston striker Brett Ormerod scored his fifth goal of the season from Callum Davidson's through ball just after the half hour. Liam Miller was sent off for two bookable offences shortly after and while they pressed and pressed, Sunderland never really looked like creating a chance that would get them something out of the tie.

Keane said: "We're disappointed and we felt we deserved to get something out of the game but it wasn't to be.

"Considering we only had 10 men we had lots of possession, and we had one or two half chances towards the end.

"It can be a cruel game sometimes and it's been a cruel day for us today because I thought the players were outstanding.

"We made one mistake, playing the offside for the goal, and we got punished for it. You've got to give Preston credit because they didn't have too many chances but they took it."

Keane was pleased with the contributions of new signings Jonny Evans and Carlos Edwards and is hopeful of adding more new faces before the end of January.

He also refused to attach any blame for the defeat on Miller, who was sent off for a crude lunge on Ormerod and then a block on David Nugent.

He added: "I had no problems with the sending off. He set himself up because there were two (other players) there for the first yellow card so he didn't have to dive in.

"But Liam's probably feeling bad enough as it is and he doesn't need me coming down hard on him.

"Jonny was outstanding and Carlos did well when he came on. Hopefully they'll feel the benefits of that. We're delighted with those two."

Preston boss Paul Simpson agreed that his side had not made it easy for themselves but was content to be in the hat for the fourth round draw.

He said: "It was hard work and we made it hard work. It was one of those games when a team goes down to 10 men, they raised all their levels and unfortunately we dropped ours a little bit.

"But in the FA Cup the only thing you concern yourself with is you make sure you get into the next round and I'm delighted to say we've done it.

"They pushed us all the way and they've probably gone away a bit gutted that they haven't got anything out of it."

Ormerod squandered three other good chances and Simpson admitted it could have been far more comfortable.

He continued: "The one he took was probably the hardest of them all but on another day he could have gone away with the match ball.

"While we looked leggy and tired and we made it hard for ourselves we could have had an emphatic 3-0 or 4-0 victory."

Football / Edwards in FA Cup this weekend.

Players' return a boost/ News / News Archive / Players' return a boost /

By Nick Alexander http://www.safc.com/index.php?page_id=11380

Carlos Edwards could make his Sunderland debut in Saturday's FA Cup tie at Preston.

Edwards, the Trinidad and Tobago midfielder, completed a £1.5m move to the Stadium of Light from Luton this week and will go straight into Roy Keane's squad for the game.

Boss Keane will have a reinforced squad for the third-round tie at Deepdale.

Jon Stead, Tommy Miller, Andy Welsh, William Mocquet, Arnau, Clive Clarke, Neill Collins and Kevin Smith are all back at the Stadium of Light after completing loan spells with various clubs.

And only Smith cannot play at Preston - he featured for Wrexham in the earlier rounds of this season's FA Cup.

The loan players' return acts as a timely boost to Sunderland who have a number of injury problems.

Steve Caldwell, Nyron Nosworthy and Graham Kavanagh are out of the game while Danny Collins has an outside chance of recovering from a hamstring injury.

Kenny Cunningham and Stephen Wright are both easing their way back into full training after long-term lay-offs, but Saturday's third-round tie will come too soon for them.

All the best Carlos, here's hoping you get off to a flyer.

Football / Another great football website - SMB

This is a great site, loved reading some opinions of our new signing. Thought yous might like to visit Englands greatest football forum.
The SMB, which either stands for sunderland message board, or sexy mackem bastards - depending who you ask.
There are some posters who really know there stuff; but the majority know f**k all though make it a cracking read all the same. Some of the 'Gold' threads are hilarious.

For those of you who don't know much about Sunderland - its an emotional club to follow. We should see the good times return soon under Keanes leadership. Its not that long ago since we were a consistent premiership side. As you would guess with this signing, there is investment coming from the new owners - former player and absolute hero Niall Quinn (& a consortium.)

Sunderland has a massive fanbase - larger than many prem sides. There were 40k watching boxing day, and numbers are slowly on the rise. there are some good vids on you tube to give you an idea of the buzz at our games. Our fans are a big part of the reason many players move here. We aren't easy pleased tho' and demand premiership football again soon. Hope to see some of you on our site.
