Sunderland v Boro

[kev]

Could really do with a win but with Bardsley (definately) and Evans (probably) out not going to be easy.  Close my eyes and hope time has arrived.

Phil Bardsley misses the game with a knee injury while Jonny Evans is described by Roy Keane, the manager, as having a "50-50" chance to play.

Evans, who has a hamstring injury, hoped to return to training today.

Roy Keane said: "Jonny and Bardo are important defenders and we miss them but I don't want to make too much of the injured lads.

"The likes of Hartey, Danny Higginbotham, Paul McShane, they will have a chance of being involved because of the injuries and hopefully they won't let anyone down, we've great confidence in them."

Dwight Yorke is back in training and could feature while Danny Higginbotham, Paul McShane, Ian Harte, Grant Leadbitter and Anthony Stokes all hoped to be in the squad.

Ross Wallace trained with the first team today after scoring a hat-trick in a comeback game for the reserves in midweek. He has an outside chance of being involved.

Dickson Etuhu, Rade Prica, Darren Ward and David Connolly are injured.

For Boro,  Mark Schwarzer could return after recovering from a back problem, but fellow goalkeeper Ross Turnbull (back) is a fresh doubt.

Robert Huth's foot problem remains a concern, while Gary O'Neil (knee) and Mido (hernia) are long term absentees.

Boro have won their last three visits to the Stadium of Light.

I think a victory tomorrow will make the Black Cats all but safe. FSC & SportsMax are showing the game so we could finally see a Sunderland game without the hassle of the internet. Go lads.

[capodetutticapi]

KJ to score ah couple.

Yea, the unavailability of Bardsley and Evans could again mean a shaky defense.  A win ( for Sunderland ) is always good, but a loss in all likelihood  is not disastrous.

[just cool]

I have three things to say, higginbottom & MC sh!tsnake, is the dynamic duo (distrcutive duo).

that is one thing you said, where the next 2 things you had to say?   

[Dinner Mints]

Higginbotham isn't that bad. He's a competent defender and decent backup for Nosworthy or Evans. It's just the combination of him and McShane in the middle that left its stain on him.

first 5 minutes, Nosworthy fall asleep on the offside trap and let Tuncay sneak in for a one on one with Gordon.

Right afterwards, KJ set up Chopra and a defender slide in and block a sure goal. Boro keeper clear the ball out Collins get it and swing in a cross textbook header from Higginbotham, keeper beaten all ends up.
