- 19.30 Tony Mowbray: "I think the time has come for Curtis Main, who is scoring goals quite freely for the development team, to get on the pitch. I have told him he will find it a lot tougher. The defenders he’ll be coming up against here will be tougher, faster and cleverer. Sometimes you have to throw them into the sea to see if they can swim. Curtis has got the physical attributes – he’s got the power and he’s got the pace."
- 19.25 The form of both teams leading into tonight's match is wildly contrasting. Tony Mowbray's men have won once in eight league and cup matches - the third round triumph against Shrewsbury. The Black Cats have won eight, drawn two and lost two of the 12 matches under Martin O'Neill.

injury time !
Who are you people at yahoo ?
I think Sunderland will miss Martin O'Neil when he is appointed the new England manager. HOPEFULLY thinking!!!!
Maxcome on ipswich beeat the jerks
Footmanpub---it's goals that count---in any game/competition!
SDtatistics will only say who won---not how--or if they were "lucky"!
Many teams have had 90% of play/possession--only to lose a match---including Sunderland---that's football--and hopefully it will always be so!Tony-try not to choke on your PG tips !
Boro played amazing, fabulous to see such a home grown team playing from their roots and their heart
Boro done well, got men behind the ball to try and stop us and snatched a goal, but in the end the better team won, even though we werent at our best, the sad geordies may get their predictions right in the next round,Arsenal will be tough !! Nice to be there to have a chance though eh! my sad magpie friends !!
