unique 466 Posted January 28, 2012 I''m not so sure that Martin O''Neil will be afforded the same luxury as PL when it comes to resting some of his squad for the 4th Round FA Cup tie.A full-blooded derby, played one day nearer to Wednesday, a game their fans won''t want to write off.....Surely this can only help the Norwich cause for Wednesday?

Cantiaci Canary 610 Posted January 28, 2012 What will play into Sunderland''s hands though is the fact that we have to travel to the Midlands and back and then to the North East in under 5 days. The last time Sunderland hit the road was over two weeks ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ozbarclay 0 Posted January 28, 2012 Could be a factor...but it''s really not very far is it??You should have a look how far the Australian teams travel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacko 0 Posted January 28, 2012 I would imagine they are going to fly to Sunderland, so the travelling shouldn''t be a massive factor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First Wizard 0 Posted January 28, 2012 You can''t ignore the O''Neil factor in this, remember, he taught Lambert to walk on water! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
