Crowd 390
Contrary to some of the reports above.....United really battered Sunderland with their keeper having to make over half a dozen saves to keep United at bay. It was only when Sunderland equalised in the last few minutes of normal time did they start to pressure on. In fact Zieler didn't need to make a save until the end......United's defence was well in control and we had most of the play in extra time. Sunderland did miss two sitters though!
The links give the team line up.........but injuries as follows
Jon Evans....groin strain....came off just after half time after telling McGuinness he wanted to play....good performance!!
Other notes..
Darron Gibson.....bone graft operation on hand at Christmas ....back in training
Michael Lea.....thigh injury.....out for a while
Corry Evans.....Pinched nerve in back...out for a while
Lee Crockett.....recovered from broken collar bone...ready to return
Richard Eckersley...still struggling with back injury...out for a while
Other news......
.......Michael Barnes only signed until end of season
........Daniel Galbraith has signed.......
....further to reports earlier...United have NOT signed a lad from Bradford
