WHO did what against Sunderland
(3-5-2)
KEVIN POOLE...6
The stand-in 'keeper made crucial saves from Phillips and Oster, and was in control although had a few jitters at the end.
ANTHONY BARNESS...6
Captain for the day did not show the same solidity as usual, and almost gifted Phillips a goal towards the end.
IVAN CAMPO...7
Assured performance in the heart of defence. Excellent distribution meant he was the first point of attack.
DANNY LIVESEY...6
Competent in looking after the very different threats of Phillips and Kyle.
NICKY HUNT...6
Was booked in the first half and keen to get involved, even if he did not have the effect of Smith.
JEFF SMITH...8
A superb display. Full of life, eager to reach the by-line, take players on, and not afraid of cutting inside.
AKIN BULENT...6
Played the holding role in centre of midfield, but also showed a good range of passes.
STIG TOFTING...7
The Dane was all over the place and dominated the midfield during the first half. Seemed to thrive with the extra responsibility he was given.
GARETH FARRELLY...6
Defended well but always looking to get up front, managed 90 minutes after his injury problem.
DELROY FACEY...8
Great touches and worked his socks off until the end, wants to score but looking to get involved in build-up play.
MICHAEL RICKETTS...7
Another goal and could have had many more as he got in so many good positions. Good in the air and hungry for goals.
SUBS: Kevin Nolan (for Tofting 73 mins, 6), Jay Jay Okocha (for Bulent 73 mins, 6), Mike Whitlow (for Livesey 73 mins, 6). Not used: Jonathan Walters, Jussi Jaaskelainen
