Anybody know?
We are in real bother if both him and Bramble are out over the next few weeks.

Dislocated shoulder aye?
I'm sure he could play with pain killing injections or something.

Bruce clearly doesn't feel PDS is up to it
I haven't a clue about the PDS situation tbh. Apparently we turned down quite a big bid for him earlier but we never play him![]()
How are we in real bother? We managed without him last night and the defensive partnership will get better with more games. I'm not a fan of Ferdinand and he wasn't great last night but he was far from shocking and for the first time in as long as I can remember we have enough strength in depth to cope with this kind of situation.
Obviously if we lose every game from now until Bramble or Mensah returns feel free to tell me how wrong I was but until then I won't be losing any sleep over the injuries.
hes realised hes not up to it,the settling in excuse cant be wheeled out..this time next season i would'nt be surprised if 3 south americans are goneIt's a strange one like

We did? We let in 2, had 2 cleared off the line, and Beckford blazed over from a golden opportunity.

Aye, we did. All the things you mention didn't count at the end of the day. Bramble playing doesn't equate to the opposition having no shots, or no goals conceded, or no balls being cleared off the line. Spurs were more dangerous than Everton last night in terms of chances created, and that was with Bramble playing.
Bramble has been excellent for us but that's not to say we're doomed without him. Ferdinand was doing fine before he got injured, and he did alright last night as well, perfectly acceptable stand in.

Black Cats boss Steve Bruce said: "We are doing more tests on him. We fear he dislocated his shoulder against Stoke.
"We're still seeing how he is, although we don't think he's going to be operated on. It's still going to be another three weeks."
Ok, maybe I should have said we managed not to get beat!The defence had a couple of dodgy moments but didn't look horrendous. Looking at the games we have coming up I'm not overly worried by the prospect of Ferdinand playing as I think he'll improve from last night and provide steady enough cover until Mensah or Bramble are fit.
