    Fletcher likely to miss Reading game on Tuesday => http://www.sunderlandecho.com/sport/sunderland-afc/safc-news/martin-o-neill-i-m-the-only-man-for-sunderland-1-5212172 (see the last paragraph).

    Disaster of a news for me but many will be delighted.

    Any news on Ba's fitness for tonight?

    Taken from nufc.co.uk:
    NUFC.CO.UK wrote:
    Newcastle - Demba Ba (hamstring), Davide Santon (groin) and Cheick Tiote (hamstring) are all expected to be passed fit following their early withdrawals against Wigan last time out, but there is still a slight doubt over Hatem Ben Arfa (hamstring). James Perch returns from a one-game Premier League suspension, however Steven Taylor (hamstring), Yohan Cabaye (groin), Gabriel Obertan (toe), Dan Gosling (ankle), Haris Vuckic (knee) and Ryan Taylor (knee) are all sidelined.

    Going as feared ...Berba lording it ...Ba starved of the ball. Was going to take a 4 point hit to buy and captain Berba when Ba looked like missing out . Watching through my fingers at the moment :D

    Yep, would love if Fletcher misses out! Rafael coming in for a 9 pointer and I'll be subbing him out this week for Berbs anyway.

    Need Berbs to show some good form tonight (but still only get 2 points!)

    Am thinking of doing the same switch. Hopefully he does nothing tonight - then his price may go down before the next gameweek (hopeful).

    Yeah a lot depends on tonight, he's at 96% to go down. A goal tonight may end that.

    Happy enough for this game to finish 1-0!
