Sunderland are in trouble
Ever get the feeling it just not your day/week/month/season?That what martin o and his players, must surely be thinking after the week they just endured.

The capital one cup exit at the hands of a useful and vibrant middlesbrough team last week was a massive blow.Local bragging rights aside, this was a competition sunderland were looking at with serious intent.

O won it four times as player and manager, and he recognised, like every sunderland fan, the possibility of winning it this season.He might not also know that it would have put an end to the newcastle 'have you ever seen a mackem in milan chants.

Lifting the first trophy since 1973 was a considerable way off, as tony mowbray acknowledged after his side were handed their 13th away cup draw in a row and given a trip to swansea for next month quarterfinal.

But last eight, semifinals and wembley in touching distance would all have helped lift the doom which has unexpectedly engulfed the stadium of light this season.

Sunderland then followed that with a home defeat to an aston villa side, who were reckoned to be really struggling and were three points behind them and without an away win all season.

And they probably deserved it too.If lee cattermole drive had flown a few inches lower, the first half, and outcome, might have been very different.But sunderland are not having a lot of luck on top of stephane sessegnon, adam johnson and james mcclean inexplicably and collectively being unable to deliver.

Villa just looked the bigger threat and once gabriel agbonlahor had ended a 28league game wait for his goal, sunderland never looked likely to equalise, for all their desperation and kitchensink style attacking play.

On top of all this, james mcfadden signed last week and in hindsight might have been a fairytale in waiting on the bench but was overlooked for the latter stages of the boro defeat for the mcclean.But now he looks likely to miss out on the opportunity to impress for the next two months after suffering a hamstring injury on thursday.It never rains.

This is all a serious test for o who has asked for time to be judged and pointed out he endured similar difficulties in the early stages of management at leicester and villa.Even winning titles at celtic didn come without its setbacks.

And he will know he has to get it right quickly.Just four points above third from bottom reading, who are the home game in hand next month, sunderland have a hectic and challenging period ahead.

You try And work out wHere tHe points Are coming from.THey fAce fulHAm(A), West Brom And QPR(H), Norwich(A)Before they really get into december.

THey tHen HAve cHelseA(H)Before tHe reAding remAtcH, followed by mAncHester united(A), SoutHAmpton(A)And on boxing day mancHester city(H)Before tHe montH ends witH tottenHam(H).

Testing times for toonalan pardew is also counting the cost of last week.

His newcastle side came so close to ending Pandora Charms UK their anfield hoodoo, but what he'd give for a point and a clean bill of health after sunday 11 draw.

Instead, demba ba, yohan cabaye and james perch the type of newcastle players(Yes, perch included)Who sir bobby robson would have put in his blue chip brigade departed with injuries likely to leave them out of action for a few weeks.

And captain fabricio coloccini uncharacteristic moment of madness, even if he did try to pull out of a fullscale assault on luis suarez, has ruled him out of three barclays premier league games.He is always missed.

The downside of the deserved qualification to the europa league was always going to be the test to the newcastle squad.And at the beginning of the season, pardew made no secret of his desire to see his fringe and younger players using the competition as a springboard to fullscale league involvement.

Pardew has used his men well and they sit top of their group, knowing a win in bruges this week, and a favourable result between maritimo and bordeaux, puts them in next year knockout phase.Progress indeed.

Thousands will make the trip to belgium on thursday, many without tickets, in a real show of force to mark newcastle return to european action.Bruges is considerably easier, and cheaper, to get to than mauritius and athens.

Those who will be inside the jan breydel stadium will not want to leave disappointed.This is the belgian side last chance, and they will want to make an impression on home turf and end a run of six games without a win which cost seasoned campaigner george leekens his job this week.They are likely to face a vastly inexperienced newcastle team but the pressure is on the home side and caretaker coach philippe clement.It promises to be a testing night.

With points in the bag, newcastle can afford a defeat.Maritimo at st james park is an entirely different proposition in a fortnight and could prove to be the night for qualification.After that it is bordeaux, when the majority of fans might appreciate the option of saving some money.

One criticism from supporters during the summer, was the lack of new signings.The new numbers of players alone didn match up.

The board believed they had the resources, and pardew has never suggested he is unhappy with the cards he has been dealt.But this month tests the squad to the absolute limit and presents challenges he could do without as he looks to gain a stronger presence in the premier league.

Newcastle have two months to get to the january transfer window.How they deal with its opening may depend on whether they limp or leap into the new year.
Workington Town coach Charlton turns attention to league after cup exit

Sunday big west cumbrian derby at the recreation ground(Noon ko)And the prospect of a possible eighth straight win over the old enemy is enough to dispel the disappointment of the trophy exit.

Been good to get a run in the competition but all season our main target has been to make sure we finish in a safe position in the championship.

Aren good enough to exploit chances we create and although the defence was good for the most part there were crucial times when we were broken too easily, was his verdict after the 304 quarterfinal defeat.

Town had gone into the game without three inform forwards jordan walne, who was ill and skipper jarrad stack and karl olstrum who were both nursing knocks.

Were also without any dualregistration players after being told late on that we couldn use anybody who hadn played in the previous round, said charlton.
