Dan James a doubt as well. Boro got spanked down there in the Carabao semi final and so will we with our second string. No big deal and let's just hope no one gets injured.

Once there we all spend a fortune on tickets, trains, flights & hotels to see us qualify for the Final. We then all break the bank to get back to Wembley and only to see us spanked 6-0 by Man City. If only we had a resident Sunderland fan on the board who could give us all hope
