// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Sunderland manager Steve Bruce believes Fraizer Campbell, Darren Bent and Kenwyne Jones can all play in the same side.[LNB] Bent and Jones have started the season in prolific goalscoring form but Bruce has also been hugely impressed by the performances of Campbell.[LNB]The former Manchester United youngster, who joined the Black Cats over the summer, has regularly come off the bench to make a big impact in games.[LNB]Campbell has also had opportunities in the starting XI and Bruce insists he is regarded as more than just a back-up to Bent and Jones.[LNB]Asked whether the three forwards could play together, Bruce told the Northern Echo: "It's a possibility. [LNB]"I've always got it in mind too that he (Campbell) can play on the right-hand side and he can get you goals. [LNB]"Fraizer's done very, very well indeed and has played particularly well in a couple of games. I haven't really had a partnership as such, however in the last two games both (Bent and Jones) scored, which highlighted that. [LNB]Lively"Fraizer's got a big part to play in the season. I'm convinced of that, because there will come a time when they might need freshening up or they might need a month off. [LNB]"Hopefully with Fraizer we've got that option as well."[LNB]Bruce has been delighted with the speed of Campbell's development but feels there is still room for improvement.[LNB]"He's got a lot of maturing and a lot of growing to do but he'll be a big player for this football club, I'm convinced of that," he said.[LNB]"He's been involved in every game we've played and he's had a big impact even if he hasn't scored the goals. [LNB]"He's given the team an injection because he's a little different, he's lively."[LNB]
