Sbragia warning for Gordon
Sunderland manager Ricky Sbragia has revealed he held talks with a 'worried' Craig Gordon over his role for the remainder of the season.[LNB] Gordon, who joined the Black Cats from Hearts for £9million in 2007, has made just nine Premier League starts this term after struggling with injury.[LNB]Hungarian shot-stopper Marton Fulop has deputised for his Scottish counterpart, and Sbragia has warned Gordon that he is no longer guaranteed a starting berth.[LNB]"He came to see me because he's a bit worried about what is happening in general," said Sbragia.[LNB]"I spoke to him on Friday and told him he will play against Blackburn (in the FA Cup on Wednesday), it gives him that match experience as well.[LNB]"Marton has done extremely well and is keeping the others out and long may it continue.[LNB]"Craig knows he has a fight on his hands now. Before he probably thought he would walk in automatically, but we need competition in every area on the field.[LNB]"That has come out of the blue, with Marton coming in and doing so well."[LNB]
