He made a mistake last week but in training  this week he's back to his best again.[LNB]'He's young but he's got the ability not to let what happened last week affect him. That's what goalkeepers are all about. They are going to make mistakes, even the great ones, it's about how you respond and making sure you don't make any more.'[LNB] Sbragia leaves Sunderland... two years after they sacked him as boss!Sunderland confirm Campbell will miss majority of next season after knee op All the latest Sunderland news, features and opinion[LNB]  Explore more:People: Steve Bruce, Craig Gordon Places: Birmingham
