Guthrie Ready For The Mackems

Ex-Newcastle United midfielder Danny Guthrie faces the intimidating Sunderland crowd at the Stadium Of Shite this weekend. The former Toon player scored his first senior goal to put Royals into a 2-1 lead at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday, and he is likely to receive a hostile welcome back to the North East. Danny Guthrie: “It will be nice to go there. "I've played there a couple of times and it’s a harsh environment, but it’s just another game and it’s about the team. “We need to pick ourselves up quickly as we have a big game tomorrow. “To come out of the game against Chelsea, after playing so well for an hour, is really difficult to take. “We put ourselves in a great position, but we have to learn from it. “It’s always nice to score, but it’s difficult to take as you don’t find yourself 2-1 up at Chelsea very often and unfortunately we let it go. “It has to be a learning experience and we have to learn to see a game out. “We gave Chelsea a right good game and could have even been 3-1 up at half time. We could have sat back, but we put ourselves about and broke well - we gave them a fright.”
