McCarthy Praise For Davis

Last updated : 25 February 2006 By Site Editor
The Sunderland keeper produced a string of good saves to keep Sunderland in the game at 1-0.

"For the first 39 minutes there was nothing to choose between the two teams. I thought Kelvin Davis had an outstanding game with three great saves.

"Birmingham got the goal and that was the major difference at the end of the day.

"Time and games are running out but you don't just pack up.

"The lads haven't dropped their heads. I was involved two years ago when far bigger names were playing and they tossed in the towel.

"The result may be inevitable but these lads keep going.

"Saying that, there is not much difference between us and the other strugglers.
