The latest Birmingham City news from BirminghamLive as Tony Mowbray prepares to face his former club
[www.birminghammail.co.uk]
As to whether Blues have an advantage with Mowbray’s insight into the Black Cats players, Beale said: "I think we'll find out after the game. It's clear that he knows our players. Maybe there will be one or two that have a point to prove to him.
"What I would say is there is a lot of respect for Tony Mowbray here at Sunderland and I think the fans will show that and I think the players will show that to him and the staff who worked with him.”
Rattled.
We will win Saturday.
Alternatively, it’s a completely calm, honest and fair assessment ahead of the game.
He’s been respectful to Mowbray and fired his own players up.
How you interpret that as rattled, I have no idea.
All about opinions though of course.
