Last updated : 21 September 2005 By Site Editor
Town were finally undone by an Anthony Le Tallec extra time gaol at the Stadium of Light but Ward was pleased with Town's performance against a Premier League outfit.

"I was really pleased with the performance. After Saturday's defeat at home to Carlisle, it wasn't the best preparation to come here," he said after the game.

"I was after a good performance first and foremost. We had a lot of chasing to do after Sunderland scored but it was very important that we stayed organised.

"It was a very disciplined performance and to have the home fans whistling for the end of the game is a testimony of what we have done."
