Will things get better now Cattermole has returned?

There is no denying that the club have missed their combative midfielder both in terms of the effort he puts in on the field and the leadership he shows.

Now Cattermole is back and seems to have thrown his full weight behind his manager who he is tipping to take the cub forward.

Poyet may not have a future at the Stadium of Light, but Cattermole certainly does and keeping him fit for the rest of the season will be vital to their hopes of staying up.
