O'Shea: Sunderland need consistency

Republic of Ireland defender John O'Shea is confident a consistent run of games will help Sunderland's flair players rediscover their form and spark a push up the Premier League table.

The Black Cats emerged from yesterday's derby clash with 10-man Newcastle having rescued a point they did not look like claiming until Demba Ba's 85th-minute own goal to spare them further punishment by their arch-rivals.
