Corry Evans believes Championship clubs will be 'frightened' of Sunderland's lethal strikepairing of Ross Stewart and Ellis Simms. The duo have already scored three goals apiece, with Stewart having started all six of the Black Cats' Championship games and on-loan Everton man Simms having begun five.
And they could have have added to their hauls at the weekend, with the woodwork denying both men in the second half of the 1-0 defeat at the hands of Norwich City at the Stadium of Light - a game which Sunderland entered into with no head coach in place, with Alex Neil's departure to take over at Stoke City later confirmed on Sunday evening. Experienced Northern Ireland international Evans made his 250th Championship appearance at the weekend and knows the division inside out, and he feels every club has good reason to be wary of Stewart and Simms.
"Any team is probably frightened of those two at the moment, with the form they are in," said Evans. "They can make a bad ball into a good ball, and they are a threat against anyone.
