Sunderland take on Burton Albion this evening as they look to get themselves an important win and get back among the play-off challengers.
They’re not that far adrift of the top six points-wise but when you look at performances and confidence in the last few weeks, they are well below where they need to be.
Up next, then, a game against a Brewers side that won’t make it easy for the Black Cats but with the men from Wearside being at home, they should really feel as though they can get a victory.
Even so, Phil Parkinson has been talking about the idea that the Stadium of Light may be proving too difficult to play in at the moment, though he has said that that is an excuse and that his players shouldn’t be using it.
Clearly, though, there is a lack of confidence at the club and this update has fans talking on Twitter in response.
Let’s see what has been said:
Oh yes, this old chestnut. That’s why our away form is so good eh.

You need to set them up more positively, not be scared of the likes of Coventry
