Sunderland are looking in dire straits at the moment as the woes under Phil Parkinson continue to mount and fans are beginning to lose some patience with him already.
The men from Wearside were hoping that this season they would make no mistake and just get themselves into the Championship but, right now, they are looking on course for another battle to make the play-offs more than anything else.
Indeed, the recent misery was compounded last night by losing in the EFL Trophy to lowly Scunthorpe United with the Iron beating the Black Cats pretty convincingly with a 3-0 scoreline.
Worrying times for Phil Parkinson, then, and he has urged his side to stick together through this current moment in time, though that is clearly easier said than done.
For a fanbase that has seen so much go wrong in recent years, these latest comments already are appearing to wear thin:
