# Sunderland: Fans react to Lee Johnson’s comments

**Fans of Sunderland have been reacting to a post on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/SunderlandAFC/status/1374647424237539328), in which the club relayed the recent comments of the Black Cats manager, Lee Johnson.**

Since being [appointed as Sunderland boss](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/55191991) in December of last year, Johnson has overseen a rather remarkable turnaround in form at the Stadium of Light, with the 39-year-old [winning 11, drawing seven and losing just three](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/lee-johnson/leistungsdatenLigenNational/trainer/28097) of his 21 League One fixtures with the Black Cats thus far – results which include a current run of [13 matches unbeaten](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/afc-sunderland/spielplan/verein/289) in the league – taking the club from [10th](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/league-one/spieltagtabelle/wettbewerb/GB3?saison_id=2020&spieltag=16) to [third place](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/league-one/tabelle/wettbewerb/GB3/saison_id/2020) in the third tier standings.

In reflection of the Sunderland players’ efforts, Johnson [claimed](https://twitter.com/SunderlandAFC/status/1374647424237539328) that his side have “put in a massive shift” in recent weeks, before looking ahead to the club’s upcoming clash with Bristol Rovers, for which the manager believes his side are “fully prepared” and are “ready to put in another energetic and bright performance”.

And, after Sunderland relayed Johnson’s comments on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/colinappleby57/status/1374686119120547844), fans of the club flocked to have their say on the matter, with many heaping a considerable amount of praise on their manager.
