Sunderland need to get back to winning ways as soon as possible in Sky Bet League One as the Black Cats lost to Portsmouth on Saturday afternoon at Fratton Park.
The men from the Stadium of Light enjoyed a strong January in terms of form to get themselves back into the promotion picture.
Portsmouth, though, ensured their February did not start successfully with a win to keep their own promotion hopes on track and now the Black Cats must regroup.
It was also a tough weekend for the u23 side associated with the men from Wearside, with them losing 4-2 to West Ham.
Several fans have reacted to that news on Twitter, too, with some having a pop at Paul Reid in the process:

That's the trouble when likes of, Honeyman, Gooch, Embleton and Robson have came through into the first team they've not really been replaced yet.

It’s been largely tough going for the u23 side in recent months and Reid has been criticised a fair bit but for now he remains part of the set-up at the academy.
