# Sunderland: Fans slam Josh Scowen as he misses chance

**Many Sunderland fans were left blasting Josh Scowen as he missed a chance in injury time that could have earned his side a draw against Plymouth Argyle.**

As per a [tweet](https://twitter.com/SunderlandAFC/status/1351633907058409479) from the official Twitter page of the Stadium of Light faithful, the central midfield player blazed his shot over the bar after a pull-back from Aiden O’Brien in stoppage time with the score at 2-1, and if he was more accurate with his shot, he may well have earned Lee Johnson’s men a point from the game.

With the Black Cats currently in ninth spot in the EFL League One table on 33 points from 21 games ([BBC](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/league-one/table)), and therefore outside of the promotion places, they surely cannot afford many more slip-ups from now until the end of the 2020/21 term if they want to get promoted up to the Championship, and chances like the one that Scowen missed may end up costing them dearly further down the line.
