Even so, there was some cause for optimism as the Black Cats held their own against their Championship opponents.
Here's how fans reacted on social media.
@LukeHodgson8: Ozturk scares me every time he goes near the ball and Gooch needs to learn how to pass the ball, no final ball at all from anyone in the team #SAFC

Hide Ad@HodgeSAFC: Pleased with the overall performance despite the result. Lots of positives to take. We desperately need Wyke back though! #SAFC
@boxing_buddy: Played well tonight but you need a cutting edge up front. This will and should hasten a loan signing up top. Hopefully ozturk is used sparingly, he's a accident waiting to happen. #safc
@Distillerymad: I know it’s only three games into the season but Alim Ozturk just doesn’t seem to be good enough at all #SAFC
@dm9jnr: take nothing away from us we’ve played really well unlucky with them goals #safc

Hide Ad@Andy_Mc_4: Ah well, hate losing any game but played some decent stuff, just need Wyke and Sinclair back. League is the priority. Impressed with Hume out of the young lads! #SAFC
@davidlaing93: I know we’ve lost tonight but there are far more positives than negatives to take away. @mp_1825 (Max Power) and @LukeONien will only get better, Maguire looks a very good player. We’ve been good tonight #safc
@Grassiman: In all seriousness the league Cup is the last of our problems. But the reality check of having a complete no show of a striker that we so needed tonight is quite alarming. Keep the faith. #safc
@DeanScrimgour: Definitely lacking in some experience upfront, played well tonight apart from ozturk! Max Power looks a tidy player, Denver Hume MOTM for me #safc
@Coonsy27: We’ve been far the better side on the ball tonight just lacked a forward. Wednesday have lumped their way to victory. Far too much rolling around on the deck too #SAFC
