Whitehead sounds relegation warning
Sunderland skipper Dean Whitehead has warned his team-mates that their Premier League status is precarious.
Whitehead said: "There are plenty of teams, probably the whole of the bottom half and maybe a couple in the top half.
"It's very tight. A couple of wins and you could be out of it, but a couple of bad results and you could be struggling.
"It's a very tight league and we were delighted to get a point on Saturday.
"With the league being so tight, three points is vital, especially against the teams around us.
"But it was vital we went to Middlesbrough and didn't lose - and we were quite unlucky not to win it in the end."
