Ex-Sunderland forward Stephen Elliott tweeted: “Why Ethan Robson hasn’t been given even half a chance in this squad seriously baffles me. He’s miles better than other CMs in the squad. He will probably never be given a go at #safc to prove me right or wrong, which is criminal. That was a horrific performance 1st half!”

A Love Supreme tweeted: “This kind of match we need to work a system that will get 3 players in midfield, we don’t need 3 centre half’s and because whoever brings the ball out has no options we can’t build any attacks out from the back.”

@BarryDixon Barry Dixon tweeted: “Barring a miracle that’s game over. Deserved nowt, looks like going to get nowt.”

@RichSAFC29 Rich29 tweeted: “Nice to see we are going backwards #safc”

@goldys_logic Stephen Goldsmith added: “Pathetic. Absolutely and unbelievably pathetic. As cowardly of a performance as I’ve seen in a long time from a Sunderland team.”

Sunderland are away to Blackpool in League One on Saturday afternoon.
