'More cash for the club!': Sunderland fans react as unbeaten run stretches to TEN games

The Black Cats were made to battle for victory, with their League Two hosts proving a more than worthy foe in a closely-fought encounter.

After racing into a 2-0 lead, Sunderland were made to defend for the majority of the second half after Tom Pope reduced the deficit before the break.

@SAFCFANSVIEW commented: "Underwhelmed by our top point of attack again today. Sinclair not really hit it off at all for us, Maja also looks very easy to play against anywhere outside the 18yd box. Could say the same for the whole season."
