'We won't get out of League One!': Sunderland fans offer damning verdict after Coventry City defeat

Matt Godden’s strike after just 95 seconds won the game for the Sky Blues, and fans of the Black Cats delivered a damning verdict on social media after defeat on the road.

Here’s what they had to say:

@RyanClose19 said: “It’s games like this when u realise that our players are still not good enough for promotion”

@aimeegordon_x added: “Trying to rush and force the play, causing us to play bad balls and loose possession”

@petefeet67 commented: “only issue I have with parky is his reluctance to make subs and change things early enough”

@deanscrimgour1 tweeted: “Sunderland resemble England, excellent against the so called lesser teams, then fail to turn up in the same form against the better teams”

@Kingy78_ posted: “The standard of league one is horrific, had probably the better of the first half but missed one if not two sitters.”

@samsonplace added: “We look the play off team we are. If we have any wish to go up automatically the team needs changing #safc”

@Philip_RJ89 said: “Dull, uninspired, flat, and toothless in attack. This feels more like a mid-table affair than a potential promotion decider. Far too many sub-standard performances from our players”

@MaxHanaghan suggested: “To me this shows why, despite the decent run, we need to change it up. We're getting very stale. Hume needs taking out of firing line, gooch is very out of form, the CM is poor, and how long do you go with a non goal scoring centre forward!?”

@karaokeking72 posted: “On this showing we won’t get out of league 1 this season...fact”

@RGHanson93 commented: “Lost count of how many penalties Luke O'Nien should've won this year. Seems to be fouled every week”

@brettd1981 tweeted: “I've said for weeks we should be using our squad, we looked shattered and out of ideas on Tuesday and I think this is more of the same”
