CHRIS MEPHAM admits things got fiery in the dressing room after a fourth successive defeat.

But the Sunderland defender says unity is the key to turning things around before the play-offs. Regis Le Bris’ side are guaranteed to finish fourth but again showed they are in danger of losing their way when beaten by a side now assured of survival.

The Black Cats headed off to a Portuguese training camp ahead of the final day clash with QPR and Mepham says it’s vital that the players stick together.
