Never one to shy away from an opinion, the 57-year-old has suggested the Black Cats’ Championship campaign could end “with a whimper" if they don't find a way of lifting their level of performance.

Rotating his squad has accounted for some of the drop off but even so, the 2-0 defeat at Oxford United was particularly toothless with many of the big names back.
