The Black Cats go into tomorrow night's play-off semi-final first leg at Coventry having lost their past five games.

But head coach Le Bris is unconcerned about their poor form and lack of goals. He is adamant the real Sunderland will show up against the Sky Blues, insisting there were mitigating circumstances surrounding recent team performances.
