Sunderland face Watford on their travels this weekend.
Sunderland supporters have delivered an overwhelming message to head coach Regis Le Bris regarding his defensive team selection ahead of Saturday’s Championship clash with Watford.
The Black Cats head into the weekend off the back of a 1-0 win over Middlesbrough last time out, and currently occupy an automatic promotion spot after recording five victories in six league outings. Their most recent success at the Stadium of Light came with a centre-back pairing comprised of Black Cats stalwart Luke O’Nien and loanee debutant Chris Mepham, with the latter in particular catching the eye during an assured display.
Usual first choice option Dan Ballard started the match on the bench after picking up a slight injury against Plymouth Argyle that prevented him from partaking in a full week’s training prior to Middlesbrough’s visit, and despite his popularity amongst the fanbase, it would appear that a majority of supporters would be quite happy to see him stay there for the time being.
