Sunderland are in urgent need of a win after suffering their sixth successive defeat at Southampton over the weekend.

Mike Dodds’ youthful team managed to equalize the score on the South Coast after falling down two goals in the first half, but their chances of picking up a point were dashed by Joe Rothwell’s brace in the latter minutes of the six-goal thriller.

The result left the Black Cats in 12th position, 11 points behind sixth-placed Norwich City, and it appears they will have to settle for another season in the Championship, with the play-offs now almost out of reach.

Dodds must find a way to win again as his team prepares to play relegation-threatened Queens Park Rangers on Saturday.

The Sunderland manager has hinted at his side selection for the next match.
