Frustration for Sunderland after Hull defeat
They lost 1-0 at home.
Sunderland dropped to eighth in the Championship table after a 1-0 defeat to Hull City,
Fabio Carvalho's struck the only goal in the defeat for the Black Cats that means they have lost three games in a row in all competitions.
Afterwards boss Michael Beale said:
"They can see the effort on the park from the players and any help they can give them, they have to understand the strength of that.
"When you're at home and at a club like this, you expect to win and we're the same, we're bitterly disappointed.
"I'm only a month into the job. It shows the expectation on managers now.
"I think the fans have to get behind the players on the park because they're a young group and I don't think they realise the strength of their support to that young group in there.
"I'll take what comes my way, I'll take the responsibility of managing this club. It is what it is, if you win games people are happy and if you don't, they're not."
