New head coach Lee Johnson admitted Sunderland’s 1-0 defeat to bottom-club Wigan made it clear that work needs to be done to improve his side’s attacking output. Johnson took charge of his first game without leading a training session, having only being confirmed on the morning of the game. The decision injected some life into Sunderland’s attacking play early on and he had two of the Black Cats’ best chances. Johnson will now look for improvements at Oldham on Tuesday night, with a three-point gap to make up on the play-off zone. We need to work on movement in the box, players to cross the near post.
