Sunderland boss Mike Dodds has come under criticism following the 5-1 home defeat vs Blackburn Rovers.
Within just a few days, Sunderland have gone from ending their seven-game winless streak with a confident 2-0 win vs Cardiff City, to being thumped 5-1 at home.
The Black Cats welcomed Blackburn Rovers to the Stadium of Light on Easter Monday and would’ve been expecting to build on their positive performance in Wales.
Blackburn have struggled all season, but inspired by the league’s leading scorer Sammie Szmodics, they stunned Sunderland and put five goals past Dodds’ men.
