ALLY ON SAFC PRESSURE

Ally McCoist has backed Regis Le Bris to turn things around at the Stadium of Light after a disappointing run of results. The former Sunderland forward spoke to talkSPORT Bet online casino.

GET BEHIND THE MANAGER

"They need to get behind Regis Le Bris at Sunderland. They were a bit unlucky with the sending off at the weekend. Danso dallies on the ball, Evanilson gets in front, and by the laws of the game it's a red card."

BALLARD BIG MISS

"Then you're right up against it against Bournemouth, especially missing Evanilson through the middle. I really like Dan Ballard at the back, so those two are key for them."

CREDIT IN THE BANK

"I was worried about the extra European fixtures catching up with them, but Regis Le Bris 100% deserves time to sort things out domestically. I think both North East teams will turn the corner, but they are going through a sticky period."
