HUME ON HEARTS

Trai Hume admitted Sunderland weren’t good enough against Hearts and there is still plenty of work to be done before the season begins against West Ham.

HIGH STANDARDS

“It wasn't good enough, really. It’s obviously pre-season and results aren’t the most important thing, we need to get minutes in the legs and obviously get our fitness up, but for us as a team we always keep high standards and we know that wasn’t good enough.”

LEARN FROM MISTAKES

“We made mistakes in the game and we were punished. We did things that we probably haven’t planned or worked on, so we kind of did some stuff off-the-cuff which we shouldn’t be doing. We should be organised and disciplined the way we usually are. We made the mistakes today, we’ll look over it and analyse it and hopefully we won’t do it again.”

PUT THE WRONGS RIGHT

“It will take time for players to get used to playing. There has been some time off so we need to get used to playing with each other and getting minutes in the legs. But it’s one of those things where we don’t want it to take too long because the season is coming up soon. We need to start putting those wrongs right.”

ONTO HULL

“It’ll be another good test. Obviously we know a lot about Hull from the last three seasons so we know what to expect and it’ll be a tough game. Hopefully we can do a lot better than what we’ve done today and play the way we usually do.”
