Sunderland remain winless in the Premier League this season.
Sunderland remain rock bottom of the Premier League table after losing 1-0 at West Ham United on Saturday afternoon.
David Moyes’s side looked on course to win at least a point at the Olympic Stadium following a hard-fought outing in the capital.
But Winston Reid pounced with an injury-time winner to pour misery on a Sunderland side who have not yet won in the Premier League this season.
The Black Cats are rooted to the foot of the division and they are now five points adrift of safety. On current form, that deficit only looks like increasing rather than decreasing.
It is a worrying time for Sunderland fans and some fellow players who have retained an affinity for the North-East club.
Michael Gray aired his annoyance on Twitter after the West Ham defeat.
It seems like no matter who is in charge of Sunderland, a relegation battle is probable. The fans have been made to suffer the threat of dropping down into the Championship every season for the past four or five years, and the threat remains as real as ever this time around under Moyes.
They travel to Southampton next week, before hosting in-form Arsenal the following week, and it is not unthinkable to wonder if zero points from six awaits them in those two games.
