Stephen Elliott has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to Sunderland’s defeat to Southend United on Saturday evening.

Sunderland have suffered a 2-1 loss at the hands of Southend away from home at Roots Hall in League One.

John White put the home team in the lead in the 43rd minute, and Chris Maguire restored parity for the Black Cats on 75 minutes.

Southend scored what turned out to be the winner in the 87th minute when Stephen Humphrys found the net.

Former Sunderland forward Elliott was following the match, and he has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to the defeat for Jack Ross’s side.

The former Republic of Ireland international was not impressed with the performance of 27-year-old striker Will Grigg – who has made 15 starts and three substitute appearances in League One for the Black Cats this season, scoring four goals in the process, according to WhoScored.

Elliott has also said that Sunderland missed 33-year-old Sunderland winger Aiden McGeady against Southend.
