Sunderland suffered a 1-0 defeat to Bolton on Tuesday night.
Sunderland could not prevent another Championship defeat on Tuesday night to fellow strugglers Bolton Wanderers as Chris Coleman’s side continue to suffer in the relegation zone – and fans have blasted Lee Cattermole for his display.
Phil Parkinson’s Bolton earned a 1-0 win thanks to Zach Clough’s first-half strike, which remained the difference throughout despite Sunderland’s domination of possession and arguably having more chances.
It is now a fourth loss in five games, the other being 3-3 draw against Bristol City as they remain rock bottom in the Championship and three points adrift of safety.
Former Wales boss Coleman has failed to spark a revival since taking over from Simon Grayson earlier in the season, and fans are becoming restless as a second successive relegation looks inevitable.
Sunderland fans reacted to 29-year-old midfielder Cattermole’s display on Twitter as the aggressive number six failed to prevent the Wearside outfit from suffering a 17th league defeat of the season.
One fan described the former Middlesbrough midfielder as “past it”.
