Sunderland were beaten 3-0 by Scunthorpe United last night, with Phil Parkinson’s side continuing to disappoint.

Sunderland fans have let rip at Aiden McGeady after his latest performance for them.
Sunderland were beaten 3-0 by Scunthorpe United in the EFL Trophy last night, despite naming a strong team for the contest.
Phil Parkinson’s side were worryingly poor, as they crashed to another defeat.
Very few players came out of the game with any credit, but McGeady took on board more criticism than most Sunderland players.
The Irish winger proved last season that he was one of the most dangerous players in League One, but he has not been anywhere near as effective this time around.
And some Sunderland fans are now questioning the winger’s attitude and suggesting that he should be sold.
Sunderland’s defeat to Scunthorpe means that they are now out of the EFL Trophy, and extends their poor run of form.
Parkinson has struggled to improve on the results which Jack Ross was getting with the Black Cats, with Sunderland badly disappointing so far this term.
Sunderland are currently in seventh place in the League One table, and are already eight points away from the automatic promotion spaces.
