Birmingham 3-1 Sunderland: David Davis, Jeremie Boga and Sam Gallagher on target as Steve Cotterill's men climb out of the bottom three

Daily Mail | January 30, 2018

Sunderland are in big trouble after abasing themselves at St Andrew's Stadium on Tuesday evening.

Nothing will highlight more that Chris Coleman needs to add reinforcements at both ends of the pitch than this miserable display.

The Welshman is desperately short of time, though, with the window slamming shut on Wednesday night. It will be a huge day for the club, fail to do any business and it could be curtains.
