Simon Grayson remains '100 per cent' convinced he is the man to drag Sunderland out of trouble after having the 'balls' to take the job in the first place.
Grayson left Preston during the summer to step into the shoes vacated by David Moyes in the wake of the Black Cats' relegation from the Premier League, but just 14 games into the Sky Bet Championship campaign, finds himself under intense pressure.
The Black Cats have not won a league game in 12 attempts heading into Tuesday night's basement battle with Bolton at the Stadium of Light, where the home fans last saw their side collect three points on December 17 last year.
