Sunderland defender John O’ Shea believes that a consistent run of games will revitalise the club’s flair players.
The Black Cats rescued a draw in Sunday’s game with Newcastle thanks to Demba Ba’s late own goal, but the centre back is aware that this spells just one win in 15 games for his side.
The Republic of Ireland star feels that with the lengthy international breaks for this calendar year, the club’s attacking personnel will have time to gel, and find their form in front of goal.
O’Shea mentioned that it was important to get the likes of Stephane Sessegnon, James McLean and Adam Johnson to work on supplying quality service to their £14 million summer acquisition Steven Fletcher.
The versatile defender went on to tell Sky Sports “Now over the next few weeks, fingers crossed, with a few bodies coming back as well, we will be able to go on a stronger run than we have been doing.
We have not been losing games. Obviously, we lost against (Manchester) City, but we should have more wins on the board than what we have.”
A worry for Sunderland and Martin O’Neill is that opposing sides have managed to ensure that the club’s danger men are kept quiet in games.
However, the former Manchester United ace, O’Shea was quick to point out that all the players have confidence in the team’s ability.
Next up is a tricky trip to the Britannia stadium for the Black Cats where they will be trying to secure a 3 points that could provide a real impetus to their campaign.
