Regis Le Bris expressed his gratitude for the unwavering support of Sunderland fans as the team gears up for back-to-back games at the Stadium of Light. The Black Cats will face Stoke City on Saturday and then Bristol City just three days later.
Following a strong showing from the nearly 3,000 supporters at Bramall Lane, Le Bris commended their dedication, stating, “They are impressive. They are still behind us, even at the end of the [Sheffield United] game. We have to appreciate our fans because they play a crucial role for us.”
Acknowledging the importance of repaying their loyal supporters, Le Bris stressed the team’s determination to secure a victory on Saturday. “We are aware that we have not been winning lately, and I know it’s frustrating for them too. We feel that frustration, but it’s vital for the supporters to feel that joy after a challenging week. We aim to earn their support, and I am confident that we will soon return to winning ways.”
Sunderland, currently in fourth place, are set to face Stoke City in the FA Cup third round at home. The upcoming fixtures will see the two teams face off three times in a short period, with a league match on December 29 following the cup game on January 11.
Stoke City, under the management of Narcis Pelach, currently sit in 14th place with 21 points from 18 matches.
