Sunderland's dismal end to the season continued as they slumped to a seventh home defeat of the campaign, 3-1 to relegation threatened Wolves. Black Cats boss Steve Bruce was left to reflect on an injury hit season which cannot end soon enough.
Bruce said: "Everybody realises the problems. However, there is still no hiding place.
"We have conceded three against Fulham, three against West Brom and three against Wolves today at home - that to me is the disappointment.
"We haven't defended properly, we haven't shown the right resilience, and of course I am playing people out of position back there. It's been a big frustration."
Defender John Mensah showed his frustration when he was substituted with three minutes remaining by heading straight down the tunnel without acknowledging his replacement.
Bruce said: "Things like that happen in football. He's got a good right to be disappointed - I was disappointed in his second-half performance.
"Things happen in the heat of the game. He is understandably upset, he didn't want to come off - we will deal with that and we will live with that and we will move on.
"In his eyes, he did not give a jot who was coming on. He was just thinking one thing, total disappointment in himself, which happens in the heat of the moment.
"The one thing about John Mensah is he is a highly respectable man. However in his actions today, he has let himself down."
