Sunderland midfielder Lee Cattermole doesn't believe the fans are turning on manager David Moyes.

The manager's arrival on the touchline in the 20th minute of Saturday's home 2-2 draw against West Ham was greeted with a chorus of boos and chants of 'we want Moyesy' out from the South Stand.

But Cattermole told the Sunderland Echo: “I don't think they've (the crowd) turned against the manager – not the way I've seen other managers being treated.

“I don't think they've turned against him. Which fans are happy? Which players and managers here are happy?

“No-one is happy at the football club at the minute because of the position we're in.

“But we're working as hard as we can to try to get out of it, and looking at the way we performed (on Saturday) – that shows how hard we're trying.

“We could easily have lost 2-1, but we got a point and we've gained a point on the other teams around us.

“We've got a game in hand – we just have to go to Middlesbrough and win now."
