Sunderland boss Gus Poyet admits he's struggling to find a connection with the fans.
On Saturday Poyet's side were booed off at half-time and at the end of a sour FA Cup stalemate with Fulham, in which Jermain Defoe made his home debut and Jack Rodwell was sent off.
Poyet is concerned about the disconnect with those in the stands.
"Yes, it worries me," he said. "It worries me a lot.
"But it is up to me to find a solution to connect with the fans through better play, whatever that system is, whether through passing, or going long. It is up to me, I am responsible.
"At the moment it is not nice to watch, I can understand that. All I can say is I promise you I will try to find a way to bring more excitement to the stadium."
