Sbragia sees Sunderland's relegation dogfight going to the wire

Sunderland boss Ricky Sbragia expects the Black Cats Premier League future to be decided on the last game of the season. "The one thing I don't want to do is be the manager who took Sunderland down," he said.

"But I always thought, even at the time I took over, that it would go down to the last game of the season - and I still think that.

"Do I have any regrets? No, I am fine. The players are still good and they are giving me everything in each game."

The Black Cats are without a win in their last six matches and Sbragia insists it is vital to get back on track immediately.

"We just need a win - of course we know that," he said.

"A couple of teams have had good wins and it's just knocked them above us. We need to get back to getting three points."
