Sunderland boss David Moyes: I do hear the boos

Sunderland boss David Moyes says he accepts the fans' jeers after their 2-2 draw with West Ham.

Despite Sunderland's spirited comeback, the result did little to help the club's survival hopes with the Black Cats nine points from safety with just six games to go.

When asked for his reaction to the boos and chants, Moyes said: "Yes, I did hear them.

"It is to be expected because me and the team are not doing well at the moment, I have to expect that."

He added: "The support has been fantastic.

"Managers or teams not doing well, they deserve to take their frustrations out on somebody and nearly always it is the manager.

"I have no issue with it at all."

When asked if he questioned himself when sections of the support turned on him, he added: "I just remember to myself I have the third or fourth best win record in the Premier League."
