Sunderland boss Gus Poyet realises his leadership group are inexperienced when it comes to battling relegation.
Poyet will hope the experience of men such as skipper John O'Shea and central defensive partner Wes Brown will help to pull them through, although he is well aware they are more used to winning trophies from their time together at Manchester United rather than fighting for their lives.
He said: "I'm sure they don't like to be in this situation. The other one is easier. That pressure of being in there to win is beautiful."
