  3. 'Preston went to the extremes but it helped us'

    Hume: 'We're frustrated we didn't get three points' against Preston

    Sunderland defender Trai Hume says Preston North End's time-wasting tactics helped spur the Black Cats on to grab their equaliser in Tuesday's 1-1 draw.

    Several North End players went to ground following Emil Riis' opening strike, with the crowd growing increasingly frustrated.

    However, Hume says that the stop-start second half helped lift the energy in the ground and led to Romaine Mundle's late leveller.

    "You kind of expect it but they did go to the extreme. They had about four or five players that went down," Hume told BBC Radio Newcastle.

    "The fans got up from it and we pushed on and ended up getting the equaliser so it kind of helped us in a way. It's not ideal but it's what teams do when they come and play against us."

    Mundle's curled shot gave the Black Cats a point but having wasted several chances, particularly in the first half, the Wearside club will feel a big opportunity to close on the top three went begging.

    Both Burnley and Sheffield United also only managed a point on Tuesday, with Leeds United looking to gain ground on Wednesday when they host Millwall.

    "We thought we could have come away with three points, and you look at the other results and you realise they've drew, but it could have been worse - they could have won," Hume added.

    "You've got to think of it as a positive but obviously, we are frustrated we didn't get the three points."

    'Many reasons': Le Bris voices Poveda injury frustration

    Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris cited that there were "many reasons" winger Ian Poveda has missed so much of the season, leaving room to speculate on whether there was more than just injury contributing to the Colombia international's lack of game time.

    Poveda has only made six appearances for the Black Cats so far this season and has now been ruled out for at least three weeks on the sidelines.

    Although not all Poveda's absences has been due to fitness as the 25-year-old missed out on Sunderland's 2-0 win over Luton Town in February because of an "internal disciplinary matter" whereby he was late for a team get-together.

    "For somebody who has missed so much, you'd think he would be absolutely spot on with everything he's doing," former Sunderland striker Martin Smith told BBC Radio Newcastle.

    "It makes you question things and what's happened at previous clubs. Sometimes clubs take people on and you get them for a reason because of certain issues at former clubs and you think maybe you can change that.

    "But at the minute, it looks like it's not going to happen."
