'It's the right time to be winning 1-0' - Gabbiadini

Former Sunderland striker Marco Gabbiadini has been reflecting on the Black Cats' win against West Brom on Saturday.
Gabbiadini told BBC Radio Newcastle: "It's the right time of the year to be winning 1-0, isn't it? Those kind of victories are very pleasing.
"It was a fantastic defensive performance again and just solidifies our position in the table as well as showing that we are a really good defensive unit and when we get the opportunity to break and cause trouble we can do that as well," he added.
"We're scoring all kinds of goals, maybe not enough of them but the variation is there, different players contributing at different times so lots to be pleased of at this stage in the season especially."
Gabbiadini also highlighted the consistency of Regis Le Bris' side.
"When things haven't been going well, we usually come back with a good result," he said.
"People were questioning our form and formation and the players that he was picking a few weeks ago after that Leeds result, the Coventry one. But all of a sudden it's just gone steady again and I think that is what we have been this season.
"We have been the most consistent team in the league.
"We maybe haven't put a scintillating run of five wins out of six in there which makes you an automatic promotion contender but our consistency levels when we're a team that is very young and inexperienced, that has been remarkable really.
"The manager takes a lot of credit and I'm sure he's very proud of his players."
