Lee Johnson offered a 'genuine and sincere' apology to the Sunderland fans who witnessed their side's 6-0 humiliation at Bolton, insising that any criticism that comes his way is fair and saying he will take it on the chin.
The Black Cats boss looked crestfallen when he faced the media at the University of Bolton Stadium and in the immediate aftermath admitted he was struggling to find the answers for what had just unfolded, saying that he hadn't seen this performance coming but accepting responsibility for it.
Sunderland were backed by more than 5,300 fans at Bolton, and that made the display even more hard to swallow.
