Interim boss Mike Dodds was left 'shellshocked' by Sunderland's first-half horror show against basement side Doncaster Rovers, admitting there are 'no excuses' for their performance.
The Black Cats produced a dire first half display at the Stadium of Light and found themselves 2-0 down at the break - the only surprise being that the South Yorkshire side were not further ahead.
Sunderland pulled a goal back right at the end of the match when it was too late, but it might have been a different story had Ross Stewart's header been given when it appeared to cross the line on the hour but the officials failed to spot it.
