Interim boss Mike Dodds says he is working day-to-day and will make preparations for Sunderland's midweek trip to Cheltenham until told otherwise.
U23 coach Dodds was put in temporary charge of the side, along with fellow coach Michael Proctor, following Lee Johnson's sacking last weekend in the wake of the 6-0 defeat at Bolton.
And his time at the helm got off to the worst possible start as the Black Cats were beaten 2-1 by bottom-of-the-table Doncaster Rovers.
