Sunderland have to forget about games in hand and concentrate on winning their own fixtures, according to Elliot Embleton.
The weekend win against Portsmouth at the Stadium of Light lifted the Black Cats back into the automatic promotion spots, with leaders Wigan ahead of them only on goal difference.
But the Latics have also played four fewer games than Sunderland, while third-placed Rotherham have two games in hand of the Black Cats and are just a single point behind them.
