Tony Mowbray was left 'frustrated and disappointed' after Sunderland blew the opportunity to move into the Championship play-off places. The Black Cats were held to a 1-1 draw at the Stadium of Light by relegation battlers Huddersfield Town, slowing the Wearsiders' momentum as they look to challenge for a top-six spot.
Joe Gelhardt put them in front in the first half and a win would have seen them move up to sixth place - at least for 24 hours until the remainder of the midweek programme is played. But Josh Koroma levelled on the hour and the draw meant Sunderland climbed only to eighth, a point outside the play-off places.
"We're frustrated tonight because it was a real opportunity to keep pushing on," said Mowbray. "We didn't get to the levels we needed to win the game.
