Sunderland fans have been urged to stay right behind Tommy Watson ahead of his summer move to Albion . The young winger has come in for heavy criticism from Black Cats fans since his summer move to the Seagulls was confirmed. But Regis Le Bris asked for their support ahead of the Easter Monday clash at home to Blackburn.
He felt that message was heeded, even though Blackburn won 1-0. The Sunderland boss said: “I think the crowd was positive because he showed the right willingness and commitment in the game. WHEN WILL SOLLY MARCH START GAMES IN PREMIER LEAGUE? INSIDE THE AWAY END AT BRENTFORD, WHERE FRUSTRATION WAS 'SIMMERING' “Sometimes, you are not performing as you might want and you can make mistakes, but if your behaviour and your body language is positive, and you are fighting for the team, then you cannot blame the player.
That was the case today. “He could probably have produced one or more opportunities to score or make the final pass, but I thought it was positive." Ahead of the match, Le Bris said: "Tommy is an important player in our squad.
"We need everyone available, everyone at their best level. We need to support him. “We understand the fans because they love their club, but we need positive energy around the club.
“He is going to be important in this period. “Tommy can help off the left, off the right, he is a player who in the future could help us for 10, 15 minutes, maybe more - we'll see. “We need positive energy in the stadium because we need everyone.
