Sunderland manager Regis le Bris was disappointed with his team’s performance in the Championship’s 0-0 draw at Preston.

A second consecutive goalless draw extended the visitors’ unbeaten streak to seven games, putting them two points ahead at the top of the league. But their display at Deepdale did not reach Le Bris’ standards.

“We are not happy because this was not the performance that we wanted to execute today but, in the end, it is a point,” added the Sunderland coach.

Patrick Roberts and Romaine Mundle were strangely left on the bench, despite both appearing in the second half, but Le Bris attributed this to keeping his alternatives fresh.

“It’s a long league with many games in the week,” he informed us. “We have to manage the team and the roster, and we must give other players opportunity because we will undoubtedly need them.

“We need to manage the others.”

They can tire easily, and we need them to be in top condition. We know (Roberts) is a major strength that we will definitely miss, but the last 30 minutes were intended to be for him, and I believe we changed the dynamic of the game in that moment.”

Sunderland’s changes meant that forward Wilson Isidor began in a wide position. Le Bris admits his performance may have been better, but he feels the move will help his career.

“He’s a young player and he needs the opportunity to learn,” said Le Bris. “He can’t imagine the obstacles before playing, which is beneficial for him.

“He worked for the team.” Obviously, it wasn’t his best performance, but

It’s just normal; he needs time.”

Preston manager Paul Heckingbottom was disappointed with the officiating and his team’s ineptitude in front of goal. Early on, referee Lewis Smith elected to show Chris Mepham a yellow card rather than a red for a cynical tackle on Sam Greenwood on the edge of the box.

“We’ve been performing really well but things are going against us at the minute,” Heckingbottom explained. “We had three really good chances in the first half that could have made the game a lot more comfortable for us, and obviously the referee’s decisions could have made it a little bit easier for us.
