Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris speaking to BBC Match of the Day:"Bad result. Ups and downs, I think is the summary of this game and the season so far. We can play good football, and create some good chances, but we also made many unforced errors. At this level, especially in the Premier League the opponent can seize ever single opportunity, and [Brentford] did that. It's not a question of luck, it's a question of us. We are too incontinent at the minute to be efficient in this league.
On the frustration of making errors that lead to goals:"Yeah, it is, because it's not the first time. So, it's hard to handle, hard to address because it's always different. Sometimes it's this player, then it's that player. First minute, last minute. So, it's the consequence of something for sure, because we are growing quickly as a club, but the demands are still so important, especially in this league, but we are not at the level at this minute."
On if the mistakes are because of lack of confidence:"Yeah, sometimes the case. We are not at our best, it's obvious. It's dynamic, sometimes you are good and sometimes you are not. This inconsistency is crucial because in this League the level is so high and demanding you have to do consistent, and it's not the case at the minute."
On if they can still take something from the result:"Absolutely. This team and this club [have fight]. Is it a surprise to struggle in the Premier League? I would say no. Are we comfortable in this situation? Absolutely no. Are we combative? Yes. So, we will do it."
On if he is concerned about his job: "In my mind I work for Sunderland for 10 years, so I'm here to give everything. I work hard, I will connect with people. with the players to find solutions."
