Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris has experienced a largely successful first half of the season, though it hasn’t been without its challenges or criticism.
After the first 10 games, Le Bris was hailed as a hero, with Sunderland leading the Championship table in first place and appearing unstoppable.
However, a string of subpar performances, disappointing results, and a slip in the league standings have highlighted the difficulties of navigating a full Championship season.
Black Cats fans have also voiced their opinions about Le Bris, particularly criticizing his in-game substitutions and some of his selection decisions.
Sunderland’s recent 3-2 comeback victory against Swansea perhaps encapsulates their season so far: occasionally underwhelming, but more often than not, impressive.
