Wilkinson questions Sunderland fitness

Charlton 1 Sunderland 1

In his third game in charge, Wilkinson's men took the lead through Tore Andre Flo's impressive first-half strike at The Valley, but Gary Rowett equalised for the home side to leave the Black Cats boss reflecting on a defeat and two draws so far.

''It was hard - physically probably our hardest game,'' said Wilkinson. ''In the last half hour, I don't know how many balls they put into our box. I can't criticise them for effort. We ran out of legs and we have got to address it, although that's difficult to address when there are sometimes two games a week. If we are not good enough then that's a problem; if we are not fit enough then we have got to do something about it.
