Shola Ameobi said his goal against the Mackems meant little at the end of the day, because it all ended in derby day misery.
Ameobi: "We have to pick ourselves up, there's no question. We gave a performance on Saturday where we felt we could have won it, but it wasn't to be.
Shola: 'Goal Means Nothing!'

"But we have to look forward now and forget about that, which is sometimes hard to do.
"We have to get over it, look forward to the next game and try to get maximum points, especially playing at home.
"Hopefully, we can give another good performance and grab a win.
"It (the goal) doesn't really count for anything. We are all so disappointed, especially myself. It's the first time I have been beaten by Sunderland, and that was something I was obviously wanting to avoid.
"It's always nice to score a goal, but in the circumstances, it doesn't really help."
