 Collins is confused as to why Sunderland struggle on their travels (Getty) |
Sunderland defender Danny Collins has admitted he is puzzled by the team's disappointing away form this season. The Black Cats have lost 11 of their 13 away games and are yet to win on their travels, but Collins feels the results are not reflecting the performances.
He told BBC Radio Newcastle: "I think overall there's only the Everton game where we didn't do ourselves justice.
"In the other games we played pretty well. We just don't seem to pick up any points and I don't why."

Visiting teams have found Sunderland a different proposition at the Stadium of Light where just three defeats have given the Black Cats a platform to build on.
However Collins is wary that the visits of Chelsea and Arsenal lie ahead and no one at the club can afford to rest on their laurels.
He said: "We seem to have all the top half teams to come to our place while we've got to go to the likes of Fulham and Derby.
"It's a vital stage of the season for us we need to go away and grab at least a draw so the teams around us don't capitalise on us."
