Jack Ross faced the press ahead of Sunderland's trip to Charlton
"It's a hectic period for us. The number of fixtures we've had to date in a short period of time, and there's a big week ahead of us as well. It's challenging for us and other teams who face similar."
"They've obviously had very good seasons, but I think we've had a good one. Only losing two league games at this stage is a good record, but their form has been very good and very consistent."
"I thought from the first game of the season that they would be around us. I think they've shown that as the season has gone on and their home form in particular is very good."
"That moment it felt, on reflection, appropriate for us to win the game in that manager. Given everything that has happened in the summer, it was vital we continued that optimism."
