Honeyman happy to be versatile in Cats set-up

anyone that comes in, everyone is doing their bit and it’s a real joy to be in and around the team at the moment. Whoever is coming into the side is not only doing a job but they are doing their job really well.

“I haven’t really nailed down a position yet. I guess other people might be worried about that but as far as I’m concerned I think it’s a good thing.

“That’s because I give myself more opportunit­ies to play because I can play in different positions.

“Maybe in years to come it [central midfield] may turn out to be my final position but for the time being I’m more than happy to do whatever the manager tells me. As long as I’m out on the pitch I don’t care.”

The win over Plymouth was Sunderland’s fifth on the bounce in the league, and Honeyman wants to double that.

“I feel proud to be part of the team that I am immensely proud to captain,” he said.

“But it really does feel as though we’re only just getting started – the best is definitely yet to come.

“We’re doing well because we are coming into games with a strong mindset.

“We always seem to go from strength to strength in games – as shown by the fact we seem to really come good in second halves.

“We’ve won five league games on the spin but we’re setting our sights higher - we want to make it ten wins on the spin – at least.

“We want to keep this run going and get ourselves to the top of League One.

“It’s a real pleasure to be around the team and now we’ve got to set our sights on breaking more records as the season unfolds.”
