“They didn’t pick us off, we gave the ball away and allowed them to get the two goals. The defenders made bad decisions which have cost us.”

A second-half brace from Lee Cattermole cancelled out Joe Pigott’s ninth-minute opener to maintain the Black Cats’ unbeaten start to the season.

He said: “I thought Wimbledon were really good in the first half, although from my point of view we were poor.

“We were outworked and outfought. But I felt that if we had faith in what we did, we would get opportunities in the second half.

“They worked us hard in the first half and the players looked a bit mentally fatigued, so we
