Adam Johnson insists there's no reason for panic at Sunderland.

The Black Cats have lost the past two games, shipping ten goals in the process.

"It's very early still," stressed winger Johnson. "There's probably half the Premier League in a relegation battle at this minute in time, probably more. Three defeats in a row and you're in (the relegation battle) anyway.

"We need to start picking up points and hopefully push away from that."
