Desperate for any kind of momentum heading into the international break, Sunderland look to break their duck for the season and emerge with their first victory Saturday when they face Bournemouth at Vitality Stadium.Its becoming a historical season for all the wrong reasons for the Black Cats (0-2-8), who are rooted to the bottom of the table on two points. Theyve dropped three on the bounce in league play and four straight in all competitions following last weekends 4-1 loss to frontrunners Arsenal.There was a glimmer of hope when Jermain Defoe converted from the spot on 65 minutes to forge a 1-1 tie, but two goals in quick succession by Olivier Giroud put an end to any thoughts of Sunderland getting the better of the Gunners.We put a lot of effort into the game and we deserved better, Didier Ndong told Sunderlands official website. We were very happy to make it 1-1 but we made three or four mistakes that we could have avoided.The Black Cats are trying to avoid becoming the first Premier League team to go winless in their first 11 matches since the 2012-13 Queens Park Rangers side failed to get a victory in their first 16 matches en route to a last-place finish and relegation to the Championship. And it will be a task made all the tougher without manager David Moyes, who was given a one-match ban from the touchline by the FA for berating the fourth official in Sunderlands 1-0 League Cup defeat to Southampton on Oct. 26.Despite their struggles, goalkeeper Calvin Pickford insists the mood is upbeat in the North-east side, and hes optimistic the team can find success this weekend.Saturdays game at Bournemouth gives us a good chance to pick up three points and head into the international break on a high, he said. The mood within the camp is good but nobody likes losing games, so its up to us to get a result which would lift the fans and get a real buzz around the city ahead of the game against Hull City.We have to do our jobs against the teams around us and were fully capable of beating them, so the challenge is to take something from the game this weekend and build on it after the break.Getting anyone to provide support for Defoe would be a welcome start to that end. He has five of Sunderlands league-low seven goals, with Patrick Van Aanholt accounting for the other two.A victory here by Bournemouth (3-3-4) would go a long way toward avoiding the relegation scraps of April and May. The Cherries are currently 10th in the table ahead of reigning champions Leicester City and Stoke City on goal difference but looking to rebound from a 2-0 defeat at new boys Middlesbrough last weekend.While the Cherries had the run of play with more possession and outshot the Boor 18-11, they only put three efforts on target and failed to solve Victor Valdes.Whenever you get beaten you have to give the opposition credit, but from our perspective we certainly have to look at ourselves and take the blame, manager Eddie Howe said. We werent as we have been in recent weeks. As a collective, from start to finish, we werent where we needed to be, and that is hugely frustrating because today as a great opportunity for us.Both with and without the ball we werent great.The goals have dried up since Bournemouth smashed Hull City 6-1 on Oct. 15, though the Cherries did nick a point off Tottenham Hotspur before losing to Middlesbrough. Howe, though, thinks that lopsided victory may have provided his team some fools gold and they can go forward after those lessons came home to roost.Were not quite as good as we think we are, and we have to go back and work extremely hard to get anything in this league, the gaffer said. Its a lesson learned for us … and possibly an experience we needed to go through.Midfielder Andrew Surman is a question mark for this match after leaving last weekends loss late with a hamstring injury. Dan Gosling, who started in his place against Spurs, would likely again get the call to be in Howes starting XI if Surman could not play.Bournemouth took four of six points between the teams last season, posting a 2-0 victory in the corresponding fixture. Callum Wilson and Matt Ritchie scored in the first nine minutes for the Cherries, and their job was made easier playing the final 16 minutes with a man advantage after Younes Kaboul picked up his second yellow card.Sunderland are 3-7-14 on the road in league play since the start of last season, shipping 49 goals while posting only two clean sheets.Benito Santiago Cubs Jersey .
