Determined: Alan Hutton in action for Sunderland[LNB]Alan Hutton has vowed to do his bit to silence the Sunderland boo boys. [LNB]Steve Bruce's team were jeered off again at half-time again on Saturday after falling behind to strugglers Wigan at the Stadium of Light. [LNB]Although the Wearsiders won a point thanks to Kenwyne Jones's seventh goal of the season, and almost snatched a late win, the natives are growing increasingly concerned at Sunderland's form. [LNB]They head to basement club Portsmouth tomorrow looking for their second win in 15 games, and sit just four points outside the drop zone. [LNB]But Scotland international Hutton, signed on loan from Tottenham until the end of the season, is confident Bruce's men will pull away from the bottom three. [LNB]Hutton said: 'Getting booed does not give me any problems. The fans pay their money and they are entitled to a performance. You just have to show them exactly what you can do. [LNB]'Personally it spurs me on because I want to show people what I can do and that is what we all did in the second half. [LNB]'There are quality players here, as there were at Spurs but they have had a bad run of results. We just have to pick ourselves up. We have the talent. [LNB] Restless natives: Sunderland's fans booed their team again after Wigan's Mohamed Diame gave his side the lead at the Stadium of Light on Saturday[LNB]'If we work hard we have a lot of talented players. I am sure we can start getting some wins under our belt. [LNB]'I know five or six of the players here already and they have helped me settle in and they all said the same thing. It is a massive club, and it is. Not until you come here do you realise how big it is. [LNB]'No one wants to get drawn into a relegation battle. The league is so tight at the bottom but I relish the challenge and I will be doing my best to get us out of trouble.'[LNB] Sunderland 1 Wigan 1: Sorry Black Cats try keeping up with JonesSunderland's Geordie boss Steve Bruce: I can handle the flak from fansTHE FIRING LINE: Avram is tops of the league... of managers on their way outSUNDERLAND FC
