York who last played for Sunderland on the 4th February against Blackburn in the FA cup and hasn't played a league game since December, has said "If you are not scoring goals and you are in the position we are, when you go a goal behind it takes a lot of character to come back.
"At the moment, we are lacking a bit of that. I am looking to get back in the team now to bring a bit of experience.
"We have players who have played in the Premier League but only for a year or two. We don't really have any established Premier League players and they are finding it a bit difficult.
"Hopefully, given that chance, I can influence the team from the pitch.""When Ricky first took over, the team was on such a high that everything seemed cosy."
"But now we are in a dilemma there's a need for some experience to be brought into the team. It won't take me long to get into the swing of things because I am training every day."
"It's up to us as a staff to explain the importance to the players because I have never been relegated in my life.
"I'm coming to the end of my career and I don't want that on my CV. I made it known that you don't want to be going off in the summer knowing you are coming back to the Championship. I would like to think that has sunk in."
