Out-of-contract Sunderland goalkeeper Lee Burge has revealed he wants to stay at the League One club.
Lee Burge is convinced Sunderland can go all the way in the play-offs and make up for last season's disappointment. The Black Cats lost 3-2 on aggregate against Lincoln City in the play-off semi-final 12 months ago, despite Burge saving a penalty against the Imps in the second leg at the Stadium of Light.
Alex Neil says Sunderland booked their play-off place 'in comfort' as they saw off Morecambe on the final day of the season. Nathan Broadhead scored the only goal of the game early in the match at the Mazuma Stadium, although the final scoreline did not reflect the Black Cats' dominance.
Sunderland climbed back into the top six despite being held to a draw by play-off rivals Plymouth Argyle. The Black Cats extended their unbeaten run to ten games, but could not make it four wins in a row as they drew a blank in a tight game at Home Park, with Nathan Broadhead coming closest to breaking the deadlock in the second half with a shot that brought a good save out of the keeper.
Play-off chasing Sunderland claimed a dramatic late winner for the third Sky Bet League One game in a row as Nathan Broadhead's stoppage-time header secured a 3-2 win over Shrewsbury.
Sunderland welcome Shrewsbury Town to the Stadium of Light this afternoon with an opportunity to begin cementing their place inside the top six.
Sunderland picked up a hugely significant 2-1 win at Oxford United on Saturday with Elliot Embleton scoring a late winner for the Black Cats.
Sunderland's Anthony Patterson has a big future ahead of him as he continues to make his mark in his first season of senior football. That's the view of Black Cats boss Alex Neil, who praised the academy graduate goalkeeper after his crucial second-half save proved to be one of the defining moments that helped his side take all three points against play-off rivals Oxford United at the weekend.
