“Clean sheets are a point of pride, but they’re only possible because of the commitment from the lads in front of me,” said Anthony Patterson after securing his 50th shutout in Sunderland colours.
The 24-year-old stopper was instrumental in the 1-0 win over West Brom, delivering key saves to maintain the lead handed to the Black Cats by Trai Hume’s stunning free kick.
Now with 13 clean sheets this season, Patterson’s return to form could prove crucial as Sunderland gear up for a late push in the Championship promotion race.

Sunderland in Hot Water? EFL Sanctions Loom After West Brom Clash – Ex-Referee Weighs In

April 6, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Sunderland’s 1-0 win over West Brom at The Hawthorns wasn’t without post-match drama, as former PGMOL referee Keith Hackett raised the possibility of EFL sanctions. The controversy stems from a slight delay to the second-half restart, with Sunderland’s players returning late to the pitch—something Hackett suggested could be viewed as deliberate gamesmanship. While referee Tom Nield addressed the issue briefly with Sunderland captain Dan Neil, Hackett believes the incident will be noted in the official report and may lead to a fine. This marks yet another occasion this season where Hackett has called for action involving Sunderland, though none of his previous warnings have resulted in disciplinary measures so far.

Exclusive: Shock Twist in Jayden Danns’ Future as Sunderland Move Looms Away from Liverpool!

Lee Hendrie believes both Sunderland and Jayden Danns will be left disappointed by how the highly anticipated loan move from Liverpool has unfolded. Despite being a sought-after talent in the January transfer window, Danns has yet to make an impact at Wearside due to an underlying back injury discovered during his medical. Sunderland pushed ahead with the deal regardless, but the injury has kept the young striker sidelined, forcing him to undergo rehabilitation at Liverpool.

Speaking to *Football League World*, Hendrie described the situation as a gamble that “hasn’t paid off,” noting that Sunderland fans would have loved to see Danns in action. While there is hope he might return before the season ends, the club’s risk in signing an injured player has ultimately left them without the boost they had anticipated. Now, as Sunderland’s push for promotion stalls, questions arise about whether their transfer strategy should have prioritized fully fit players ready to make an immediate impact.

Joe Jacobson believes that the delay in Sheffield Wednesday’s March wages may lead some players to reconsider their futures at the club. With the club citing cashflow issues stemming from owner Dejphon Chansiri’s failure to receive expected funds from his other businesses, the news has left fans frustrated and concerned. Jacobson, speaking exclusively to *Football League World*, reflected on his own experience with delayed payments, noting that players’ reactions depend largely on how well the club communicates and reassures them.

If players feel this issue may persist, their focus could shift away from the remainder of the season, especially with Sheffield Wednesday stuck in mid-table with little to play for. As the summer transfer window approaches, some players may begin to consider their options, potentially looking at other clubs. This adds another layer of uncertainty to an already turbulent situation for the club, who will need to resolve the matter quickly to avoid further unrest both on and off the pitch.
