Alex Neil says Sunderland's performance deserved a comfortable victory at Lincoln - and the goalless draw felt like a missed opportunity in the race for a play-off place. The Black Cats were by far the better side at Sincil Bank and created a raft of chances but could not convert any of them.
And instead they had to settle for a single point on a day when they could have taken advantage as play-off rivals including Sheffield Wednesday, Wycombe Wanderers, and Oxford United also dropped points. "It's a strange one," said Neil.
"If you look at the performance as a whole, it certainly deserved to win the match comfortably in my opinion. I thought it was a really good performance and we created more than enough chances to win.
