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.
Sunderland have secured a play-off spot for the third time in four years, and they face Sheffield Wednesday in the semi-finals with the first leg on Wearside on Friday night. Burge is unlikely to be involved this time round with Anthony Patterson having taken over as first-choice goalkeeper, and on-loan Bayern Munich keeper Thorben Hoffmann having been on the bench of late.
But the 29-year-old will be backing his teammates to the hilt as they look to end the club's stay in League One. "Everyone wants promotion - that's what we are striving for," said the former Coventry City man.
