They decided to make a change, which is fine, you accept that it is football, but Alex Neil has to come in and finish the job off. "It is [unthinkable to spend another season in League One]. It became harder and harder every year when they did not go up. "We're a confident group and we had to treat it right. "But there's a lot of hard work that goes into that, to get you into that level.

Sunderland secured a place back in the Championship after defeating Wycombe Wanderers 2-0 in the League One playoff final. The Wembley encounter was Adebayo ...

That turned out to be the game as Sunderland went up the other end and killed off any hopes of a fightback. It looked to be an error from Stockdale, though he potentially lost the trajectory of the ball in the sun on a very bright north-west London afternoon. The tempo on both sides of the ball was high, and it was accompanied by some lovely passing moves. The Sunderland support - which had taken over large swathes of the upper and middle tiers in Wycombe’s half of Wembley - roared their men to a ferocious start. The relative size of the two clubs seemed to play into the bookmakers’ odds and countless pre-match predictions, with Wycombe the underdogs. For the Chairboys, it marks the end of an era, with iconic striker Adebayo Akinfenwa making his final appearance from the bench.

However, Sunderland fought off stiff competition from Sheffield Wednesday and Wycombe Wanderers to punch its ticket back in next season’s Championship campaign. The 26-year-old tied a career-high with 41 combined league appearances this season while also adding six assists. Wycombe continued to try and fight for an equalizing goal, but Sunderland eventually put the scoreline out of reach with top goalscorer Ross Stewart delivering the insurance tally.

Finally. Sunderland have been promoted to the Sky Bet Championship after breaking both their playoff and Wembley curse in front of 72,000 supporters.

He looked up, continued to drive forward, and then sent a ferocious effort past a questionable Stockdale - sending the West End of Wembley into absolute pure delirium. After their slight spell of pressure, Wycombe did still continue to look a threat, but arguably their best chance was gifted to them on a plate by centre-back, Bailey Wright. Anthony Stewart’s long ball forward was misjudged by the Sunderland defender, and allowed striker Sam Vokes in behind - only for the Wycombe striker to be denied by a magnificent composed save from Anthony Patterson. Yet, this is no ‘typical Sunderland’. This is a team writing their own rules, and after the half-time interval they were forced to see off a period of Chairboys pressure before they could start building again. But, for all of Sunderland’s comfort on the ball, there was always a slight fear in the stands at Wembley of a potential Wycombe comeback. The fightback from Gareth Ainsworth’s side was always to be expected: they held the ball up for large periods of time, but just didn’t have enough to trouble us. Neil made just one change to his starting eleven, with Elliot Embleton replacing Jack Clarke - one that appeared to be a shrewd move right from the start of the action.

This has been his club right from the very start and it has been a topsy-turvy road to here. On paper he had been confident in the players he was taking on but this was a sobering dose of reality. The ball breaks and just inside his own half the first touch is perfect. You can see the red of the flares and smell the smoke and feel the anticipation. The very days of our lives. This might well just be our day and this is why. And seemingly at every step of the way, echoes of the past finding a way to chip away at that morale every little bit more. One, just for good measure, adding a *sixth* of the afternoon for his new club, against the one at which he didn’t kick a ball in anger for six months. We have brought our pain and our frustration and our fear that it might never be our day but none of that will leave with us. The wait might ordinarily be agony but it’s ok, now, because so many of us have waited a lifetime for this and we can wait just a moment more. And a year later, doing exactly the same thing again. His eyes are wide and his mouth gapes because how can you take this in.
