BALLARD PRE FINAL

The man of the moment, Dan Ballard, has been speaking about THAT goal and also how Sunderland don't see themselves as underdogs going into the play-off final.

LAST MINUTE MAGIC

"I can't describe the feeling of that goal. It was just pure joy. But I think it will make Tuesday even better if we can go and get promoted now."

SHEFF UTD

"We've had two good games against them this year and I think those games will fill us with confidence. They'll probably go in as slight favourites but that's not the feeling in our dressing room."

EXCITED FOR THE FINAL

"We're really excited and the way the last game went and nearly losing it, we feel extra privileged and realise the opportunity now because it was nearly taken away from us. We'll use that as extra fuel going into the game."

BIG ATMOSPHERE

"The last two games, with the atmosphere, credit to Coventry it was a great atmosphere there and then even better at the Stadium of Light. There's two big high pressure games we've managed to come through. I think that will set us up well for the game at Wembley. I think personally I'll have less nerves going into that because we've proved we can get through these high pressure games."

DIG DEEP

"It will be tough, we'll have to dig deep, but we feel confident."
