Patrick Roberts is buzzing for Wembley and cannot wait to get stuck into Wycombe Wanderers…
MAD
“It’s been a crazy year. I can’t really believe it’s going to finish with a game at Wembley, to be honest. I look back to October or November, and I was sat in France, wondering what was going on. So, to get an opportunity like this, it’s any footballer’s dream.
DREAMS
"Ever since I was a kid, I’ve dreamed of being involved in an occasion like this at Wembley. To get an opportunity to do it with a club like Sunderland is massive for me, but ultimately, it’ll only be an enjoyable experience if we win the game."
DELIVERED
“As soon as Sunderland came in for me, I jumped at the chance to join – and this was always the aim. The aim was to be in with a shot of getting promotion. The manager has obviously come in with exactly the same aim, and right from the word go, he’s set us up tactically to a tee to achieve that. He puts us on that platform to go out there to do what we do, and right through the team, I think we’ve delivered.”
FEEL GOOD
“When I came in, I felt a really good feel for the club. They’re a top team. They shouldn’t be in League One, but you can’t keep saying that – you’ve got to do it on the pitch and I think we’ve shown what we can do. Every week, we’ve shown we can grind things out when we need to, and that’s the sign of a good team, with a good manager and good staff. You bring all that together and you can achieve some good things.”
FANS
“The support has always been great this season. At home the other day, getting 40-odd thousand was incredible. They showed their support, and you just know they’re going to be there again at Wembley.”
