The 21-year-old joined the Magpies on an initial one-month loan deal but has since seen his stay at Meadow Lane extended into the New Year with Ian Burchnall's side.

Patterson has featured nine times keeping three clean sheets and has impressed supporters who are hoping the young Cats stopper will remain for the rest of the campaign.

@Killerkline1: Outstanding goalkeeper, handling exceptional, good with the ball at his feet and very calm. If he continues to work hard, big future ahead of him. Hopefully we can extend his loan beyond January.

@Sam19358810: Need to sign him permanently or Atleast extend the loan!!

@Eric__Kerry: Our style of play gives him excellent experience for a promising future. Sunderland would be mad not to let him stay here for the rest of the season or longer.

@K_Motson: Fantastic player, there were a couple of crosses yesterday deep at the far post that I thought, if that were Slocombe we could have been in trouble. Solid with his distribution also, the defenders feel confident with him you can tell.

@brandonJLchambs: He’s been fantastic.
