Meeting Highlights…IMPORTANCE OF THE MATCH
We're only going to win it if we play well and we're better than the opposition. They also are in a situation where they need points on the board, even more so than we do, so I'm pretty sure they're looking at it and thinking: ‘this is a game against a team in the same ballpark as we are ourselves, and this is a game that we need to win.
…HOW TO DEFEAT
You have to play well. You have to stick to your principles. We believe in this group. We think they can do well. It's not for me to suddenly make it evident to them that everything's going to collapse around us if we don't win this one, or everything's going to be great now because we've won this one.

Chris Wilder
Manager on Sheffield United…CRITISIM
You have to evolve. Am I a better manager than when I started? Yes, and then when I left here. I'm not daft. I don't think you have that longevity in football if you keep making the same mistakes. You learn from experiences and not always good ones."My favorite of all time was Sir Alex (Ferguson), if you see some of his early clips at Aberdeen. But one of the things you also see is a burning ambition to win the next game and be successful year in, year out. You have to move with the times and be in touch with players. That's something we all have to do if we want to stay in touch with the game.
..TEAM EVOLVE
We're playing in a certain way which is totally different to what we've played. The stats, comparable to the top clubs, are really healthy. The key, and the hardest thing, is the real detail. Whether Jayden Bogle goes through and puts it in the bottom corner or something happens at the top of the pitch where they show that quality. We're trying to bridge that gap, to play effective, winning football, and get that balance right but you have to move with the times, whether tactically, technically, from a stats point of view or mentality.
