Chris Wilder spoke to BBC Match of the Day after Sheffield United's defeat
Chris Wilder has admitted he and his Sheffield United coaching staff are facing “tough decisions” ahead of Wednesday night’s trip to Manchester United, with the position of goalkeeper Ivo Grbic one of those under scrutiny. The Croatian international had another unconvincing afternoon on Saturday against Burnley, leading to further question marks about his place. The goalkeeper has not enjoyed a good start to life at Bramall Lane since joining from Atletico Madrid in January, with Wilder publicly...
Sheffield United have made four changes to their side for this evening’s trip to Manchester United, with Chris Wilder making a change in goal. Ivo Grbic’s latest unconvincing display, against Burnley at the weekend in a 4-1 defeat, has seen him taken out of the firing line, with Wes Foderingham coming back in for his first start since February 18. Grbic is on the bench, alongside James McAtee and youngster Owen Hampson. Cameron Archer comes in to start, as does Mason Holgate and youngster Andre...
Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder admits he is facing some big decisions ahead of his side’s trip to Manchester United tomorrow evening. Top of the list for the Blades chief is a call on his goalkeeper, with a number of Unitedites calling for Ivo Grbic to be taken out of the firing line after another unconvincing display in defeat to Burnley at the weekend. Wilder, who was scathing about a lack of leadership after that 4-1 loss saw the Blades take another step closer to relegation, must also...
Sheffield United’s players have been challenged to put in a “proper man performance” at Manchester United on Wednesday night as they look to recover quickly from Saturday’s home defeat to rivals Burnley. That result left the Blades effectively 11 points adrift of fourth-bottom Nottingham Forest, with just five games to go. Responding to that disappointment against Erik ten Hag’s side will be a tall order for a side with one league win away from home all season, but boss Chris Wilder and those...
Chris Wilder believes that the bond between Sheffield United’s players and fans has taken a huge step forward in recent weeks after the Blades’ efforts in defeat at Brentford on Saturday were acknowledged in the away end. As Brentford’s players and manager began their own victory lap with scenes in the home end reminiscent of winning the FA Cup, travelling Blades showed their appreciation to their beaten players with a heartfelt and spontaneous reception. A side that was widely decried after a...
Chris Wilder has implored Sheffield United fans to give Sander Berge a warm reception upon his return to Bramall Lane with Burnley this weekend - until kick-off, at least. The Norwegian midfielder left Bramall Lane in the summer for the Clarets after entering the final year of his Blades contract, with United taking the decision not to risk him leaving on a free. Berge, United’s previous record signing from Genk, was a big part of United’s promotion back to the Premier League last season and has...
Sheffield United are set to exercise options to keep some of their out-of-contract stars next season, Chris Wilder has revealed, with striker Daniel Jebbison close to agreeing a new deal to remain at Bramall Lane. As many as 18 players could leave the Blades this summer if United drop into the Championship, a mixture of players at the end of their deals, expiring loans and Cameron Archer’s relegation release clause. United are set to take up their option to retain Ben Osborn for at least another...
Utility man Ben Osborn has opened up on his desire to remain at Sheffield United beyond the expiry of his current contract in the summer. The 29-year-old has been with the Blades since arriving from Nottingham Forest in the summer of 2019, and signed a new one-year deal in the summer. Despite some fitness issues this season he has shown his worth in a variety of positions of late, operating both in midfield and at left wing-back in recent weeks with Max Low and Rhys Norrington-Davies injured and...
Sheffield United have made one change to their starting XI for this afternoon’s trip to Brentford after the injury blow of losing skipper Jack Robinson. The centre-half limped off late in Sunday’s draw with Chelsea at Bramall Lane and despite boss Chris Wilder admitting he would give Robinson every chance to prove his fitness, he misses out with an ankle issue. In comes defender Yasser Larouci to play left-wing back, with Auston Trusty shifting inside to left centre-half. That means Ben Osborn...
