Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder was delighted with his side’s display in their 3-1 win over Ipswich Town
Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder said his side got ‘everything spot on’ in their 3-1 win over red-hot Ipswich Town yesterday.
The Blues entered the game unbeaten in seven, while the Blades had lost three in a row – but it was the home side who emerged from a fiery clash with all three points.

Wilder enthused: “I thought we were outstanding from the off.
“It has been a tough week, a really tough week, you probably saw pre-match how I was feeling, bit of noise around the place at the moment, always seems to be reaction to everything, it is a never a controlled opinion of where we are at.
“It has been a really difficult week, but that hasn’t been from above. The board and Steve (Bettis) have been brilliant in terms of looking to support what we need to do and that has been difficult too, getting deals over the line, then the fixture list throws us up one of the top sides in the division.
“They’ve been building for a few years, they were good in the Premier League last season, were unfortunate to drop out and are on a roll after a slow start.
“The perception would have been of a comfortable away win, and a few things have poked the bear a little bit.
“The stadium was edgy and spikey, but we played well. Tactically we got it absolutely spot on and that isn’t just me, there are a lot of us involved in that.”

Speaking to the Blades’ website, Wilder added: “We’ve produced performances like this against Birmingham, Stoke at home and away and Leicester, this isn’t a one off.
“We went toe-to-toe with a very decent side and I believe we deserved the win.
“I’ve got an unbelievable amount of respect for Kieran McKenna, he’s an unbelievable young coach, but we got everything spot on.
“Even towards the end, the changes we made as a group of coaches, getting the press right and managing the game was brilliant for us.”
