‘The players were extremely brave’ – Wilder

Must read

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder has praised his team for ‘going right to the end’ in their late, late 2-1 win at Bristol City.

The Blades scored in the 86th and 98th minute to come from behind and move up to second place in the Championship.

“I didn’t think it was a smash and grab, we just needed to raise our levels at half-time and we couldn’t so we made some changes,” Wilder told BBC Radio Sheffield.

“I thought we started playing in the last 20 minutes after we went 1-0 down.

“Credit to the players, it’s nothing to do with myself or the coaching staff, the players put themselves in that position through decision making.”

Wilder’s side now take a three match winning streak into Sunday’s Steel City derby against Sheffield Wednesday.

“What you’ve seen is a team that goes right to the end.

“The players were extremely brave, went for the winner and they were memorable scenes for the supporters who’ve made a long journey on a Tuesday night.”
