Wilder's verdict on Luton defeat

Chris Wilder's honest verdict on Sheffield United's disappointing home defeat to Luton Town

Transcript

00:00 I didn't want to go too much into Friday night because we were outstanding for a lengthy

00:08 period of the game in terms of organisation and defensive structure but we didn't really

00:15 have to work hard for their equaliser on Friday night because we weren't great, we didn't

00:19 get on the pitch, we didn't clear that area and we've done exactly the same tonight.

00:23 We don't stop across, we didn't stop across on Friday night, we didn't stop across tonight,

00:28 we have to do whatever we need to do to stop that cross coming in the box and we didn't.

00:32 He swung on his left and we're in the six yard box and anything can happen, it's not

00:36 all good, it's self-inflicted. Then obviously the goal, the third goal in the man five minutes,

00:43 the boys just jumping into the heart of our defence, that's just organisation,

00:47 just getting people over, taking it in, stepping in front of people.

00:51 The boys turned the net up too easy, they just come off and people will say yet again,

00:57 that's unlucky isn't it because it's self-inflicted. We got ourselves off the canvas,

01:02 I wasn't too enamoured with our first half performance, I thought we were backward and

01:06 square and very passive and I'll definitely take the temperature and the pace of the game.

01:13 In the north hall we had opportunities and we were a threat and then second half it was us

01:20 and it was me looking to our right and we deservedly got back into the game, deservedly

01:25 to the lead in my opinion and really from that position we should have got on to win the game

01:32 comfortably. I'm not being disrespectful to anybody at Luton Town and Rob and people talk

01:38 about their character and how they got themselves back into the game. I know about the character,

01:45 they're a club built on character, built on team and work ethic, pretty much similar to what we're

01:52 about because we've had to beat that way but they didn't have to work hard for their goals,

01:59 it was basically tossed over to them.
