Wilder angry with 'limp, lacklustre' Blades

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder spoke to BBC Radio Sheffield after his side's 2-0 defeat at West Brom.

"I'm really annoyed and angry. As annoyed and angry as I've been for a long, long time," he said.

"I didn't see it coming, I thought first half we were pretty good but you have to be more clinical. Everyone in the ground smelt the atmosphere before and the vulnerability of the opponent and that is when you have to be at your ruthless best.

"We've just allowed them to dominate the game and never looked like getting back in it. It felt like they thought the game would come to them and they didn't need to do the fundamental basics.

"I apologise for that, we have to own it. We need to stick our chests out and take the criticism that comes our way for a second half performance that was miles off it and I mean miles off it.

"It could quite easily have been three or four and we couldn't have had any complaints. It's a massive backwards step.

"It was limp, lacklustre and everything I hate in a player and as a team. I have had to express that to the players."
