“No breaking…” – Sheffield United dressing-room vow after poor run sparks noise increase

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder has stated that external criticism will not break the bond between himself and his squad following a poor run of form. The Blades entered the international break having suffered four defeats in their last five matches, including a 2-1 loss against Stoke City and a 1-0 defeat to Fleetwood Town.

Wilder acknowledged that the team could face a negative atmosphere from supporters when they return to action at home against Lincoln City. However, he expressed confidence in his players' character to reverse their fortunes, citing Stoke City's recent resurgence as an example for his side to follow.
