Sheffield United seek contract deals as Wilder eyes recovery

Summarised from 2 outlets · 3 reports · Updated 16 Oct, 11:32 · Archive

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder is working on key contract agreements as he prepares for what he expects to be a difficult season.

Chris Wilder is focusing on securing key contract deals at Sheffield United as the club navigates what the manager describes as a challenging campaign. Wilder told BBC Radio Sheffield he is expecting a 'rollercoaster Championship season' with fluctuating form, noting that many clubs competing for the top ten are likely to experience similar inconsistency.

The Blades have won three, drawn three and lost four of their Championship matches this season. After a 3-2 defeat at Portsmouth on Wednesday, Sheffield United travel to Bristol City on Saturday, currently two points and three places below the hosts.

Wilder acknowledged that the club has underperformed relative to expectations. 'Have we got as many points as we thought we should have got? No, but that's down to me and down to the players,' he said. He stressed the need for the side to focus on performances, believing results will follow. Sheffield United will be without midfielder Hamza Choudhury at Bristol City after his red card against Portsmouth, while full-back Matt Doughty faces three weeks out with a knee injury. Striker Ryan One returns to the matchday squad.
