Sheffield Utd boss Wilder: Victory at Luton was deserved

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder says victory at Luton was deserved.

The Blades were impressive for the 3-1 win.

Wilder said, "The reaction of the players this week has been great.

"Our attitude was only going to be answered when it is questioned on the pitch and I thought they were outstanding and deserved the result.

"We let everybody down last Saturday evening [in the 5-0 loss to Aston Villa], we can't get away from that and we have to own it. There is no hiding place, you are in the Premier League.

"We answered it in a great manner. Feet on the ground it has taken a long time to get that first away win.

"We have some young players learning in the hardest league in the world. Vini was outstanding. Now we just keep it going. We need to engage our supporters, we let them down last week and now we have to engage them again in the next game.

"I can't look too far ahead, I can't look at what the league table will look like at the end of the season. There was a structure about us, I thought we could counter and hurt them. The level of performance was good."
