Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder says tough decisions will be needed ahead of returning to the Championship.

Wilder was speaking after defeat at Everton.

He stated: "Not tough at all. It is amazing because my wife would possibly say that I am soft with our kids, but not in this industry. I haven't got to where I've got, over 1,000 games in management without that ruthless streak. Knowing what I want, what the team wants, what the club wants.

"If I get given that opportunity to take the team forward as you have seen previously my team will fight, play, run and have belief and confidence. It is a tough division and you get found out.

"I've not had the impact on the group that I would have liked to have had, but I'm not sure many managers would have had a better impact, that is the way it is. We have to move on quickly and get it right for next year. We need to give them something to shout about next year."
