Brewster insists Sheffield Utd can stay up

Sheffield United striker Rhian Brewster insists they can still beat the drop.

The Blades are yet to win this season.

But fit-again Brewster says: “People have been behind me - the fans, the gaffer - and I want to replay the favour and keep the Bladesmen up.

“You could say it hasn't really started from a goals point of view but for me, it's just trying to get back to working hard and playing for the team.

“I think I've matured quite a bit in the three years I have been here. The gaffer has said he's seen that on and off the pitch with recovery, taking on information during games and the way I play. For example, if I wasn't in the team previously, I'd be angry and take it out during training. I wouldn't do everything properly. Now the gaffer says: 'You're going to be angry you're not in the team, but what do you do from there?'

“Ultimately if I'm training well then I'll be the first one to come on and change the game. He will trust me, if he knows I'm still taking on the information, so ultimately it's to help me but also the team. If I'm angry and not paying attention to the information that he might give to me on the Friday, and I do something different, then it could cost us the game. Then I can't blame anyone but myself."
