Sheffield Utd boss Wilder frustrated with Forest defeat

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder was left frustrated with defeat to Nottingham Forest.

Wilder felt they were the better performers on the day.

He said: "Press play and repeat. Goals change attitudes of games completely. To have nine opportunities, and not half-opportunities, good opportunities, we could have been two or three up.

"Everyone knows Hudson-Odoi has quality. Scratching my head how it was 1-1 at half-time. We should have been out of sight, without a doubt. We were by far the better team. They have got a lot to play for, we know that. But in terms of how we moved the ball and attacked it was really good. But we have got to put teams to bed. If we don't do that, then we open the door. We opened ourselves to the counter-attack and they punished us."

On bringing youngsters into the team, he added: "We know they have got to be good enough. We have got some young players out there now. We don't want to just give them favours. They have got to be good enough to be involved in first-team training and then with the selection process.

"It is a disappointing result because we should have put them to bed. We didn't do enough to put them to bed and when they got that opportunity, they did that."
