Wilder happy with Sheffield Utd FA Cup win at Gillingham

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder was delighted with their FA Cup win at Gillingham.

The Blades were comfortable 4-0 winners via two goals each from William Osula and James McAtee.

Wilder said: "We haven't had many wins this season so to get back to that feeling for the players was good.

"We need to be consistent with our performances no matter which competition. It's different from the Premier League, we had more of the ball.

"Everyone in the media world has turned up today looking at this fixture and thought 'home win, Premier League team getting knocked out'. We had to make sure we did a job on Gillingham and we did that.

"We have some good young players. Andre Brooks was outstanding too. It was the first experience of playing at this level [for some youngsters]. It's fabulous for them they got through it. It's not under-21s football, it's full-on.

"We had to endure some tricky moments. Will [Osula] to get his two goals was great."
