Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder spoke to BBC Radio Sheffield after the Blades suffered a surprise 3-0 defeat at home to relegation battlers Hull City.

"Just maybe a game too far for us a little bit. I wanted to get through this game," Wilder said.

"I felt we were still stretched a little bit, playing a left-back in the middle of the park.

"Obviously putting boys into the team as well on a first start, so it was a little bit disjointed.

"Poor goals from our point of view. The first one gives them a huge lift. Then you could see, all of a sudden they sit into a low block and it's up to us to break them down.

"We couldn't find that rhythm and that bit of quality. And then the second goal was another poor goal to give away. And the third goal, we're chasing the game.

"It's a disappointing night. There will be twists and turns right the way through. We've put ourselves in a really good position. We can't rest on our laurels and not get over this.

"We have to get over this pretty quickly. The cavalry are coming, reinforcements are coming, boys are coming back from injury. We just have to accept we've been beaten.

"We've won plenty of games this season. I'm not going to beat the boys up for it. Other people can, they can beat me up, but I'm not going to."
