Wilder 'quite emotional' after Blades win

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder lauded his players for the effort they showed in their 2-1 win over Watford.

Goals from Gustavo Hamer and Andre Brooks secured a first win in three games to reignite the Blades' promotion charge.

"I'm quite emotional about today; it was an incredible effort by everybody," Wilder told BBC Radio Sheffield.

"We are so stretched; some players shouldn't have set foot on the pitch let alone played 75 or 90 minutes. How Tom Davies has played 90 minutes I'll never know.

"The effort and character of the boys when we are up against it. It was fine margins against Burnley, West Brom and Sunderland, Watford have a good home record."

Wilder also called on his team to continue in this vein in order to secure an immediate Premier League return.

He said: "We have to use this. The supporters were incredible today - they recognised the boys were running on empty. We couldn't shake things up.

"Too much is made about style and performance. You've got to want to win. They deserved that win - the players and supporters."
