Chris Wilder praised the quality of Burnley and Leeds United after they secured automatic promotion, meaning Sheffield United will enter the play-offs. Despite a strong performance throughout the season, where they spent 143 days in the top two, United's recent poor form led to their drop to third. Wilder acknowledged the competitiveness of the Championship and emphasized the need to improve defensively. He remains optimistic about his team's chances in the play-offs and is eager for strong finishes in the final two matches of the season.
For those two teams to have the ability to hit 100 points shows what the division is like, and we're the third-best team in the division.
The goals [against Burnley] have killed us. We conceded two poor goals - we have to do better on the clearance, and the penalty hands the initiative back to them.
Despite their recent drop in form, Wilder is targeting a strong finish in their last two games of the season to go into the play-offs on a high.
We've got to dust ourselves off and go again. There will be some big games now, and the home game at Bramall Lane will be off the scale.
