Sheffield United's manager, Chris Wilder, expressed confidence ahead of the Championship play-off final against Sunderland, emphasizing that the team's past play-off disappointments will not hinder their performance. This match marks their fifth final, with a record of no previous promotions despite four attempts. Wilder dismissed negative narratives, stating the team wants to forge a new chapter. Having recently triumphed over Bristol City in the semi-finals, he highlighted a positive team attitude and physical readiness for the game at Wembley, evidencing a shift in mentality since missing out on automatic promotion.
"I've been to the majority of the [play-off defeats] and I was probably saying the same thing as what the majority of the punters are saying as well."
"There's been a real reset since we missed out on promotion... We managed that. We're in great shape physically."
