"It is not going to be a quick fix, like I said last week. I looked at the stats and it seems they gave up a lot of possession to Oxford. Gary Rowett's team has better players now and more ways to hurt the opposition. I always felt it was going to be a tough game. Chris Wilder had success last year being a transition team."
"It is almost back to the old. They tried to change with Ruben Selles and in time were going to become a team to dominate possession, but we saw Sheffield United in the Wilder guise that led to a pretty successful season last time. Callum O'Hare is playing in his preferred position as a number eight Gustavo Hamer is back in form."
Sheffield United secured their first win since Chris Wilder's return with Callum O'Hare's goal at Oxford, reverting toward a transition-based style despite ceding possession. Callum O'Hare is operating in his preferred number eight role and Gustavo Hamer has regained form, but the team needs consistency. Ipswich recorded consecutive home wins with goals from Jaden Philogene and George Hirst, suggesting improving form among pre-season promotion favourites. Lincoln City produced a strong victory over Peterborough in League One. In League Two, Grimsby scored seven against Cheltenham and Walsall returned to the top of the table.
