"A lot of people were expecting the crowd and players to respond to Chris Wilder coming back. There are clearly issues at Sheffield United. Not issues that can't be overcome because it is so early in the season, but there is obviously a lack of confidence and chemistry. It is alarming to lose seven games straight at any level of football. It wasn't going to be a quick fix."
"Creatively they are lacking. They've only scored once in the league; they didn't lose loads from last year but Jesurun Rak-Sakyi for one, Kieffer Moore, trying to rekindle what [Gustavo] Hamer did last year will be one of Wilder's main focuses. He is a game changer. They are a team who don't know what they are right now, whereas Charlton and Nathan Jones absolutely do know what they're about."
Sheffield United rehired Chris Wilder less than two months after his second spell ended and sacked Ruben Selles, but Wilder's return began with a 1-0 90th-minute defeat to Charlton at Bramall Lane. Parkin highlighted clear confidence, chemistry and creative issues, noting scoring struggles and a need to rekindle last season's spark. Wrexham beat Norwich 3-2 at Carrow Road with a Josh Windass brace and a Ryan Longman strike to move level on points. Queens Park Rangers beat high-flying Stoke City, while Bradford City and Gillingham made strong early statements in Leagues One and Two respectively.
