After Sheffield United returned to the top spot, Chris Wilder was questioned about Leeds United.
After witnessing his Blades team recover Championship top spot, Blades manager Chris Wilder delivered a conclusion that was “miles ahead” of Leeds United and Sheffield United.
Leeds defeated Derby County 2-0 at home on Saturday, moving Daniel Farke’s Whites into first place on goal differential while Wilder’s team fell to second place despite playing one fewer game.
Sheffield United then had their chance when they played West Brom at 3 p.m. on Sunday. The game finished in a 2-2 tie, moving the Bramall Lane team back into first place and one point ahead of Leeds.
However, as he celebrated a point at The Hawthorns and described his own team’s Championship “fight,” Wilder later asserted that Farke’s Whites were “miles ahead” of his own.
According to the Sheffield Star, Wilder stated, “These boys are learning on the job, at the top of the division.” “I’ve just been asked a question about being in contention with Leeds United – Leeds are miles ahead of us.
Our challenge is to get better both as a team and as individuals. and attempting to gain points as you go. All I’m thinking about is us. The team has excellent qualities, and this was a huge challenge for us.
We survived the storm, but you could tell it was a big game beforehand, and they recognised it from the way they started. Both teams wanted to win, so we’ll learn from that. Late in the game, there was a bit of a basketball game and a lack of control. It’s crucial that we learnt something from the game, and I’m happy we did.
