Wilder: 'Certainly not the result we wanted'

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder criticised his side's performance in their 1-1 draw at home to struggling West Brom.

The Blades were left frustrated after wasting several chances to double their advantage after George Campbell's second-half own goal before the Albion defender redeemed himself and rescued a point with a late leveller.

Wilder told BBC Radio Sheffield: "The performance wasn't of the standard I expect of the group, especially at this stage of the season.

"It was lose, we didn't really affect the game. The front four didn't affect the game enough and when you are in games like this - well, any home game - your front four have got to come alive.

"I didn't think we had enough out of them.

"Sydie [Peck] and Jairo [Riedewald] were OK. We had control of the game first half without really hurting them. When we got in those advanced positions we didn't really find any quality. I thought it was an average first-half performance.

"We got ourselves in front [then] we miss two or three really good chances. That second goal, we needed it because they were always going to stick it on us late on and we didn't handle it.

"The goal sort of summed it up really. Really bad decisions."

United will look to continue their late play-off charge when they return to action on Wednesday against Norwich City.
