Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder told BBC Radio Sheffield his team improved hugely in the second half of their 1-0 defeat away to Bristol City.

"We went with a different shape for this game. There's a few reasons why I wanted to have a little peek at that," he said.

"But shapes don't win games of football. Attitude and approaches do.

"In the first half as soon as they scored the goal, there were players doubting themselves, and they can't at this club. They have to have the character and the personality.

"In the second half was where I wanted to be, and I think that was recognised by the supporters.

"It was front-foot, it was positive, it was risk, it was quick and aggressive and it resulted in so many shots and crosses, but we have to win and that's what we're here to do".
