'Team picked should have been good enough' - Wilder

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder was left "disappointed" that the side he selected was unable to beat Mansfield as they were stunned by the in-form League One outfit in a thrilling 4-3 defeat at Bramall Lane in the FA Cup third round.

Wilder made 10 changes from the side that comfortably beat Leicester City on New Year's Day before their planned match against Oxford United was postponed just two hours prior to kick-off last Sunday due to a frozen pitch.

He told BBC Radio Sheffield: "Incredibly disappointed. I said I think the players might be a little bit bored of me going after them – this was an opportunity.

"I picked a team today to win a game of football, the changes that we made, we had to make. I'm not resting anybody - that team I picked, should have been good enough to win.

"I feel sorry for Adam Davies. The goals that we conceded are ridiculous. The centre forward has dominated the two defenders all afternoon.

"Today was an opportunity for people to stick themselves right in front of me and go, 'why aren't I playing?'.

"[Andre] Brooks just played where he wanted to play, Femi [Seriki] didn't do what he needed to do. Pat [Bamford] came on and made a big difference."
