Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder was left bemused by his side's performance following their 2-1 loss at Norwich City on Wednesday night.

Following a bright opening half hour where Jairo Riedewald slammed in a volley to take the lead for the Blades in the 20th minute, United failed to keep a foothold on the game.

Norwich's Jack Stacey and Amankwah Forson both scored in the second half to complete a comeback victory for the Canaries at Carrow Road.

"It's some good stuff and not so good stuff. Sort of scratching my head at the amount of times we turned the ball over, even in the first half after a really good half an hour where we get ourselves in front, deservedly so.

"Sort of quiet in the crowd, which you want to do away from home, and put your noses in front, but still get opportunities there to go and get the second and just not finding that connection, not finding that rhythm.

"If you invite that on and you give good players - who are obviously in form and going well, and they're a technical side - if you turn the ball over to them, they're going to come back at you and apply pressure and then give their players energy because the crowd are on the front foot."
