Micky Adams is hoping that the fear of the drop will motivate his players

Sheffield United manager Micky Adams says the fear of playing in League One should be all the motivation his players need to beat the drop.

The Blades are currently five points from safety in the Championship.

Adams asked on BBC Radio Sheffield: "Do they want to be playing in a lower division next year?

"Some might think that, because they are under contract, my coming in will not affect them. But if someone is not pulling his weight he will be told."

The Blades have not won any of their 10 games since Adams took over as manager in December.
