Nerves of steel: Sheffield United won't relent in promotion push, insists Chris Wilder

Blades extended their decisive lead in the League One table with a 2-0 win over play-off pushing Millwall on Tuesday night.

Goals from Jack O'Connell and Kieran Freeman took United's unbeaten streak to 11 matches.

And promotion could be secured next Wednesday with a win over Coventry - and if other results go in their favour.

Blades' boss Chris Wilder believes his side have the confidence to carry on the form into the final stage of the season.

Wilder said: “There’s total belief amongst the players, they all believe in themselves and each other and you can see that with the way they’re playing, and the confidence they’re showing.

“Everyone else in the promotion race will be looking at it and asking who’s going to start showing the nerves and the pressure, and it’s not us.

"Whether we’ve had to defend well and preserve a clean sheet, or we’ve got the ball down and played some really good football, the players have that belief and confidence in abundance.

"I think anyone who’s watching us, and has watched us over the season, will be enjoying what they’re seeing.”

Millwall manager Neil Harris insists the game may have gone differently if United defender Jake Wright was sent off for a late, high tackle towards the end of the first half.

He said: "Wrighty is a great lad and a really good player. But as much as you don’t want to see red cards, you’re talking about violent conduct on a football pitch. If he forearm-smashes him it’s a red card. What’s the difference between that and taking him out with a volley?"

“So, professional tackle? Yes, by a senior player. Referee getting it wrong? Without a shadow of a doubt.

“There were big moments and that was one. At the other end Lee Gregory’s one-on-one chance is a huge moment, as was Shaun Williams’ chance from 10 yards.

“That was the difference between the sides. They took their chances at key moments and we didn’t.”
