FROM THE GAFFER
“Sheffield United are a good team, they showed that in the game earlier in the season. They have a lot of Premier League players within their ranks and we know that we will have to perform well. There were plenty of positives from Tuesday night, we can’t ignore the last five minutes, but we also can’t be too downhearted by the rest of the game. We want to bounce back from the disappointing defeat to Coventry City in our last home game,” Darren Ferguson said.
