It was meant to be Sheffield United’s day to celebrate their amazing achievements in 2017 but Gary Madine gatecrashed the สโบเบ็ต party. Jeered before kick-off like the pantomime villain, it was Madine – the former Sheffield Wednesday striker – who netted the winner in a display tagged a “smash and grab” win by Blades boss Chris Wilder. United had gone into the game hoping the 3-0 Boxing Day win over Sunderland had cured their recent poor run of results – no win in six games. Victory on Saturday would have even seen United smash the club record for the highest amount of points in สโบเบ็ต a calendar year. Instead, Wilder cut a frustrated figure – after a run of five games at Bramall Lane which has brought just four points – when he entered the post-match press conference, over an hour after the final whistle. “There was no inquest,” he insisted to สโบเบ็ต The Yorkshire Post. “Just a sensible talk that we can’t keep being a mug side, it was a smash and grab. “I thought they started the first 15 minutes better than us, turned it into the game they wanted. “It was very frustrating. We created chances, but we were poor in finishing it off and we made poor decisions in the final third.”
