'No energy, no sharpness to our play at all' - Wilder

Blades boss Chris Wilder speaking to BBC Radio Sheffield after his side lost 3-1 to Blackburn:

"Miles off of it, no energy, no sharpness to our play at all. The first goal was always going to be important, they've had some decent results. They're compact, they're organised, they hit you on the break.

"We had to get the first goal but we didn't and we were loose in terms of our passing. They broke on us and if we defend like that then they are going to punish us. There was no energy in the middle of the park and just the looseness about our general play.

"We've not defended well enough at all, we've not got out to stop crosses we've not defended in the box, we've not defended well enough as a back four. From 3-0 down at half-time is a long way to come back.

"We changed the shape [in the second half], we played more direct and there was more energy about us. We went to the end but it's not going to be a pat on the back and a congratulations, the first half was not good enough. I wasn't expecting it we were expecting to finish on a high to try and get to 60 points tonight and to get to 66 and that would still be an achievement in my eyes.

"But it was lethargic approach from us. We've got to get it right for Saturday because I don't want everyone to feel like this in our last home game. We've got to own it and we've got to move on."
