Sheffield Utd boss Wilder raps players: Where were you 15 games ago?

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder laid into his beleaguered players this weekend.

The Blades lost 5-1 to Newcastle United in the Premier League, despite taking a 1-0 lead.

Wilder was asked post-game if any players had changed his mind about their quality.

Players will not change my mind over the last three or four games," he told reporters.

Where have you been 15 games ago? Or 25 games ago?

They can't automatically turn it on in the final embers of a season and expect me to go, 'I'll tell you what, you've been all right by the way'.

Unfortunately, the season lasts for 38 games. Every part of it has not been good enough.

Some of the games, the white flag has gone up. That has been unacceptable."
