Sheffield United 2-1 Wolves: What Heckingbottom said
- Published
Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "Feeling a bit of everything. It was a hard-fought but well-deserved victory. It was a tame first half, both teams feeling each other out. We played with much more aggression and were forceful in the second half. We were dominant but Wolves defended well and chances were at a premium but we had the moments that would've won us the game and it would've been harsh if we didn't."
On Cameron Archer's goal: "Good goal - I was comfortable with Cam going through one on one but if you watch it back they have some good pace chasing him down which forces him to take the shot earlier and he went for power and he's got that finish."
Thoughts when VAR taking a long time: "Honestly I try not to think about it. This season we have been in that position several times. I was hoping, praying it wasn't one of those occasions where it was overturned. When the decision was made we needed Ollie [Norwood] to execute and the players did really well there for Ollie to take his moment.
"Ollie has taken penalties for us before, he's a clean striker of the ball. VAR adds to the tension and difficulty of taking a penalty so it's a good idea to just hit it like that."
On fans: "They've been brilliant all season. They want to see the lads give everything. That's the type of performance everyone wants to see and everyone contributes to that players and fans.
"Our position [in the league] hasn't changed. It's time for cool heads and to understand what a battle and what a division we're in. We need more of that. We got ourselves in a position to force the issue at half time. We've been in that position a lot, at half time and even in injury time, and not been able to get over the line so that was a big one. It's about getting in a position to capitalise as much as possible."
