'A little renewed hope' for Sheffield United

Saturday's win at Luton was readily welcomed by Sheffield United fans.

A first away win, a disciplined and clinical performance and maybe a little renewed hope. It is also the first time United have scored three goals away from home in the top flight since March 1993.

If nothing else, it shows the Blades can win games at this level and produce some competitive moments for their fans. There is nothing worse than a season just petering out and there was a danger of that happening if they lost to Luton.

As it is, they are seven points from safety with games against Brighton and Wolves to come. They are difficult, of course, but one or two may just have pondered this week what the table might look like if they can take four or even six points from the next two games.

Meanwhile, Vini Souza has been a hotly debated player in his debut season so it was good to see him get a goal. Our BBC Radio Sheffield summariser Carl Asaba was genuinely excited to see him playing as well as he did and hopefully he can go on from here.

Chris Wilder spoke about engaging the fans after a torrid previous game against Aston Villa. That feels like job done, so let's see if the Blades can avenge their FA Cup defeat against the Seagulls.
