Momentum is key ahead of play-offs - McCallum

Sheffield United left-back Sam McCallum says it is imperative his side go into the Championship play-offs in good form after they missed out on automatic promotion.

The 24-year-old scored the opening goal in the Blades' 2-0 victory at Stoke City on Friday, which ended a run of three consecutive league defeats on the road.

"The momentum going into the play-offs is key," McCallum told BBC Radio Sheffield.

"I think if we can get three points from the next game [Blackburn at home] then there's a good feeling in the dressing room that we can go all the way to Wembley and win.

"It [Sheffield United] is a good place. There's obviously no pressure on us at the moment.

"We've secured [the] play-offs so I think it's now all about the boys playing with freedom, creating goals and enjoying the memories."
