'Consistency is now key' - Wilder
- Published
Sheffield United have dragged themselves out of the relegation zone and head coach Chris Wilder is now calling for consistency, not just in terms of results but, more importantly, performance.
The Blades travel to Leicester on Saturday (12:30 GMT) knowing a third successive league win could take them up to 18th in the Championship.
Tuesday's 3-0 win over Portsmouth was only the second time this season Wilder's side have posted back-to-back victories in 2025-26.
"I've said it to the players, always the biggest compliment you can be given, myself, the coaches and the football club is they know what they're going to get when they play Sheffield United," Wilder said. "I think that's coming together now.
"[We're] not always guaranteed the result but you know, performances, we want sevens and eights out of 10.
"We don't want a nine out of 10 and we don't want a four out of 10. We don't want to go from there in games as well, to there as well, which obviously we did in a couple of the games.
"The Preston game [a 3-2 defeat in late October] possibly the most recent one.
"Consistency is really key."
