The crowd were tremendous - Wilder

Chris Wilder praised the Bramall Lane crowd for trying to lift his side as his homecoming was spoilt by another poor Sheffield United performance.

The Blades manager saw his side make it six straight defeats at the start of the season by losing 1-0 at home to Charlton Athletic.

He told BBC Radio Sheffield: "We've got a bit of work to do.

"There are some bits and pieces out of there I was pretty pleased with, but there's a lot of stuff that definitely needs some work on the training ground.

"We came in today in a positive mood after a good week's work but the key is having the nuts to do it on a Saturday afternoon, because that's where everybody is judged, players and myself.

"The crowd were tremendous and tried to lift us and drive us forward, give us that energy that we need, but then it slipped away a bit towards the end of the second half and became quite chaotic.

"I saw an honest performance but you have to get that balance right, and with the quality we have got we never really showed that, or any control on the game.

"The goal is a chaotic goal, a straight ball, a flick-on and then two versus two and the boy finds a pass in the 90th minute."
