Rowett on first league win and Wilder test
- Published
Oxford United boss Gary Rowett has been speaking to the media ahead of hosting bottom side Sheffield United on Saturday (15:00 BST).
Here are some of the key lines:
Following their first win of the season against Bristol City, Rowett says that he felt the three points "was coming."
He said: "It was another improvement on Coventry second half, another improvement on the Leicester first half and to put that into a three game run into three tough sides makes the win feel more important."
However, he is keen for them to not "get too excited" and "maintain their hunger" as they look to back up the win against the Blades.
Rowett admits that Sheffield United will be "a different animal" now boss Chris Wilder has taken over but that he's expecting them to "take time to gel"
He also says that while he's encouraged by his side's creativity, he wants to work on their defence.
He added: "We just need to find that defensive balance as well. I think if we were sat here having scored nine goals and conceded six, which was maybe our average last year, the league would look very different."
