Sheffield United - Knillys Views

Happy with performance

"I thought it was a better performance, I thought we looked more committed, we made tackles and made it difficult for them to play. Even though we lost, and we're not happy about that, But I thought the performance was better."


"I didnt think there was anything in it, but its one goal and it alwasy seems to happen as soon as we come out for the second half, so we'll have to take a look at that, its as if the players realax and wait to get going in the second half, but by then it's too late they've scored one, but we kept going and had a couple of chances, I thought it was an even game."

Sharp

When asked about the Butler/Hoskins partnership up front, "I think its going to be a slow process but its working really well so far, Butt's needs that pace around him and its just training field work, can we get them working together better than that, if they can keep working then hopefully they can get better."


With the three teams above us all gaining points, the confirmation of relegation has got a bit nearer, "I cant do anything about other results, I don't worry about Forest and Gillingham I just worry about ourselves. The players are happy about the performance but not the result as we never are when we lose, but we look forward to Gillingham next week."


Chris Swails was taken off injured, "He has something to do with his hip, at first we thought it was his head as it always seems to be, but hes had a knock on his hip and we'll see how he is in the morning."

Injured

Meanwhile on the transfer front, Knill is expecting a newcoming next week, and is on record on the official site that its a definate. He told Radio Sheffield "We're waiting for a phonecall on Monday and hopefully we can get somebody in. We've phoned everybody and unfortunately its the part of the season where they dont want to let players out. But hopefully we will have next week."

"We are looking for a midfield player who can be strong in there and stop people from playing but there aren't many around, but hopefully we will have one next week." Knill told the official site

Looking towards another 6 point basebent battle against Gillingham next week, "I'm not going to say that we're down until its mathematical impossible, but it's a big big game, but we competed today against a team thats been near the top 6 all season, so if we do the same next week then hopefully we'll win."
