Sheffield United has finally broken their challenging early-season spell, securing their first Sky Bet Championship points with a much-needed 1-0 victory against Oxford.
The win, earned at Oxford’s home ground, came courtesy of a second-half goal from Callum O’Hare, which proved sufficient to secure a slender victory for Chris Wilder’s side over Gary Rowett’s team.
The victory is a massive relief for the Blades, who had lost their opening six games of the season and scored only once in that dismal run.
Manager Chris Wilder was immensely proud of the achievement, stating that the result ‘felt great for the players and the supporters,’ acknowledging the ‘tough period for everybody’ that the club has endured.
Wilder, who has watched the team from afar and up close in recent weeks, praised his players for their dedication, saying they ‘wanted to leave everything out there which they did.’ He noted a significant improvement in the team's display during the second half, describing their performance as ‘more like us’—more composed, calmer, and with greater belief.
The manager highlighted that there were ‘some really good performances out there’ during the match, indicating a potential turning point for the squad.
The single goal by Callum O’Hare was enough to lift the spirits at the club and provide a foundational win upon which they can now try to build some momentum.
The victory over Oxford is a crucial step for the Blades as they look to climb the table and put their catastrophic start behind them.
