Wilder Makes “Unbelievable” Comment Ahead of Bristol City Clash As He Hints At Changes
Wilder Makes “Unbelievable” Comment Ahead of Bristol City Clash As He Hints At Changes Bristol City host Sheffield United at Ashton Gate on Monday afternoon in the Sky Bet Championship, with both sides looking to find consistency as the season nears its conclusion. The Robins come into the fixture hoping to build on what has been a steady, if slightly underwhelming, campaign. Earlier in the season, they appeared well placed to mount a serious push for the play-offs, but a run of just one win since February has left them 10 points adrift of the top six.
Despite that drop-off, they remain a competitive outfit and will see this home clash as an opportunity to keep their slim hopes alive. For the Blades, frustration has been a defining theme throughout the campaign. Their recent 3-3 draw against Swansea City highlighted both their attacking quality and their inability to see games out.
Having now dropped 30 points from winning positions, it is a statistic that continues to weigh heavily on Chris Wilder and his squad. Bristol City’s task has not been helped by a growing injury list, particularly in defence. George Tanner, Rob Atkinson, Rob Dickie and Luke McNally all remain sidelined and could miss the rest of the season.
Midfielder Josh Williams is also unavailable, while Ross McRorie is the latest concern following the Good Friday win over Charlton Athletic. United also have their own issues to contend with. Tyrese Campbell has been ruled out for the remainder of the campaign, while Joe Rothwell continues to build fitness after returning to action.
Kalvin Phillips is another working his way back as Wilder looks to manage his squad carefully in the closing weeks.

I’m looking at my bench and going ‘who really deserves to be on the pitch?
