When chaos began on the eve of the transfer deadline, Chris Wilder It’s a tall order to lead his side to victory over Millwall, who are currently securing a place in the Premier League championshipof play-offs.

Sheffield United boss previews Saturday’s game tell reporters: “They (Millwall) are a very honest group of players. I like the manager. I’ve known him for a long time.

“He started a successful managerial career at Hamilton and then moved into the Premier League at Norwich, he was a good operator and they had a really honest group of players and they found themselves in fifth place.

“So what can a team of honest players do for you? They want to fight, they want to run, they want to play football, they want to play effective football, they want to win games and they’ve done that. So it’s a big challenge and I’m looking forward to it.

“I really enjoy going there. It might sound silly, but I do. I think it’s a proper football stadium. It’s going to be packed. It’s going to be a great experience for our young players as well. We’ve talked to guys like Fermi, Brast, Sidi and Brooksy.”
