Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder said the Blades are in ‘good shape’ following their 1-1 draw against Brighton at Bramall Lane on Saturday in the Premier League.

However, the Blades boss also vented his frustration after many fans left the stadium early and didn’t stay long to clap the players for the efforts.

Sheffield United find themselves sixth in the Premier League with 40 points, and are dreaming of securing a place in the European competition next season.

Wilder has rightly pointed out (relayed by Andy Giddings) that to achieve this position, being a promoted side, is a matter of pride, and many teams in the Premier League would love to swap positions with them.

Many Sheffield United fans have responded to the tweet to share the opinion. Some of them feel that fans should stay and appreciate the good work the team has done in such a short time, while there are others who feel it is up to the individual’s choice.

Here are some of the selected tweets:

Midweek 8pm kick off and got to rush for last train I understand. Saturday afternoon I see no excuse. The lads give there all. For saving 5 minutes worth of traffic let’s show we appreciate that effort. Could make the difference in some players saying no when other clubs come in.

No respect, zero, for anyone who regularly leaves early. Now even the gaffers pulled you up for it. Have a think, reset, catch the next bus/tram or whatever. Blades to the end. The end. #twitterblades
