Sheffield United assistant manager Alan Knill speaking to BBC Radio Sheffield after boss Chris Wilder was sent off at the end of the first half.<\/p>\n
Wilder was shown a red card after kicking a ball away and accidentally into the stands before it struck a fan.<\/p>\n
The Blades manager instantly apologised but still received his marching orders.<\/p>\n
On Peck’s late disallowed goal: “We don’t think there is too much contact with the goalkeeper. He has gone for the ball and missed it. He has misjudged the flight of the ball and Peck has got the goal. They’ve seen something to make that decision.”<\/p>\n
On Southampton’s penalty: “It is a great first touch that commits Cooper, but I think Cooper is pulling out. Like any experienced striker does he puts the legs into him. Then it is up to the referee to make the decision. We don’t think it is a penalty but he made the decision. It set the tone.<\/p>\n
On Wilder getting sent off: “It is frustration about a lot of the decisions. Then when we are coming off the ball is there and he goes to kick it off the wall and hits it into the stands. He is disappointed and was the first to say sorry to wherever it landed.”<\/p>\n
On performance: “I think we have found the right positions but what we need to do is execute. Out of possession, we looked really good and solid and looked dangerous on the counter attack. You know the opposition is going to have the ball and you have to keep you shape and you’ll get the chances.<\/p>\n
“Tonight gives a lot of positives. When we walked in it was bigger than we thought, we underestimated it. The players have been really good. <\/p>\n
“The performances have been okay, not where we want to be but getting there. We were nearly really good tonight. A few more games of finding a shape we are comfortable in and we’ll get there.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wilder red card a result of ‘frustration’ around decisionspublished at 22:50 BST 22:50 BST FT: Sheffield Utd 1-2…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":76980,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-181199","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-soccer","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/181199","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=181199"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/181199\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/76980"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=181199"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=181199"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=181199"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
