Chris Wilder makes Leeds United admission after Sheffield United clash

Chris Wilder Praises Leeds United After Sheffield United Defeat

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder has expressed admiration for Leeds United, stating that it’s uncertain if any team will finish above them this season.

Wilder’s comments came after his team’s 2-0 loss to Leeds at Elland Road. Despite the defeat, Wilder acknowledged Leeds’ exceptional squad and outstanding players.

“I’ve got no complaints about the result,” Wilder told the Irish News. “They’ve got top players, and their squad is laden with quality. We have to brush ourselves down and go again.”

Wilder emphasized that Leeds’ calibre is unmatched in the division, saying, “It’s been a good start, but we haven’t played anybody of this calibre.”

Leeds United’s Strong Position

The win propelled Leeds to second in the Championship table, tied with Sunderland on 19 points. With their strong squad and quality players, Leeds is well-positioned for promotion.

Last season’s 90-point tally narrowly missed promotion, but this term, Leeds seems determined to secure a Premier League return.

Championship Table (as of October 19, 2024)

1. Sunderland – 19 points, 10 GD
2. Leeds United – 19 points, 10 GD
3. Sheffield United – 19 points, 7 GD

Wilder’s praise underscores Leeds’ potential for success this season.
