This was madness. Six-pointer season, suddenly upon them after Nottingham Forest’s win at Newcastle, had left both teams picking over leftovers. It was Luton who took the spoils from mayhem that was largely Sheffield United’s doing.
Where Luton’s spirit and determination has been apparent from the opening kicks of the season, it has taken until the second coming of Chris Wilder for the Blades to exhibit similar qualities. In his fifth game since replacing Paul Heckingbottom he ripped up his own gameplan and his team snatched a deserved lead only for composure to desert them. United’s prodigal manager did not conceal his disdain.
