Paul Heckingbottom says Sheffield United 'will keep getting better' ahead of Wednesday night's Championship clash with Sunderland at Bramall Lane. A late goal from Chuba Akpom denied the Blades what would have been their second league win of the season on Sunday, in a 2-2 draw with Middlesbrough.
Heckingbottom was pleased with his side's performance at the Riverside, Sheffield United twice taking the lead as they faced off against former boss Chris Wilder and could have won the game. The Blades have picked up four points from their opening three games so far this season, Sunderland up next on Wednesday night.
And although Heckingbottom was disappointed to drop points, he's convinced his side will get better as the season goes on. Speaking to SUTV, he said: "First and foremost I enjoyed the game, I thought it had all sorts in it and I've just said to the players when I enjoy the game it usually means we've done well.
