We are solely focusing on Saturday but we are confident we can go and play any team and go and get a result but getting Saturday boxed off is the biggest thing then we can look at attacking the play offs in the manner than we have attacked all season.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sheffield United&#8217;s third place finish was confirmed on Easter Monday but Wilder remained positive on the season that his side have had. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said: &#8220;It&#8217;s been a fantastic season. If we are going to finish two wins off 100 points, I can&#8217;t really be beating our players up about performances and their efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reflecting on the 2024\/25 season, the Blades manager said: &#8220;to get into the nineties, to get over two points per game is incredibly important to all of us, no medals for doing that, understandable.&#8221;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Injury updates for Ben Bereton Diaz and Tom Davies were included with Davies confirmed to get a few minutes tomorrow night after being out with injury since February.
