Daily Star Sunday

SHEFFIELD UNITED boss Chris Wilder is convinced his side are ready to break the club's play-off curse and seal promotion.

The Blades fought back in their final Championship match of the regular season to draw 1-1 against Blackburn, who fell short in their own bid to snatch a top-six finish.

Yuki Ohashi gave Blackburn a second-half lead after Ryan Hedges started the move, before Anel Ahmedhodzic equalised nine minutes later.

United, who have failed in eight previous attempts to win promotion via the play-offs, will face Bristol City in the first leg of their semi-final on Thursday.

Wilder (below) said: "The energy has been reset. The focus is on now. Two big games. Respect in terms of what Bristol City have done.
