SHIRT SHARP SHOCK

Blades get a timely reminder

- BY JASON MELLOR

CHRIS WILDER is getting shirty with his Sheffield United players to ensure they trouser all three points against Oxford.

The Blades boss has taken the unusual step of pinning West Brom and Wrexham jerseys up in the home dressing room at Bramall Lane as a warning of the dangers of letting their levels drop even by one per cent.

Wilder's troops suffered damaging defeats after no-shows at The Hawthorns and Racecourse Ground last month and the United chief said: "Those shirts are just there as a reminder to the players of what happens if we're off it performance-wise.

"We were off it at West Brom, when we rolled over, and I really didn't enjoy it.
