Jack Robinson identifies areas that Sheffield United need to improve upon as Forest clash looms

Sheffield United defender Jack Robinson has admitted that the club will need to be stronger in the second leg of their showdown with Nottingham Forest and produce a better defensive display if they are to have a chance of securing victory in this clash.

The Blades suffered a 2-1 defeat at Bramall Lane on Saturday as they failed to prevent their opponents from creating a host of chances in this fixture.

If it wasn’t for an impressive goalkeeping display by Wes Foderingham, United would have been facing an uphill task to keep their promotion hopes alive.

Although Paul Heckingbottom’s side still head into tomorrow’s clash with Forest as underdogs, a late goal from Sander Berge at the weekend will provide them with some hope heading into this fixture.

Having featured in each of the club’s last five games at this level, Robinson is likely to keep his place in the club’s starting eleven on Tuesday.

Ahead of this fixture, Robinson has identified the main areas that the club need to improve upon.

Speaking in the pre-match press conference for this game (as cited by Sheffield United’s official Twitter account), Robinson said: “We’ve looked back at video today.

“We need to be stronger and tighter and put on a better performance.

“We have to focus on ourselves.

“100% focus, 100% just to give our all.”
