Reading vs Sheffield United: 'It is more than that now...' - Sky Sports pundit lays into Blades in match prediction
and live on Freeview channel 276
The Blades have been mediocre for much of the season; lacking in ingenuity and creativity and Saturday’s 0-0 draw with Coventry City bore that out – although at least they had stopped conceding sloppy goals in that one.
Slavisa Jokanovic is convinced that his team can still gain promotion back to the Premier League this season but if that is to happen they are going to have to start putting more points on the board than they have been of late.

Hide AdTonight it’s United in 17th against 20th-placed Reading in Berkshire and one pundit believes that this has been a season of huge under-achievement at United and he’s predicting another night with yet more points dropped.
“Reading got a positive draw against Nottingham Forest on Saturday at the end of what had been a difficult week following their points deduction,” said Sky Sports pundit and presenter David Prutton in his midweek predictions. “They will want to keep up that level of optimism, because they need to keep going if they are to avoid slipping further towards the bottom three.
“I've spoken a lot about Sheffield United' s inconsistency so far. But it is more than that now.
"They have not been good enough and at some point it needs to turn, because with the squad and manager they have, they should be higher up the table. Score draw here for me.”
