Sheffield United Confident Ahead of Wembley Showdown: ‘We’ve Got Exactly What We Want’

Sheffield United captain Jack Robinson has expressed firm confidence as his side awaits either Sunderland or Coventry City in the Championship play-off final, declaring that the Blades have secured “exactly what they want” heading into the decisive clash at Wembley.

Robinson’s comments came after United cruised to a dominant aggregate 6-0 semi-final victory over Bristol City, sealing their final berth with a second consecutive 3-0 win at Bramall Lane.

Goals from Kieffer Moore, Gustavo Hamer, and Callum O’Hare ensured Chris Wilder’s side dispatched the Robins with clinical efficiency, reinforcing their promotion credentials.

Speaking to *Sky Sports*, Robinson highlighted the team’s tactical discipline and defensive solidity: “Going into the final with two clean sheets, that’s exactly what you want. We turned up, nullified them all game, and were clinical in the box.” He praised the squad’s composure and maturity, particularly among the younger players, and emphasized the importance of maintaining focus and momentum.

After a season in which Sheffield United spent long stretches in contention for automatic promotion—only to finish third behind Burnley and Leeds United—Robinson acknowledged the fans’ disappointment. However, he reframed the upcoming final as a “great day out” and a fresh opportunity to secure Premier League football.

“It’s about one final push now,” Robinson said. “Train hard, stay sharp, stay confident, and then take it to Wembley.”

With momentum on their side and two emphatic performances behind them, Sheffield United await the outcome of the Sunderland vs Coventry semi-final clash, confident and prepared for one final challenge on the road back to the top flight.
