Hecky's verdict on huge Wolves win
Paul Heckingbottom's verdict as Sheffield United get their first win of the season against Wolves
Transcript
00:00 I'm pleased with the performance, the win is great for the players, the fans, the staff.
00:05 We've been so close so far this season and not been able to do it.
00:09 I just like the way we played. I thought we really took the game to Wolves in the second half.
00:14 The first half was pretty tepid, both teams feeling each other out.
00:19 The big change in the second half, we were aggressive in the first half but when we won the ball,
00:24 we generally, in good areas, we generally gave it back within the first one or two passes.
00:28 In the second half we didn't, we won the ball back and we had good quality then.
00:31 McAtee was good when he came on, we did have a slight shape change.
00:36 Mac was always going to come on for Riyad at half-time anyway but because of our worst set-up,
00:42 we decided to go for three instead of another two and a one.
00:46 So, yeah, he was good, the second half performance was good.
00:49 What was your approach at half-time, because you say it wasn't so easy.
00:53 You didn't seem to be really having much of a go.
00:56 Yeah, you have to respect the teams. We have to manage these games all the way through.
01:01 So, like I said, if you watch how many times we win the ball back on the half-way line,
01:05 five yards over half-way on the first half, it's just the same as the second.
01:08 The problem is the next pass after that, we give the ball back, the Wolves can build again.
01:12 The second half we didn't, we retained possession and all of a sudden they have to defend.
01:16 One thing, that's the one change. The tactical set-up behind the ball was no different.
01:20 Yeah, that's the one difference, the quality.
