United suffered the lowest point so far of Slavisa Jokanović’s reign when they were hammered at The Hawthorns, extending their wait for a first win – and a first goal – to three league matches.

“We felt embarrassed and it was a very sad day for Sheffield United and the fans and players. We weren’t too happy but there will be some shouting [amongst the players] tomorrow. We’ll have our fans backing us hopefully and we’re looking to get a result.
“It's something to put right. There’s an attitude and an eagerness to get going and if the boys could play now, they’d be in the tunnel.
“There’s a big stage at Bramall Lane to produce, I’m excited to get back there playing in front of the fans.”
