Sheffield United boss Kevin Blackwell has urged his side to show more control when they get on top in games, as the Blades seek to mount a promotion challenge.

Blackwell was speaking on the back of a run of just one win in four games, but he still believes that the Bramall Lane squad is packed full of quality.

He told the Sheffield Star: "One area where I think we can improve is the way we control games.

"Take Ipswich as an example. We got ourselves on top and then perhaps things started to come a little bit too easily for us.

"What I want the lads to try and do is not let that control go.

"Once they've grabbed a game by the scruff of the neck, as they have done many times this season, we've got to try and stay there right on top of things and not let the opposition come back into it."
