Sheffield United boss Bryan Robson blasted his side for not taking Scunthorpe United seriously enough after they were beaten 3-2 at Glanford Park.

The pre-season promotion favourites fought back from two goals down to draw level, only to ship a last-gasp Matt Sparrow clincher.

Robson told the Sheffield Star: "I warned them all about the good things about Scunthorpe and what they would come up against.

"They are a difficult side to play against here because it's a tight pitch and you don't get too much space to play your football.

"So what you've got to do is compete really well and anticipate second balls, so then you can get into the game and start passing, but we didn't do any of that."
