Warnock eases the pressure

Neil Warnock remained positive that his Sheffield United side would escape an immediate return to the Championship, after seeing them secure a crucial 1-1 draw at Charlton Athletic.
A superb Jon Stead finish 21 minutes from time at The Valley earned the Blades a point which kept them two ahead of the Addicks, with just three games of the season to play.
And, with home clashes with Watford and Wigan Athletic still to come, Warnock is still confident of survival.
He said: "If you look at our record against the bottom six sides, we are miles ahead at the top of the league - now we have to continue that over the final three games.
"There is pressure on everybody, but maybe not as much on us, because everyone expected Sheffield United to be in there.
"It is amazing what you can do with a group of players who believe. We knew we had to stand up and be counted.
"We have a gritty bunch of players, which showed out there."
