Chris Wilder does not believe Sheffield United's season is a write-off despite their awful form heading into Sunday's trip to Southampton.
The Blades are bottom of the Premier League and without a win this term, taking just a single point to fall six points adrift of safety.
It is a far cry from an impressive first year back in the top flight in 2019-20, but Wilder is not looking for excuses and is determined to turn United's campaign around.
"It is not a good run but there have been cases where teams have been on losing runs and still achieved what they have wanted to," said Wilder.
