“We couldn’t have been any more prepared for the game.
“But we didn’t take the gaffer’s instructions on.
“Our shape wasn’t right. We were off the pace and we couldn’t get near their players. Our quality wasn’t good enough.
“It was a bad day for us.
“It’s obviously very disappointing with a big crowd, a derby game.
“These are the best games of the season for us. We look forward to them but it just wasn’t good enough.”

And Keegan says the work begins on Monday to right the wrongs of defeat to the Blades.
He said: “We’ve got to go again. We’ve got another big game coming up on Saturday.
“We’ve got to put it right in training but more importantly we’ve got to do it on a Saturday.”
