Harrison Burrows, a defender, has stated that Sheffield United is two-thirds of the way to the goal they set at the beginning of a crucial week in the Championship promotion battle. This comes ahead of Sunday’s “massive” derby matchup versus Wednesday at Bramall Lane. Burrows’ goal in the 98th minute at Bristol City on Tuesday night put the Blades in second place in the Championship. The next day, they watched as Leeds United and Sunderland, two teams vying for promotion, failed to match their performance.
Burrows, a former Peterborough defender, provides insight into the Blades’ unwavering mindset as they aim to return to the Premier League at the first attempt. Sunday’s matchup with the Owls is the final in a three-game week that began with a convincing victory at Blackburn Rovers.

“Yeah, it’s massive,” said Burrows of Sunday’s game “The job’s not done yet, we’re two-thirds of the way there. We set out at the start of the week, before the game Saturday, to win three out of three. For Sheffield United, that’s what we need to do to get back to the Premier League and where this club belongs.”
Speaking to the BBC after Tuesday’s victory at Ashton Gate, Burrows also spelled out United’s season ambitions after hailing boss Chris Wilder, who oversaw a huge summer turnover of players but has still steered the Blades to nine wins from their first 14 games of the campaign.
