Prior to their matchup at home against Sheffield United, O’Neil was speaking.

He declared: “I am proud of the effort that has been done, the players’ dedication, hard work, and the talent they have managed to display.

“The positive energy and momentum we’ve generated aren’t invincible or flawless; we still have gaps in our work and chances to make mistakes, so we must always be alert and prepared to give it our all.

Nothing we’ve done thus far will benefit us in the upcoming games; we must locate it once more and ensure that we generate it.”We don’t just want to sit – as proud as I may be of what we’ve been able to achieve so far, we’re only 25 games through the season. There’s still a massive chunk of it to go and that can have a big impact on how the season is viewed as a whole at the end.”
