Sheffield United manager Paul Heckingbottom has warned his players they have to start winning games.
The Blades were badly beaten at the weekend, losing 5-0 to Arsenal away from home.
However, Heckingbottom acknowledges that his team had to play six of the current top nine Premier League sides in their first ten matches.
Points need to be got," Heckingbottom admitted to reporters.
We are competing in the bottom part of the league and we have played a lot of teams in the top 10, but we are coming into a little spell now of playing teams in and around us. They are our cup finals. They are games that we need to win.
A trip to the Emirates will not define our season. We've not prepared for that. But the games coming up, against the teams in the bottom half of the season, will. The fans know they've got a group of staff and players who are giving everything and will continue to do that.
