Captain's assessment

Posted on: Sat 05 Dec 2009

Chris Morgan believes professionalism was a major factor in United's win at Plymouth on Saturday.

The Blades skipper, as usual, epitomised the battling spirit of Kevin Blackwell's side as United fought to repel the conditions and Plymouth's attacks.

Wind, rain and a boggy pitch caused problems for both sides but a repeat of the previous week's scenes at Home Park - when the match against Barnsley was postponed after 58 minutes - never looked likely.

"It is a difficult place to get a result," said Morgan. "After last week we knew it would be hard, their groundsman did well, the surface was playable.

"We had to come and be professional, we knew what the conditions would be like and that they would have had a rocket, having been 4-1 down last week after just an hour.

"We expected them to come at us but we stuck at it and the lads deserve credit. That's four unbeaten now and we want to push on."

"If you want to achieve things, these are the places that have got to win," added Morgan.
