Sheffield United sacked Ruben Selles and rehired Chris Wilder for a third spell as manager less than two months after ending his second, but his team were beaten 1-0 in the 90th minute at Bramall Lane by Charlton.
Parkin: “A lot of people were expecting the crowd and players to respond to Chris Wilder coming back. There are clearly issues at Sheffield United. Not issues that can’t be overcome because it is so early in the season, but there is obviously a lack of confidence and chemistry.
“It is alarming to lose seven games straight at any level of football. It wasn’t going to be a quick fix.
“Creatively they are lacking. They’ve only scored once in the league; they didn’t lose loads from last year but Jesurun Rak-Sakyi for one, Kieffer Moore, trying to rekindle what [Gustavo] Hamer did last year will be one of Wilder’s main focuses. He is a game changer.
“They are a team who don’t know what they are right now, whereas Charlton and Nathan Jones absolutely do know what they’re about.”
