Sheffield Utd captain Robinson plans for instant Prem return

Sheffield United have plans to challenge for an instant return to the Premier League next season.

The Blades are relegated but believe they will be back in the big time very soon.

Skipper Jack Robinson has spoken about the club's hopes of having a consolidating summer.

“It's just not been good enough, performance-wise, overall," captain Robinson admitted after relegation following a 5-1 loss to Newcastle United.

“Not taking our chances and being clinical when we needed to and then obviously defensively, myself included, we've been very poor this season and conceded far too many goals. And when you're conceding that many goals, it's tough to win games in this league. But speaking to the manager, everyone's got a plan for next year. We're going to regroup in the summer, get it right and then have a right go next year.

“We'll look back on all the games and how we've played and where we've gone wrong. We'll be able to put that right in in pre-season, in the summer. The Championship's a different ball game compared to the Premier League but it's going to be another tough season. We're all behind everyone here and we want to regroup and we want to have a right go next year. And obviously the aim next year will be to come straight back up."
