Chris Wilder's Sheffield United are enduring their first real sticky patch of form this season, with the Blades without a win in their last three.

United were downed 3-1 by Millwall at the New Den on the weekend, and you get the impression that cracks are starting to show, or is just the fact that Paul Coutts isn't in the side?

Is it time for Sheffield United fans to start worrying?

It's not looking good for the Blades now.

Instead of worrying about Cardiff and Wolves, they'll be looking over their shoulders to see the gap to seventh.

However, there has to be a little perspectvie. Yes, Paul Coutts injury was a massive blow, but they aren't a one-man team and the staff and squad haven't become average overnight.

They might not hit the heights of earlier in the season, but Chris Wilder's men will keep fighting and won't just drift away.

It’s difficult to say, as one or two additions in January could sort Wilder’s side out.

The Blades are missing Paul Coutts big time, and if he is not replaced in January then Wilder’s side will face an uphill battle in maintaining their promotion push.

The last three fixtures have been a wake up call, and it will be interesting to see how the Blades react.

George Dagless

I don't think too much.

I can't see them challenging for the automatic spots now but a top six place is more than possible.

They really need to try and get a system that works without Paul Coutts, though.

The wheels appear to be coming off a little.

Ever since Paul Coutts' injury the Blades have struggled, and they need to find a solution to their problem in the middle.

Is the squad cut out to last the season at the top? It's going to be a real challenge.
