STEVE SIMONSEN, who is aiming to complete a play-off shut-out tomorrow after clean sheets in both legs of the semi-finals, says Sheffield United are long since over the disappointment of losing out on automatic promotion to arch-rivals Wednesday.

“We always said we’d be willing to fight through the play-offs if needs be,” said the 33-year-old North-Easterner who started out by the Mersey with Tranmere.

“Having been in second for so long only to miss out means we are doubly determined to do it at Wembley.”
