United are preparing for Saturday’s meeting with Dean Smith’s side in eighth, having lost only one of their last nine outings.

But Wilder said: “I think we could have got a little bit more at times. Okay, there’s maybe a few games people think we might have lost.
“But from my point of view, I don’t think any of the points we’ve picked up have been ‘How on earth did we get away with that?’ ones.
“I think we’ve deserved them all and, like I say, I think the lads have sometimes warranted more with what they’ve done.”
“We feel we are light of at least four points,” he added.

“We’ve not nicked anything that we haven’t deserved as far as I’m concerned. That’s not been the case at all.”
