New signings give Blades edge

Wilson, who had secured the services of Kevin McDonald whilst in Malta last week, added defenders Matt Hill and Tony McMahon to his squad with promising Crewe striker Shaun Miller also arriving ahead of Tuesday night's trip. The trio have all penned two-year deals, although there is an option of a third for Miller. "Matt Hill brings a wealth of experience and he is reliable and consistent in his defensive duties," Wilson told the club's official website. "He also offers a calming influence on the back four and offers us great versatility." "We have watched Shaun quite a bit, especially the early part of last season at Crewe and we felt his potential was there to be seen, despite getting put in the shadows of Nick Powell. Hopefully he will fit straight into the first-team, but we certainly feel he is one for the future. "Tony is still young enough but he is vastly experienced. He has played around 200 games in the Premiership and Championship so we know what we are getting. I see him vying with Darryl Westlake for the right-back berth."
