The majority of Sheffield United fans decided to stay behind and remained in full voice after watching the 5-0 defeat away at Ipswich.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a new low for the Blades with Jaden Philogene scoring a first-ever career hat-trick, then George Hirst and Jack Clarke added their names to the scoresheet, inflicting a heavy defeat to keep Ruben Selles\u2019 stricken side bottom of the Championship.<\/p>\n

This result sees Ipswich claim their first win of the season, while for Sheffield United it\u2019s five league defeats to start the season for the first time since 1995.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Sheffield United boss Ruben Selles said to Sky Sports:<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThe business is like that. If you don\u2019t win football matches, your position is going to be discussed always, not only for me, for any coach in the world. That comes with reality. For us, I think there\u2019s only one way \u2013 to keep working hard until the very last second at the club and try to always give 100 per cent.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you finish the job and you didn\u2019t get the result you wanted, at least you are clear in your principles, your values and your way to do things.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey [the Sheff Utd owners] have been supporting me until today. I didn\u2019t speak with them after the game. Things happen in football and people need to make decisions, as I need to make decisions with my line-up.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not worried about that, I\u2019m just worried about if we go for training, how we can do better, how we can get the boys\u2019 morale up, how we prepare for the next game. That\u2019s what it is for me.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m the first critic of myself and the first one that puts pressure and it\u2019s always going to be like that.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe in myself. I also know things can not go your way sometimes and you can make mistakes, but I think this is part of it. I have done that before and hopefully I will do it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe one thing you will find with me is that I will be in front of absolutely everything. Now things are not going in the proper direction, I will also be in front of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, you just need to let the people feel the pain. We are not going to solve anything tonight. In this situation, we just need to sit. There are parts of the game we need to re-analyse. The good thing in football is you have a game in seven days and it\u2019s a new opportunity, a new opponent and things can change really quick.\u201d<\/p>\n

(On leaving skipper Gus Hamer out of the XI):<\/strong> \u201cI never gamble with the selection. It was the team I thought had the best chance of getting us a result.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you don\u2019t win football matches your position is going to be discussed, not only for me but for every coach in the world. We have to keep working hard until the end.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe owners have been supporting me until today. I haven\u2019t spoken to them after the game. I\u2019m not worried about that, I\u2019m just worried about how we can do things better. I\u2019m the first one to give pressure to myself.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe in myself. I will always be in front of anything that has my name.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not going to solve anything tonight but we have to analyse. The good thing about football is you have another game in seven days and it\u2019s another opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna said to Sky Sports:<\/strong> \u201cYou want to get that first win and we\u2019ve been close a couple of times. Tonight\u2019s a good night for us.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe felt like we weren\u2019t too far away and there\u2019s been some good things coming and a lot of it came out tonight.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve worked really hard with Jaden in pre-season and he\u2019s worked really hard as well. There had been some good signs but without the end-product.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe said it was a difficult summer for us and I felt there was a different vibe in the group in the past few days. I\u2019ve felt a real determination to come together as a team and push on. It really felt like the first game tonight.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know how hard the season is. It\u2019s good to get the first win but it\u2019s very much feet on the floor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ipswich\u2019s hat-trick hero Jaden Philogene has been talking to Sky Sports:<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThe boys played very well today, played to our strengths and we got the win,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was practising in training, working on my right foot and my left foot, it pays off in the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Sheffield United fans stay behind in full voice after watching the 5-0 defeat away at Ipswich, here\u2019s the Twitter reaction\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

@brayash24<\/strong>: Please wait until after next Saturday to sack Selles. Thank you every Charlton fan<\/p>\n

@woseph<\/strong>: Bottom of the league and his idea to get a result was to drop the two players who achieved a combined 31 g\/a last season. Even Weir and Adkins wouldn\u2019t have done that. Clueless \u2013 he cannot be in a job anymore @SheffieldUnited \u2013 do the right thing and save our season #sufc<\/p>\n

@MikeConnelly9<\/strong>: This all stems from an incompetent, clueless group of owners. One ridiculous decision after another. It really does highlight how hopelessly out of their depth they are. What a way to piss \u00a3100m up the wall. A bunch of rich Yanks with a new hobby but no idea @Helmy_L2K #sufc<\/p>\n

@Luke_1889<\/strong>: How the fuck hasn\u2019t he been sacked yet? What are they waiting for? The fact he was in the dugout yesterday was a minor miracle after the first 4 games, if he\u2019s still there next Saturday Bramall Lane will be the most toxic it\u2019s ever been. SACK THE C*NT #TwitterBlades<\/p>\n

@ViewFromJohnSt<\/strong>: Thought away backing tonight, in the face of total shambles, was a credit to Blades. Win loss of draw, we\u2019ll still come back for more\u2026great support. Club doesn\u2019t deserve it. #sufc #twitterblades<\/p>\n

@AdamFerriday<\/strong>: Has he been sacked yet? All it needed was a few tweaks and some mindless morons genuinely tried to justify the sacking of CW. #twitterblades<\/p>\n

@Jeotky23<\/strong>: Board take some blame for not backing Selles & also not sorting out the club structure, but Selles has dug his own grave since the City defeat with his team selections & tactics. Players clearly aren\u2019t having him, time for him to go. #twitterblades<\/p>\n

@cherrystreet71<\/strong>: Proud of our supporters last night \ud83d\udc4f\u26bd\ufe0f Loud and proud all game. Weve been let down by a totally unnecessary decision by our new owners and you reap what you sow. 100% no doubt with a half decent manager we will climb the table but Selles has to go today #twitterblades<\/p>\n

@ijparkes<\/strong>: Thank god Selles had 2 weeks to tweak things otherwise that could have been embarrassing #twitterblades<\/p>\n

@LFSUFC<\/strong>: COH Sports made the worst decision in appointing Selles. They ripped the heart from our club and replaced it with a fraud. They should have the common decency to sack him and appoint someone who has a clue. Do us all a favour and get rid of him. #sufc #twitterblades<\/p>\n

@GJF1889<\/strong>: 5 league games in. Scored 1, conceded 12. From all of those games there hasn\u2019t been an ember let alone a flash of what on earth Selles is trying to bring to this team. The decision to replace CW with this guy will never, ever make sense #twitterblades #sufc<\/p>\n
