Sheffield United winger Jamal Campbell-Ryce has stated that the team must begin to reproduce their cup form in League One.
The Blades, who have reached the League Cup semi-finals this season, beat Premier League Queens Park Rangers 3-0 in the FA Cup on Sunday thanks to two goals from Campbell-Ryce.
However, Nigel Clough's side are currently sixth in League One, 15 points adrift of leaders Swindon Town.
"You go into every game wanting to win, but football doesn't work out like that," Campbell-Ryce told Sky Sports News.
"It's a natural thing that any smaller side paying against a bigger side will always up their tempo and their work-rate, although they shouldn't. You don't want to embarrass yourself so you always give that extra five to 10% more. That's the way it works out.
"We're probably the biggest club in League One - teams come to Bramall Lane and shut up shop. It all boils down to consistency, and that's what we've got to find in the league now."
United will face Tottenham Hotspur across two legs in the League Cup semi-finals.
