Hulse on Warnock.....
That win came thanks to Phil Jagielka's late rocket against Middlesbrough last weekend and Hulse - bought from Leeds in the summer - believes the Blades' mental toughness helped them.
He told the club's official website: "Promoted teams have a winning mentality because they are used to winning matches. But life in the Premiership is a much tougher proposition and they usually have to start to overcome the disappointment of losing.
"That's when the strength of character of players is vital. They have to remember that is was their combined efforts that got them where they are, and the same trust is even more important when things go against them.
"It's also when a manager really has to earn his corn and convince all of them that they can still do it at a higher level. When things are tight - in a single game or in a dogfight - mental toughness and enthusiasm usually makes the difference.
"The Gaffer has been fantastic throughout. He kept us all upbeat and bubbly and that was vital. We think the world of him as a manager and I'd like to think we showed against Middlesbrough just what it means for us to play for him."
