Who put the ball in the Wednesday net? 🤔

[Ed Morris @datawithed]

Burrows either LW or CDM, similar enough😂 good to see a few more options on the bench today, hope we get to see a bit of BBD!🇨🇱

[Sheffield United @SheffieldUnited]

Two changes from Saturday 📋

#SUFC | #SWASHU

[Ed Morris @datawithed]

That is one thin looking squad, we’ve got nowhere near as many players back as we’d hoped by now. Will be a tough one today⚔️

[Sheffield United @SheffieldUnited]

United XI: Confirmed ✅

[Matt Fitzpatrick @MattFitz94]

Fresh wedges 🌟 @SheffieldUnited

[Ed Morris @datawithed]

With American owners coming in a data-driven approach was never far behind, really exciting to see a data partner coming in so soon!

[The Bladesman @The_Bladesman]

🎙️ Chris Wilder on if there's a potential for permanent signings this month

"Yeah, we've talked about it on a Zoom call yesterday. Really interesting Zoom call with a data company we're going to get involved with which is really good, opening up different avenues to recruitment. The new owners are very positive in terms of trying to help us out."

Everyone in the division would snap your hand off for our record, and we forget it wasn’t long ago that 10+ first teamers left the club all at once. And as discussed on the pod, a downswing in results was inevitable from the performances and underlying numbers! Onto the next⚔️

[The Pinch @ThePinchNews]

Mentioned on our last pod how we were due a regression in points.

Luck, variance, call it what you will — it’s all gone with us so far this season and yesterday it went against us. No drama. Move on.

Big Jan to come.

[Ed Morris @datawithed]

Tough result to take to some extent. Played a really solid 1st half imo, unlucky to go in at HT behind. Their second goal deflection could've gone anywhere. More concerning is Vini and Souttar - if Souttar's injury is serious enough he could well be headed back to Leicester :(

[Ed Morris @datawithed]

Not an inspiring bench but glad to see Vini and Anel back in the fold, wonder why no JRS. 4-2-2-2 shape maybe? Big day at the Lane incoming⚔️

[Sheffield United @SheffieldUnited]

The Blades to take on Burnley. 📋

@tobysomeoneb I don’t think we’ll do much in Jan at all tbf (for that reason). Would need a massive window next summer. Another year in the Champ would do us better long-term but PL money too attractive. Happy to yo-yo in the medium term, provided we at least have a go at staying up in future!

[Ed Morris @datawithed]

You have to assume new owners have a plan to take us to that next step, would be a strange investment otherwise🤞🇺🇸

PA should be immensely proud of what he’s done for the club, not many owners leave clubs with this much more than they found them with⚔️

Sheffield United Football Club is under new ownership.

COH Sports, a group of successful entrepreneurs, business partners and friends, established to invest in sporting opportunities, is delighted to confirm the acquisition of the Blades.

[Ed Morris @datawithed]

@JapaneseAcid I’ve seen a very mixed bag of reactions on here, but looking purely at the start and finish points of his ownership it’s hard to say it’s not been an incredibly fruitful period. There’s been some massive peaks and troughs in there too but that’s character building🤷‍♂️

[Ed Morris @datawithed]

Not pretty at all but a win is a win. Missed Souza’s presence in midfield today, felt like Davies and Peck want to play in the same places in the middle of the park. Hamer again showing why he’s one of the league’s best😮‍💨 #sufc

[Ed Morris @datawithed]

Tears in my eyes can’t believe it

[Sheffield United @SheffieldUnited]

RHIAN BREWSTERRRRRR!!!!!

[Ed Morris @datawithed]

My Brewster optimism will never die, there’s a goal in there somewhere😂 glad to have at least one of our best centre halves back in the side, UTB

[Sheffield United @SheffieldUnited]

The Blades to take on Millwall. 📋

#MILSHU | #YeloDrive

[Ed Morris @datawithed]

Expecting goals in this one, looking thin at the back as expected. Good to see Brewster back on the bench. Let’s have it

[Sheffield United @SheffieldUnited]

The Blades to face @WBA. 📋

#WBASHU | #YeloDrive

[Ed Morris @datawithed]

What a result!! Quality lacking for the majority of that game as expected for a derby.

Half time subs took them by surprise in the second half, Souttar and Souza absolutely rock solid.

🎶 Don’t go out tonight 🎶

[Ed Morris @datawithed]

Not at all surprised to see no Moore, felt like pretty obvious mind games all week with that.

Should be a tasty one⚔️⚔️⚔️

[Sheffield United @SheffieldUnited]

Your starting XI for the Steel City derby. ⚔️

#SHUSHW | #YeloDrive

[Ed Morris @datawithed]

@sam__joseph Yeah very true (and a brilliant stat!). I would’ve thought we’d get fewer but better average chances when leading as a result though which might have balanced the xG a tad, with teams committing more bodies when chasing the game against us and leaving space to attack.

[Ed Morris @datawithed]

Largely agree with the sentiment here, we’ve overperformed vs expected so far. We haven’t put games to bed very often and have gotten away with a few results (Tuesday!).

I still suspect Leeds will run away with it at some point, with Boro, Burnley and us fighting for auto.

[Opta Analyst @OptaAnalyst]

Coventry City are fourth in the Opta Championship expected points table this season.

Their expected points tally is 23, which is eight more than their real points tally (15).
