@bladespod @Panchero Brooks is a puzzle for me why he doesn’t get any game time at all. I think he’d be a good option to bring on at left back when Burrows is struggling to impact games attacking wise. Played LWB in the prem to good effect some games. Him & Seriki either side when chasing a game
@BladesAnalysis It was only 2 years ago that Bournemouth, Fulham & Forest all stayed up after coming up together; & they look well established prem sides today.
The gap does look big now, but it may just take a bit of luck one season where a team has a shocker, like Leicester did under Rodgers
@The_Bladesman I feel the formation we play is crying out for some genuine pacey & direct wingers to help change a game or see a game out.
BBD, Hamer, JRS & Brooks all have done well there; but if we’re inviting pressure at 1-0 having a genuine pace to stretch & track back would help.
@bladespod @Panchero When you said we’re not top 2 level as Leeds & Boro games showed, but we are good at seeing other teams off got me thinking. 2 seasons ago we took 5 pts from 18 from the remaining top 4, Burnley,Luton & Boro. Our ability to see off other teams left us top 2 comfortably in the end
@virginmedia just rang your call centre about my internet & had to cancel, despite me willing to stay. Guy was more interested in trying to scaremonger about going to a competitor than actually trying to keep me as a customer. It’s a shame they don’t value customers of 7 years
@AllThingsBlades Same for Brewster scoring 10 goals in 20 appearances for Swansea just a few months before joining Blades.
I do wonder what it would have been like for either of them had we originally got both of them whilst in the Championship. Both came in to a slightly desperate environment
@SheffUnitedWay My natural reaction would be to start Tonge, bench Keith and sell Cotterill.
However, I would be very nervous bringing Gillespie on from the bench after what happened at Reading 🥴🥊
