Someone suggested to me that Sheffield United are good value at 40/1 for relegation. To gauge my own thoughts, I placed our entire squad into two buckets.
But there’s a 4th trust question, the new backroom team, do/can we trust them to gel into a well oiled team behind the team? Especially given that we still don’t know if the manager was forced or wanted the changes!
“At the same time, the difference between contributing within your minutes and actually playing enough minutes to make a telling contribution is… well, telling.”
“United need greater height, more speed and somebody capable of covering ground aggressively without the ball. Ideally, some goals too: remember goal threat from midfield?”
That’s all so true.
“How much faith do you place in this squad? How much faith do you place in this board? How much faith do you place in the transfer window? How far can we trust a team and manager that only finished 13th?”
Good faith if they gel together in their “proper” positions.
Difficult to say as we never see them.
No money, so not much.
At one stage last season, we’d have snapped up “only 13th”! Then it got a bit better. Then it all slipped, as is quite a usual Sheffield United way!
Unfortunately, it’s all a lot of “ifs and buts”; so I suppose: wait and see …
As an aside, a Lincoln City supporting friend of mine tells me every time he sees me that their supporters “want Oné back” so he definitely made an impression!
Trust indeed?!!
Manager- I do still
Owners- not in the slightest
Squad- Can’t answer until the window closes.

Fascinating article Sam and I have sent it to the Blades Babes who I sit next to👍

PS. Not taking up that bet, though!
