The success of the England Test Cricket team stems from a desire to encourage and express talent. It's something Sheffield United supporters should take to heart
I have to admit that I don’t know anything about cricket, but I certainly see your analogy with SUFC and, as you rightly say, “It’s no use pretending we’re currently playing mesmerising football with a rock-solid defensive unit: if you think that, I have some beans to sell you.”
Jack O’Connell, Aaron Ramsdale and no doubt many others over the years, have had the same experience as Ivo and it seems impossible that people are trying to judge his future potential after one match, played under what must have been, for him, very ‘confusing’ circumstances! La Liga one day, Manchester the next and then to Sheffield . . . could any of us perform in such a context?
“Embrace the chaos” . . . what a wonderful phrase! Yes please!!
Thanks, David
