Formline 1.21 – "Lessons from the pain: the way forward in 25/26"

After a crushing play-off final, The Pinch Podcast team reflects on a season of fine margins, tactical protectionism, and looming transitions. What must Sheffield United learn to bounce back stronger?

What can we learn from the season just gone?

Welcome to The Pinch Podcast, where heartbreak runs headfirst into hard truths. In this post-play-off special, we confront the gut-punch of Wembley defeat and explore the real lessons from Sheffield United’s 2024/25 season. From Chris Wilder’s risk-averse tactics and missed attacking fluidity, to urgent calls for smarter recruitment and a proactive board, we break down what went right, what should change, and why the board shouldn’t press the panic button.
