Formline 3.05 – "Is squeezeball the new normal at Sheffield United?”

Three clean sheets, two league draws and a very different Sheffield United. Is this the new normal? Plus looking ahead to Blackburn, Cardiff and Transfer Deadline Day.

The first Formline of the season proper has actual form to discuss - a sliver, at least.

Sam, Riley and David dig into the tactical shift behind the Blades’ start: far less possession, far fewer chances, a much tighter defensive shape and some eye-catching numbers at both ends of the pitch.

Is Wilder building new defensive foundations, or has the correction gone too far? Where are the goals supposed to come from? And how long will supporters tolerate percentage football if the wins don’t follow?
