Squad

Joel Colwill: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Sheffield United have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Tempers go at Sheffield United

Michael Cooper was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match

Sheffield United get the job done against Preston

A 1‑0 win over Preston, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad

Harrison Burrows stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Harrison Burrows and Sheffield United agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Player ratings

Tyrese Campbell was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.14. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad

No hiding place for Tom Davies

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Tom Davies, and the manager let it.

In brief

Squad

A fracture rules Callum O'Hare out for 25 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Sheffield United will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

Kalvin Phillips in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Sheffield United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Luke Faxon is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 21 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Tyrese Campbell falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Tom Cannon

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match

Sheffield United see off Blackburn Rovers

Three points for Sheffield United, 1‑0 the final word against Blackburn Rovers in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings

Andre Brooks was the difference for Sheffield United

Marked 7.95. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Market

The Tom Cannon talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Sheffield United know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Player ratings

Tahith Chong runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 9. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

In brief
