Tyler Dibling runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 39. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

A fracture rules César Bustos out for 102 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.

Tyler Dibling 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.

Barnaby Williams gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Barnaby Williams has just signed for Sheffield United, and for once the answer mattered.

Words at Sheffield United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jamie Donley is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match22 Sep 2035

Stoke City take the points off Sheffield United

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Match16 Sep 2034

Sheffield United taken apart

1‑4 to Norwich City, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Successful dribbles: 33. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match16 Sep 2034

No end in sight to Sheffield United's wait for a win

7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Sheffield United has to find a result from somewhere.

Match16 Sep 2034

Sheffield United leaking at the back

6 matches, two or more conceded in every one of them. Sides that create as much as this can live with it for a while. Nobody lives with it forever.

Tempers go at Sheffield United

Tyler Dibling 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.

Squad18 Sep 2034

Felix Schneider is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 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.

Words at Sheffield United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Sander Berge is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Sander Berge gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Boardroom18 Sep 2034

Nobody left the Sheffield United dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.
