Successful dribbles: 46. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Tom Cannon
15 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Sheffield United lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Sheffield United
The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.
