Memory Lane #21 | The Bassett Years (P2) - “The Great Escape, derby Glory and Wembley same old story” (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Back-to-back promotions had taken Sheffield United into the top flight. Staying there was another matter entirely. In part two of our Dave Bassett special, Andrew Hague, Paul, Deadbat and Richard pick up the story with United winless in their first 16 games, seemingly doomed by Christmas and Bassett insisting, against all available evidence, that they would stay up.

Formline 3.08 – "Are we being harsh enough?" (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Well, that didn’t age brilliantly. Last week, we asked whether we were being too harsh on Sheffield United. Results were decent to good. The table looked healthy enough. Maybe we were spending too much time worrying about performances and not enough time enjoying the points. After back-to-back losses, let’s invert the question. Are we being harsh enough? Because if the underlying performances were already setting off alarm bells, what happens when the results don’t provide cover? Get full access
Formline 3.05 – "Is squeezeball the new normal at Sheffield United?” (opens the original)
Read excerpt
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 the foundations of a play-off push, 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’
Memory Lane #17 | The Ones That Got Away - Building an XI of the biggest transfer rumours in Blades history (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some transfers happen. Others don’t. Some spend years living on forums, back pages and in the collective imagination of Blades fans. For Memory Lane Episode 17 , Andrew Hague, Sam Parry and Tyrone James pick an XI of Sheffield United’s greatest transfer rumours: the players who were definitely signing, nearly signing, spotted at the training ground, touted by ITKers, or simply discussed for so long that they started to feel like they actually did play for us. There’s Warnock’s love of strikers,
Formline 3.04 – "Blades Season Preview pod - Riley's 1-24s..." (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Predictions are a losing game. So naturally, we’ve done 24 of them. Riley takes centre stage for our annual Championship 1–24 (until his line cuts out, and Sam treads water for five minutes). He ranks every team from relegation certainties to title winners, while Sam and David do their best to pick holes in it. We get into the Championship’s tactical meta, the strongest and weakest squads, the teams we think could surprise, and why Sheffield United might just have enough to sneak into the expand
