About this listen

What were we Blades worried about? The latest Steel City derby couldn't have been easier as Sheffield United steamrollered the neighbours and emptied three sides of Hillsborough long before the final whistle. Such was the lack of competition from the Owls, albeit enforced by the perilous state in which the club has been run, that even Blades boss Chris Wilder refrained from getting over excited.

SUMMARY:

  • The latest Sheffield derby was a comfortable experience for Sheffield United, contrasting past encounters that were far more challenging.
  • Despite the 3:0 win, United's manager Chris Wilder displayed restrained celebration, acknowledging the predicament of the opposition
  • The match underscored the stark disparity between United and Wednesday.
  • Patrick Bamford's 20-minute cameo showcased his potential to be a significant asset for United
  • United's victory at Hillsborough meant more than bragging rights as a gap opens up between the Championship's bottom four and the rest.
