Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Formline 2.26 – Season Review & Awards: the good, the bad and the xG
Q: How does Chris Wilder's record compare against different levels of opposition this season?
The hosts conclude that Wilder's results against top teams were generally inferior to his performance against bottom teams, with top-six matches dragging down the overall metrics, but there are signs of improvement in offensive output and the need for better defensive consistency.
Formline 2.21 – "Death, Hodgson, and taking more risks: here comes part two of our Q&A podcast..."
Q: What do you want to see from now till the end of the season to keep you engaged?
The speakers express a desire for a high-intensity, comeback-driven end to the season, including exciting results, deeper squad rotation to test fringe players, and a clear plan for next season's core group amidst financial considerations.
Memory Lane #005 | "WHAT'S THAT COMING OVER THE HILL, IS IT A SPONSOR?" – A brief history of Blades kit sponsors with David Beeden (AKA Deadbat)
Q: Which international sponsors did the club have?
Possible international sponsors discussed include Visit Malta, Renault UK (headquartered in France), and other non-British brands; the conversation covers a spectrum of international connections with varying accuracy acknowledged.
Memory Lane #005 | "WHAT'S THAT COMING OVER THE HILL, IS IT A SPONSOR?" – A brief history of Blades kit sponsors with David Beeden (AKA Deadbat)
Q: How many shirt sponsors have we had in our history?
The guests estimate around twenty-seven sponsors, noting some debate about whether it was twenty-six or twenty-seven due to a half-season Bentleys sponsorship and other short stints.
Formline 2.19 – “Have Blades’ performances really dipped?"
Q: Would Siriki Siriki and Brooks be able to fit into a 3-5-2 formation together if both remain at the club next season?
The hosts explore the feasibility, noting that one of them would likely have to be adapted to a wing-back role in a back three, which could limit how they both operate together without changing the system.
