Does Leon Clarke get a look in now?

[FMBlade1]

With Sharp unfortunately being suspended we have an 'extra' space on the bench. I'd imagine it will be filled by Morrison in all likelihood but I wouldn't rule out Leon getting on there. I certainly think he should start against Sunderland to get match fit.

I'm not saying he should play and that he is the answer to our problems, but I have said before a couple of injuries/suspensions to our strikers we mean we might need him so it's no bad thing he's in the 25 man squad.

Hopefully he 'never' will be needed of course, but no-one should begrudge him having a chance in the PL if we do

Quick answer.

No.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Attention seeker.

So who do you think should take Sharp's place on the bench then?

Besic is unavailable against Everton his parent club as well so that leaves yet another space.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Absolutely not.

Promote Ravel to the bench.

 

[FMBlade1]

Absolutely not.

Promote Ravel to the bench.

Yep I'd go with that. Then who takes Besic's place?

 

[HD8 Blades]

On the bench for the League cup game maybe but at this level no chance

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Must be joking

 

[FMBlade1]

Must be joking

I'm not. I'm not saying he should or that it's ideal, but who else do you put on the bench next game? K. Freeman? An unknown youngster? That said can't help now wonder if he'd put any of those chances away

Seems if he makes it there against Everton there will be a fair bit of 'outrage' which seems ott to me

 

[YES Blade]

Even if Clarke was put on the bench, there is absolutely zero chance of him getting on.

Wilder might as well name me on the bench!

 

[Manuel Azaña]

Virgil's quaking in his £75m boots.

 

[BladeInIreland]

Clarke isn’t a bad player. Well down the pecking order but a good player nonetheless. Doubt he will play but I wouldn’t go mad if he made the bench.

 

[JayGreen17]

No way

 

[sufcboy95]

Hahhahahahaha

Morrison? If Wilder says he can be a £50m player why isn't he on bench?

 

[FMBlade1]

A rare sensible engagement with the OP, agree entirely.

Some are going to get a nasty surprise when they see him on the bench next week, I'd wager he'll be there but not get on.

For those saying Morrison again:

Besic can't be there either as against his parent club

Freeman ,Jags ,Stearman ,Morrison. Cuthbert dibble grubb.

Wouldn’t have thought so, we have tonnes of players to play in forward roles.

This guy

 

[DronnieBlade]

Let’s hope so.

Will keep loads happy .

I'm pretty sure he's not in the 25 man squad so it's impossible to play him in the league

He is in the 25 man squad

 

[SuperBobbyHatton]

No

 

[mattbianco1]

He is in the 25 man squad

Thought he wasn't.

Oh well. He's still nowhere near the first XI

Sheffield United: The decision to include Leon Clarke in Premier League squad makes perfect sense

When Chris Wilder added Leon Clarke's name to the 25 man squad list Sheffield United submitted to the Premier League, eyebrows were raised in some quarters because the centre-forward effectively remains on the transfer list.

It would be a surprise to see Leon get a run-out, but I wouldn't back against it if there's a run of injuries, and let's face it, that's the only way it's going to happen.

We actually discussed this post-match - probably 4 pints in - today and fantasised about Leon coming on and getting the winner at Anfield on NY Day and shithousing it front of the kop

 

[Davalon]

Is it me or are there some shit threads tonight?

I'm disappointed because ultimately I feel we beat ourselves but jeez.

Refs fault, cheating players, bring back ageing players not really up to this level, blah blah.

So who would you have on the bench next week to replace Sharp then?
