Those World Class Blades…

[Overthehills]

Inside Blades' international break plans as just FIVE senior outfielders remain behind

Sheffield United’s coaches will work with those players left behind over the international break on a one-to-one basis, with as few as FIVE senior and available Blades remaining at Shirecliffe.

Oh how far we have come….

Never before have we had so many players shoot off to represent their respective a countries. Whilst it shows where we are at and how far we have come, I can’t help but have mixed emotions about the whole thing.

Training will resume at Shirecliffe apparently, despite us only having 5/6 fit players remaining to participate.

Chris Basham
Jayden Bogle
Ollie Norwood
Oli McBurnie
Billy Sharp

Whilst it bodes well that we have so much quality, I really don’t want to disrupt this squad….all I ask is that they all come back in one piece please!

Watch Hendo, Ramsdale and Pope all get injured...

Bogle’s fit? When did this happen?

 

[Stevo]

Bogle’s fit? When did this happen?

It's great that he is but he doesn't get straight back in the side for me

 

[dc_blade]

Bogle’s fit? When did this happen?

McCall mentioned in his pre-match presser before Preston that Bogle would be back in training over the break and perhaps be ready to feature when games resume.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

It's great that he is but he doesn't get straight back in the side for me

5 subs means he potentially can. Obviously not to start but to edge him in and rotate Baldock

 

[mancunianblade]

Bogle was on the cusp of a Jamaica call up, once fit again I assume he will be once again

 

[Nick Jansky]

If McBurnie carries on as he currently is he will be back in the Scotland squad. Far superior to Lyndon Dykes.

 

[Green7361]

Bogle was on fire prior to injury, hopefully he'll get some game time after the break, we're very lucky to have Bogle & Baldock. In my opinion a fully fit Bogle is ahead of George and with Anel overlapping Bogle we're gonna be ridiculous

 

[Green7361]

If McBurnie carries on as he currently is he will be back in the Scotland squad. Far superior to Lyndon Dykes.

If I was Mcburnie I'd switch my phone off if they come calling, all the Scots do is slag him off

 

[Teddy]

If I was Mcburnie I'd switch my phone off if they come calling, all the Scots do is slag him off

By that logic he’d have been rejecting calls from SUFC for the last couple of years too

 

[Green7361]

That's a good point

 

[Flumps]

If I was Mcburnie I'd switch my phone off if they come calling, all the Scots do is slag him off

Exactly! We'd never do that...

 

[bibbity bobbity boo]

Any 5 a side teams fancy a game this weekend give hecky a shout

 

[Stevo]

5 subs means he potentially can. Obviously not to start but to edge him in and rotate Baldock

Totally agree, I think baldock is having his best spell since 2 years back

 

[BladesOnToast]

Amissah to play for Ghana one day?

(Or failing that Germany's number 1???)

 

[SwissBlade]

It's great that he is but he doesn't get straight back in the side for me

Agree. Baldock is one of the leaders in this side now that he doesn’t just step aside

 

[Overthehills]

Totally agree, I think baldock is having his best spell since 2 years back

Opta ratings wise he is having a better season than last already, however his average 6.5 is still below the rest of the front two lines (with the exception of McAtee)……

Mcburnie, Ndiaye, Norwood, Berge, Lowe, Doyle, RND all have 7.2 to 7.5 average ratings…

The impressive statistic that isn’t related, but I have to mention… we current hold a 14.2 shots per game total as well. Massively up on previous seasons…

Has Khadra been called up? Doesn't look like he's played for a Germany youth setup in a while

Yes. He was called up last season but had to pull out due to injury too.

Are Brooks & Gomis on young international duty ?
If not , they have a fortnight to become Championship-ready leftsided defenders.
So get em coached intensely please.
And don't injure em in the process

Groin strain will keep him out
