BladesPod: Reliving the Christmas wins + Billy Sharp, record-breaker

[Beans]

Belated happy new year, S2!

Finally got round to recording a new podcast with Blades Analytics, going over a brilliant festive run for United. We relive the win over Derby (07:30), and discuss fitness levels and consistency (16:24).

Of course, we had to talk a little – okay, a lot – about William Louis Sharp (20:48), plus the resurgent David McGoldrick (30:15).

Finally, we dissect the Blackburn and Wigan games (33:45) and look ahead to the FA Cup and Kieran Dowell’s debut (49:20).

Please excuse a bit of a croaky voice from me, standard post-Xmas bug that just won't clear off. Cheers as always for listening!

About bloody time Beans and Blades Analytics!

Only kidding, hope you’ve both had a cracking xmas and new year.

I’ll give this a listen whilst I’m on the slopes tomorrow

So happy to be able to wake up, have my breakfast and cuppa sat listening to this with a smile.

We have a strong enough squad to handle a cup run so hoping for something special. Not to mention seeing Dowell, to add to what Jay said, his flicks to link play whilst counter attacking will make SUFC even more classy than we already look.

We are so lucky right now.

Cracking listen lads.

"JOC covers 11k a game, more distance than a premier league midfielder" WOW!

That's a mad one isn't it. Especially when he's started 100 games in a row and played every minute since we got promoted.

Cheers for all the listens so far. Too bad this Madine news didn't happen before we'd recorded!

Love this, me.

Very good listen, I look forward to the Madine special !

 

[Groucho Blade]

Superb as ever, guys. What a time to be a Blade...etc.

 

[Stretch]

I am a bit late in getting to this instalment Beans but just say thanks. Another cracking listen.

Really enjoy these podcasts, so professional and so interesting, love how you sometimes back up your opinion with facts and statistics.

Suspect even Wilder and Knill would find them interesting and informative.

 

[Fanny magnet]

An excellent listen
Keep up the good work fellas

 

[Rob86]

What’s the new strikers xg ?

 

[Captain Obvious]

Come on Beans, where's this week's podcast?! Gary Madine signing and getting knocked out of the FA Cup to Barnet, you can't be short of material! Keep up the good work guys, it's an enjoyable listen whilst I'm at work.

On managed to listen to this yesterday. Great podcast as usual.

Only comment though, i had to check the regarding the EPTS (Electronic Performance and Tracking systems) as i understood that the data transmitted was not allowed to be used during the game, but could be downloaded afterwards. This was the initial rule in the EFL back in 2015, however, reading the latest laws of the game, FIFA seem to allow the use of the data during games now.
