Just thinking about Lundstram and the attitude of players to their employers.
I guess it's similar in all walks of life/employment where different personalities bring different things to the table, but it's difficult as ordinary fee paying 'punters' as CW refers to us, to not draw conclusions from what we see on the pitch, and be offended by it.
We all have our opinions on Lundstram and, to be fair, some others in the squad (a certain Scottish hero to name just one) where we would question their 100% application.
I accept that it needs a manager with the necessary skills and experience to get the best out of the different personalities, but I just wanted to give a big shout out to Ben Osborne.
Throughout his time here, whether good or bad, he always gives his all, always seems to care, and I admire his approach to his role in being not just a Sheffield United player, but a professional footballer who recognises their privileged position. There are others in the squad (our Billy for one) who also show their dedication to the cause.
So in all the doom and gloom around, I just wanted to celebrate what is good about those who are in it for the love of the game, rather than to simply feather their own nests.
