"I'm feeling very settled and happy and Sheffield United feels like my home now," he said.

"I had a loan spell here last season so I knew what the club was like, but I needed a change from Wigan and it's nice to have the chance of a fresh start.

"My time at Wigan was very difficult and pretty frustrating at times – a bit of a learning curve for me.

"I didn't play in many games and I wasn't involved as much as I would have liked.

"These things happen but it's fair to say that it wasn't a good time in my career. I hoped for big things over there and that wasn't how it worked out.

"Luckily for me, I've managed to move on to a big club.

"I don't think there's any doubt that Sheffield United are a bigger club than Wigan. I know one's in the Premiership and the other is in the Championship, but there's more to it than that.

"At Sheffield United, we're getting crowds of nearly 30,000 for our Championship matches. When Manchester United came to Wigan last season, the attendance was lower.

"Sheffield United are a club that will always have plenty of supporters and will always have ambition.
 



I don't believe what he has said either.

Seems really odd Cotterill has been dropped completely lately and we suddenly drafted Dyer in on loan. I don't think its just Keef that has had a fall out with Blackwell.

I am probably wrong but it all seems abit odd to me.
 
They are, and I shouldn't have to provide a link to the post I made last Friday.

Now, as far as I can see, the topic of this conversation is David Cotterill...

yeh i agree, i dont think hes fallen out with Blacky or anything like that
its just the play for your shirt motto taking place
 



He might get his chance now Halfords injury is worse than first thought.
 
not really been given much of a chance though has he

He's had as much chance as some others.

To be honest every time I've seen him (and I've seen every minute he's played since returning) I've been disappointed. We know he can be better, but we can't afford to carry him whilst he isn't doing the business.

I've not seen what Cotts has been doing in training, but I'd be tempted to stick SJH back at right back and have Naughts on the wing. It is a potential opportunity for him though, like you say :)
 
id agree with you foxy about SJH and naughts!

cotts just hasnt been up to it for me
 
With Halford now out it will be interesting to see the starting line-up......

Cotterill has been poor since returning, although I admit his chances have been limited. The problem I have with Cotterill at the minute is that I dont think he'll fit into the team very well, in the sense that if he's playing RM and Naughton is playing RB we could potentially leave ourselves open on that side of the pitch. Naughton has showed in both games that he likes to go forward and is comfortable to do so. With a player like Halford infront of him, Naughton is free to go forward, knowing Halford is more than an adequate cover. However, should Naughton go forward while Cotterill is playing there is no cover.....

Im not suggesting this is Cotterills fault, it clearly isn't. But Naughton would have to play a very disciplined defensive game if Cotterill were to be infront of him.....

Do people agree? Sorry I've just read this back and its not too clear......

Clear to me.......agree totally.

I agree with Sun Jihai at right back, and after his sparkling debut last week, I see no reason to drop Naughton either. Personally, I'm glad there's a load of competition for places.

Let's just hope that Sunny Jim doesn't think he's Jackie Chan again though ......
