Is RND back at the club and are there plans to keep him in the squad or loan him out again, preferably to a Championship club?
 

Still think a loan to either championship/league 1 would be better for him. Rather than sitting on our bench/reserves on the off chance Stevens isn’t fit

Blades Analytics posted this... stat thingy, which seems very impressive.

Ideally I’d like to see him loaned out to a championship team till January and see how he does with the step up.
Then if he’s still impressing in that league, gerrim back and integrated into the squad.
 
Seems to be one who has impressed where he’s been on loan. And he plays in one of the few places where there is a definite path for him to the first team with little proper cover for Stevens.

Would seem sensible to have him involved during preseason around the first team, then potentially a loan to a championship side if possible. See how he copes with another step up.
 
I think keeping him around until January is the best bet. Let him learn in training from some of the best coaches in the country and then loan him out if he's not featuring for some game time in the Championship

I think if we were to part with Luke Freeman in this window as part of the general wheeling & dealing and make Osborn the main cover for Fleck rather than for Stevens, that might be an indication of what Wilder does with RND, as it potentially opens up a backup role at LWB he could fill. I don’t know know many Championship clubs will be happy to make him first choice to give him regular game time, and I don’t think he’d gain much from another League 1 loan.

Rotherham, Wycombe, Luton easily. They just need to look at his stats!

Dan Potts did fine at Luton last season and is one of their main players to keep stepping up on their journey up the divisions. They won’t be looking to bench him. So that probably rules out one of those, easily.

Rotherham & Wycombe might though – however one of the key requirements I expect will be that he’s able to feature as a wingback. Do either team?

It won’t, RND didn’t always play at wing back for Rochdale last season. Usually just left back. He even filled in at centre half apparently.

The ‘real’ game time is infinitely more important than having to play wing back. None of our current wing backs played wing back before we picked them up, same for Matty Cash.

Barnsley like a loan player as well - they've had some good ones over the last few years

Yeah good shout, Barnsley’s left back is gash.

I think once we let teams know he’s on the market and share his stats he’ll have his fair share of suitors.
Failing that send him north of the border, even Jake Eastwood has got a game after a failed loan at Scunthorpe ffs

To be fair to Barnsley (if we must) they do try and play a good style of football too...and that defence does need improvement

Failed loan? We recalled him. He was their number 1 at the time, was doing well, and they had wanted to keep him for the rest of the season.

The SPL though would be another option for RND though.

He got recalled because he wasn't playing. He played 11 games.

This poster seemed to be suggesting in January that he’d been doing well too. I appreciate this poster might not have known what he or she was talking about though, so maybe take their views with a pinch of salt.

Made a stinker of an error against Plymouth last time out, but has apparently been playing well all in all
Means nothing a keeper making a cock up, Aaron Ramsdale looked non league when he was playing for Chesterfield

How their local press reported it at the time:

Eastwood was on a season-long loan from the Blades and had established himself as the Iron’s number one keeper following a string of impressive performances.

However, Sheffield United have exercised their obligation to recall Eastwood early from his loan spell following an injury to Michael Verrips, who played for the Blades against AFC Fylde in the FA Cup at the weekend.

We of course made it clear that the reason he was recalled was because of the keeper injuries and not wanting to be left with just Henderson and Moore available. This was said at the time in the aftermath to the cup game. I don’t really know why you’re trying to rewrite our and Scunthorpe’s history on this when it’s demonstrably not the case!

Well enough to consider it a successful loan? 11 games?

No ones saying he was horrendous there, no one's trying to rewrite history, but would you say Marvin Johnson's loan here was successful?

He played 16 games in all competitions. He was in and out of the side in the initial months. He was then first choice from November till we recalled him. It reflects the comments about him establishing himself into the first choice role, and then doing well in it to stay there – I don’t know why you’re expending the energy to try and paint that as a failure for what turned out to be ultimately a half season loan. It’s likely influenced him getting the Kilmarnock loan.

If you think I’m trying to paint this as evidence he’s the next Ramsdale, I’m not at all. In fact I expect he may never play for us again. But let’s not see an error by him on his debut last week and use it to suddenly try and rewrite what had been a successful loan for him at Scunthorpe. If we loaned Norrington-Davies to Rotherham, saw him in and out of the team initiatially, before starting consistently till January, and we recall him due to an injury to Osborn but see him barely involved the rest of the season, I’m sure you’d be first to say he’d had a successful loan.
