Who was your personal favourite?

Wot no Knill?

Presumably the power behind the throne

It's the man with the magic hat for me. Exactly the signing we needed after the awful defenders of the past couple of seasons. Big, strong and powerful but with decent pace and he's got good touch and technique. At only just 23, JOC will only get better too. I suspect he'll be in the running for player of the season next season.

Bizarrely I went for Matt Done. He always tries hard as a footballer, appears unselfish and whips himself after making mistakes, it's not really his fault if he has limitations and is picked to play in the team. He appeared to be willing to play in whatever role Chris Wilder used him for and when substituted always appeared to accept ( as he should) the decision professionally. He presumably realised that he wasn't up to Championship level but always gave his all for the team.

He's probably a mardy wazzock and moaned like f***.

Anyway I voted for him

If this isn't a WUM, I admire your bravery! Hope you've got your tin hat on.
Incidentally, I really like Doney too.

 

[10-0 win]

Duffy, from september and well into 2017 he was instrumental as an attacking force. Has skills lacking elsewhere in the team, but faded towards the season's end. I'm sure our opponents marked him as a threath going at defenders.

Presumably for some of the same reasons I gave, obviously I think he's our best player

Everyone loves a trier. We'll never see him again

No physicality, a bit lightweight, a bit slow, can't tackle, seems to be partially unfit especiallly towards the end of games

BUT my personal favourite is easily Mark Duffy. Always looking to control the ball, low centre of gravity, dribbles past players with ease (which shows his skill when he's so slow), always looking to create things.

A really fine quality player who is a joy to watch. Where has he been hiding all these years?

Earlier in the season (December time) I was in the Westfield corner stand sat next to a Chinese student. It was his 1st year in the country, he told me he supported Beijing Guon and loved football, so decided to come to BL. He told me he comes to every home match and his favourite player was Mark Duffy, said he's our best player. He also said he was impressed with SU and said that we were possibility a little better then the best sides in China.

So did you kop off with him ? The student not Duffy,

 

[cahill]

To be fair I didn't realise there were any Chinese students in Sheffield

He told me there are loads of students from China at the Sheffield University.
He said they come over to learn the English language whilst studying.

So much choice

We ain't got a barrel of money
We ain't got Woody or Currie
But we've Tufty and Knill

Surprised about that. They're not very visible on the streets of Sheffield are they ?

I suppose it depends what "loads" actually means.
Doubt there's 1000's of Chinese students so that they are clearly visible and noticed in the city.
But it wouldn't be surprised if there's, say 200 to 300 students recently arrived from China.

A few months ago, one lunchtime in the week I saw a group of 30 young Chinese people at the bottom of Netherthorpe Road at Shalesmoor walking towards the newly built student accomodation flats.

Bash!

Ok Sheffsteel
I'll have to keep my eyes open in future, how will I recognise them ?

Wallop !
