Bowyer had invited Wisdom, who was born in Yorkshire, to work with City’s under-23’s squad around a month ago. Wisdom left the Midlands when his contract with County, who are embroiled by financial issues, expired. “I don’t know how much truth is in that but I know he ain’t here.

No big reaction from the Coventry game either. Play like that for the remainder of the season and we’ll end up taking a playoff spot. Pleased for the clean sheet. Credit to Sheff Utd though, they were a strong and organised outfit. He’d have a better game with yates or lavery next to him. 7 off the playoffs.
Barnsley's assistant coach Ferran Sibila has singled out Morgan Gibbs-White as one of Sheffield United's main threats this weekend.
Sibila said: "Sheffield have a good squad, a good team, a team that has different strengths both in and out of possession. "I think Sheffield is a team that wants to dominate the games and control,” added Sibila. "Number 27 (Gibbs-White) is a player that gets in between lines and he can make runs behind as well.
The defender had been training with Birmingham City since February amid Blues' defensive shortage.
We were doing extras with him after training and I think it would have taken him a while to get up to Championship level. Maxime Colin, just days after returning from a thigh strain will almost certainly have to start at the Liberty Stadium. The 28-year-old had been working at Wast Hills as Blues explored the possibility of signing defensive reinforcements amid a severe injury crisis.

It is tough to take." "But while the little moments of quality we were looking for did not quite happen, the set-plays worked and we should have been going away from here with a 2-0 win. "In the second half, we were okay and then lost our way and we had to make a change to get a little bit more control in the game.
The Seasiders put in an excellent second half showing against a well-drilled Blades side.
Don't miss a thing from the club you love! Someone who can read into what is happening and adjust their approach in order to find the best solution - much like his head coach. Sheffield United were an excellent side off the ball, well drilled and intense in their pressure. Blackpool started to read the passing patterns in tight areas from the visitors and backed off at times in order to press at the right time to win the ball on a turnover. This is why Neil Critchley is successful. In this case it was more about relaying the message of confidence to the players, that they have the quality to go toe-to-toe with anyone in the division now and it showed.
The Blades recovered from a horror defensive show on Saturday to keep a clean sheet at Blackpool on Wednesday night.
"It was tough all night but he's dealt with it and it will do him well for the future. Second half we were OK and then lost our way and had to make a change to get a bit more control on the game. "We started well and I was very pleased with the first half. Strong against a strong front three with Gary Madine up there and the wingers. It was a good night in particular for young Gordon. The teen was making only his fourth league start in a United shirt but is growing in confidence. "We had to play the pitch and although respecting the opponents understand how tough it is to play on this pitch.

The 28-year-old is experienced and versatile, with his arrival potentially taking the heat off some young players Heckingbottom has had to bring through. I don’t know what’s happening there.” Wisdom, who is a free agent, had been training with Birmingham, but Bowyer has confirmed that’s no longer the case and, further to that, alluded to the fact he’d heard the defender was someone Sheffield United were taking a look at.

The Blades should still just about edge it, but do not be surprised to see the Tykes take a point. Moreover, Barnsley have only won one of their last six meetings with Sheffield United; Lys Mousset scored twice as the Blades triumphed 3-2 in this season's reverse fixture at Oakwell. However, they have picked up just one win and seven points away from home this season and have lost 13 of their last 15 games on the road in all competitions.

It is great for them going forward, but I’d rather them have earned it and got past people. Listen, it will be great for them and their families, but let’s get it right, I’d love to be earning their place on the bench and getting past the other 14 first-team players who are out injured, But we are not.”
Sheffield United played out a 0-0 draw with Blackpool on Wednesday, and one man who impressed for the Blades was 19-year-old Kyron Gordon.
Of the two challenges he attempted, he completed both and wasn’t dribbled past once. Of the 11 aerial duels the 19-year-old contested, he managed to win seven – a total no Sheffield United player bettered, with Jack Robinson second on four. Sheffield United men Sander Berge and Oliver Norwood both saw goals chalked off for offside, while Blackpool’s Josh Bowler hit the bar.

They were poor all night, and they’ve cost us at the end of the day. Norwood’s shot took a touch off Robinson’s back before going in, and a late offside flag cut the celebrations short. I honestly don’t know what they’ve seen to make the decisions.
Sheffield United played out a 0-0 draw with Blackpool on Wednesday evening leaving the Blades ninth in the Championship.
With around 13 minutes left, Sheffield United again appeared to take the lead. Sander’s goal, 3 players play him onside, should have never been disallowed. Sheffield United had two goals disallowed as they played out a closely fought 0-0 draw with Blackpool on Wednesday evening, with Paul Heckingbottom labelling the game as “a 2-0 win, not a draw.”

"For the second one Oli shoots and the assistant can see our players in an offside position but the referee can see there is no one between the ball and the goalkeeper, not one person. Even if the goalkeeper's in front of Sander there are still two Blackpool players in front of him and the goal-line. "I am going to try and see them (the officials) now.
The Blades striker did not feature at Blackpool last night but was willing to risk his fitness for the team.
He said: "We brought Oli and he has done everything he can, even to the point of being in the pool at the hotel. Steve [Humphries, physio] will certainly sort that out, but the scan was reassuring in terms of no more muscle damage to his hamstring. He had not recovered in the build-up to Wednesday night's goalless draw at Bloomfield Road but still travelled with the team in the hope of adding an extra option on the bench.

“They’ll have to when they watch the replays back again, because they’ll see the same thing I have. “I’ll speak to them afterwards, and they (the officials) will say the same thing I will. Heckingbottom said: “If they could see it (the officials) they would feel the same way I do about them.

Because keeping him around the club after he does inevitably retire would be a shrewd move for the club to make. While he couldn’t quite match the overall standard of the league and couldn’t sustain playing quite as many minutes, he was still a valuable asset to the team. He has scored in League One, the Championship and the Premier League for the club and played a vital role in their promotion campaigns through the English pyramid.

"It was a 2-0 win not a goalless draw. "We knew it might be a tough, hard-fought game and it was, and we deserved the officials to do their jobs properly as well." "We took the game to them second half and if any side was going to win it that was going to be us."

Sheffield United defender Jack Robinson has slammed the 'terrible' decisions from the officials in the Blades 0-0 draw with Blackpool last night.
Robinson himself was involved in the build-up to the second disallowed goal and he says he was clearly onside when the ball touched his back from Oliver Norwood’s long distance strike. “They were poor all night, and they’ve cost us at the end of the day. Robinson, though, says they were both onside and that the officials cost Sheffield United all three points.
The striker was the latest to make his first team Blades appearance when he came off the bench in the goalless draw at Blackpool last night.
He has always been highly regarded by the club's coaching staff and both Heckingbottom and Jack Lester are particularly excited by his future. "We gave him his chance at the end because he has certainly got pace and is certainly unpredictable and that's why he got his chance. The 18-year-old powerful forward has been impressing in the under 23s, scoring 12 goals last season as part of their title-winning campaign.
