Sheffield United

Sheffield United are yet to offer Chris Basham a new contract despite being in talks with the veteran defender, per the Sheffield Star.

“He wants me to stay and I want to stay so it’s about waiting for the club and my agent. Basham has been at the Blades since 2014, which means he is about to finish his eighth season at Bramall Lane and it appears that all parties want to extend that to a ninth consecutive one. Blades boss Paul Heckingbottom recently stated that he saw Basham and fellow senior player Billy Sharp as being in the squad for years to come in the wake of contract rumblings earlier in the month.

The Bluebirds head to Bramall Lane for a tough test against the Blades this afternoon.

Some calls for a red from the crowd but yellow is the right decision. He cuts inside and lets off a shot, but it's deflected and cleraed. Gibbs-White with a wonderful dinked pass over Cardiff's defence and Sander Berge timed his run excellently. Watters sets Hugill away and he runs 20, 30, 40 yards with the ball. Went in hard on Norwood with the challenge near the touchline. The game then ebbed a little and neither team did themselves any favours. Foderingham's awful pass went straight to City's striker and he, presumably shorn of confidence after that earlier miss, opted to square it to Cody Drameh on the edge of the box. The Blades then settled and looked more confident as the half wore on. At the other end, well, Dillon Phillips was made to earn his keep, too. The first big opportunity was borne of a blistering Cardiff counter. All things considered, it could have been two-all after 20 minutes and probably should have been, given quality of the chances which were spurned from both sides. Cardiff, meanwhile, find themselves in a bit of a rut.

Sheffield United claimed a crucial 1-0 win thanks to Iliman Ndiaye's header at the start of the second half.

Sheffield United had a lucky escape when Foderingham gave the ball away to Watters in his own half. Phillips parried the ball away, diving to his right. Sharp had a chance on the counter-attack when the ball was slipped through to him down the left-hand side and he tried to square the ball to Gibbs-White.

The Bluebirds boss was enraged by what he believes to have heard at Bramall Lane during the 1-0 defeat by the Blades.

But it was an absolute disgrace, he is an old man, a doctor, looking after a player on the pitch. There were £2m worth of transfer fees [on the pitch for Cardiff], whereas they've got over £30m. So it's something to be proud of for our football club." "They heard it, everyone knows who it was, but he was allowed. You're allowed to say what you want to us but we can't say anything back because we are the professionals. "But it is what it is and that's football. "It's amazing how some people are allowed to talk to you and talk to someone like Len Nokes, who has been at this club for 30-odd years.

The Bluebirds boss claims he was subject to 'a lack of respect' from a Blades supporter.

Security personnel were called and the incident reported, but Morison was furious with the lack of action. "They knew who it was and let him sit there because it’s easier, that’s maybe why we have problems in the world. "I cant say what he said but it showed a lack of respect and nothing was done, the culprit carried on for the rest of the game.

The Blades returned to winning ways with a much-needed 1-0 success at home to Cardiff City.

Hot the post in added-on time to put the icing on the cake of a great performance. Good on the ball in midfield and there was one moment in the second half where he left two men standing as he drove into the area. Did well in the second half to palm away under pressure with the visitors pushing for an equaliser.

He was bundled to the ground inside the area when taking a chipped pass on his chest. A rasping half volley from the edge of the area that was pushed away by Dillon Phillips, low to his left. Victory against a side with nothing but pride to play for was a must if the Blades were to keep destiny in their own hands.

The Bluebirds were defeated by a single goal in a tight encounter at Bramall Lane on Saturday, April 23rd, 2022.

McGuinness saw his header into the danger area tipped away by Foderingham with twenty minutes left to play before fellow sub Rubin Colwill struck over late on from distance with City restricted to half chances in the second period. Will Vaulks and Mark McGuinness came on to replace Cody Drameh and Ralls. The hosts went on the attack from the restart and found the first goal. Watters combined with fellow forward Jordan Hugill, before beating his defender and finding himself one-on-one with Wes Foderingham. The Blades’ shot stopper though made a fine low stop to keep the scores level.

Sheffield United consolidated their place in the Championship play-offs after beating Cardiff City 1-0 at Bramall Lane.

Beaten too easily by Watters for City's early chance but did well shortly after to stop Hugill in his tracks as he looked to make inroads. Piled forward as often as he could and United look much more coherent with him in the side Forced into an early save after Watters burst through the middle, but his shot was tame and gave the goalkeeper a chance.

The Blades boss watched his side secure a huge victory in the race for the Championship play-off places.

"Our first goal is to try and get in the play-offs. "We’re still in the mix and to put ourselves in that position from November onwards is remarkable. It’s going to be nervy and that’s the stage of the season we’re at.

The Bluebirds manager accused a Blades supporter of showing a 'lack of respect' to his team's doctor during their 1-0 defeat at Bramall Lane.

He's been spoken to but he carried on for the rest of the game. He admitted he was spoken to by a steward and says he did not say anything else for the remainder of the game. Morison was seen to be involved in what looked a heated exchange with a fan behind his dugout in the South Stand during the first half of his side's 1-0 defeat at Bramall Lane yesterday.

Here are some of the things which might have slipped under the radar from the clash at Bramall Lane.

"He said to me at half-time it was the best it had felt all week and the first thing that happened was he had a whack on it. "He just wanted to give it a go, that's the kid he is! When Ng got caught in a tangle with Blades forward Ndiaye in the box, they managed to wrestle each other off the pitch, behind Dillon Phillips' goal. But Drameh was having none of it and refused to be taken off, which was quite bizarre considering he literally couldn't run. The Bluebirds manager jumped in his way, prompting sharp to jump on Morison's back, piggy-back style. Billy Sharp was sent to warm up down the touchline by Paul Heckingbottom just before the half-hour mark.

Privately, although he resisted the temptation to say so at the time, Paul Heckingbottom always suspected it would be like this.

“For the goal, we had four bodies I think in there which was great to see,” Heckingbottom said. Having challenged Ndiaye to “do more” not so long ago, Heckingbottom was delighted to see the young Frenchman score for the second time in three outings. “We haven’t got the luxury of having a cushion,” Heckingbottom explained, as United began preparing for the penultimate fixture of their regular campaign.

“It seems a bit strange for a billionaire but hopefully he’s in it for the right reasons and he is the right man to take the club forward.” “In one way I’m excited that it could take the club to a new level with investment in the playing squad and much-needed investment in facilities, whereas on the other hand it all seems a bit strange. “Also, there isn’t much to find on the internet online about Henry Mauriss, I could only find a couple of reports and a singular photograph.

At the moment, it’s hard to make full sense of what’s happening. He has said himself that the club needs further investment and he stands to make a good chunk of money if the £115m bid goes through. However, fresh reports have emerged where Prince Abdullah has reportedly said the takeover has less than a 50% chance of happening as things stand.

Now, having also been on target when Reading travelled to South Yorkshire on Good Friday, he will enter United’s penultimate contest of the campaign - at Queens Park Rangers - searching for his third in four. “He didn’t really fit the system that the club was playing. “We can’t get away from the fact we need a number nine out there. But those two, they’re really good together.” But we’ve all seen what he can do with the ball, you could see it back then. After scoring a superb solo effort during December’s win over Fulham in west London, Ndiaye had failed to find the back of the net in 13 appearances.

On the one hand, Bazunu has been in excellent form this season, and certainly looks ready to make the step to a higher level, so he could be a useful asset for the Blades. This is an interesting one to consider from a Sheffield United perspective. Bazunu has yet to make his senior debut for City, but is currently on loan at League One side Portsmouth, where he has impressed with 44 appearances in all competitions this season.

Sheffield United are keen on signing Manchester City and Republic of Ireland goalkeeper, Gavin Bazunu, according to a report from The Sun.

In terms of transfers, the club needs to know what’s happening ASAP, or they could miss out on players such as Bazunu. Henderson was the same when he was with us, so it’s a good trait to have. Bazunu has enjoyed a fine spell with Portsmouth this season and is keen to take the next step in his career to keep up the momentum.
