All in all, December wasn’t great month for the Blades out on loan. Sam Graham is back at United following a disappointing spell at Oldham, along with Jordan Hallam who only started 3 games for Chesterfield due to injury. Ben Heneghan has also been injured as have Ricky Holmes and Samir Carruthers at Oxford United. Regan Slater is fit but didn’t start a game over the Christmas period and he isn’t featured here either.
Fleetwood Fans Views On Ched Evans
“Did not get a sniff but like Madden worked hard and worked hard defensively too.”
“Like Madden worked his socks off and was cool as ice when it came to the penalty in front of the loud away support. Another good shift.” “Won the penalty and the coolest man in Highbury to slot home the subsequent spot-kick.”
“He will get at least 20 this season”
“16 I reckon, Madden 20”
“I actually think our front 3 are having a great season, Evans and Madden are class acts along with Hunter”
Barrow Fans Views On Rhys Norrington-Davies
“Norrington-davies was immense”
“Norrington-Davies might be more likely to break through at Sheffield United than Smith”
“He’s got a real chance of being a top, top player.”
“Man Of The Match today”
“Superb cross for the goal”
“Norrington Davies has got to stop that cross coming in, instead he gives the player space to deliver the cross”
Notts County Fans Views On Nathan Thomas
“I think he’s improving every game. After showing occasional glimpses of his quality earlier in the season, he seems to be backing it up with some work ethic.”
“Possibly his best game in a Notts shirt. Big threat going forward but worked harder off the ball than I’ve seen, typified by his pressing which led to the second goal. Not been a fan but no qualms about him starting when he plays like this. Great work for the penalty.”
“Thomas closed down and harried all game which made a massive difference to his all round game and us. He’s probably on the ball for around four minutes in the game so it’s crucial to physically get in oppositions face for the other eighty six minutes and to try and have some effect with the ball for those brief moments. Today he did and if he keeps it up as part of that front three we won’t have to defend deep for large spells of the game.”
“I found Thomas to be quite frustrating at times”
“Thomas has shown flashes of skill.”
“With 1 goal from about 60 shots, he must have set a new low for chance conversion so at least he’s had an impact.”
“I sometimes wonder what would happen if we had another winger who was a better version of Thomas”
“Thomas is dreadful, he missed a one on one today that would have saved us.”
“waste of a wage. Looses the ball, hides when we are in possession.”
“Thomas in-particular endured an awful cameo, blazing one decent chance over and twice giving it away in key areas.”
“Well you might as well brought me on. A very genorous 1/10”
“Send him back”
“Frustrating as he is, I’d keep him until the end of the season”
Queen Of The South Fans Views On Callum Semple
“Came to the club when we needed a CB urgently.
Has been fantastic from his trial game against Hearts to the result of our season so far at Inverness today.
Strong, Calm, excellent in the air and on the floor.
28 appearances and over 2000 minutes played. A successful loan signing if ever there was one and let’s hope we have forged a good relationship with Sheffield United to attract further loan players.
Will follow his career with interest.”“Absolutely, a terrific loan signing and complete success. The boy is as strong as an ox but he will need to be up against some of those giant forwards down south..Comes from Scottish parentage so might be capped for Scotland even if it’s at least the under 21’s.”
“He’s never put a single foot wrong since he’s been here. Young lad and slotted into this level looking like he’s played for years. He’s got a bright future ahead of him.”
“Sheffield United are third in the English Championship only 4 points off the top. This team would be extremely difficult to get into at the moment. I reckon going onto another loan at a higher level than us is probably correct”
“Both Callum and Queens certainly gained from his loan spell with us and I wish him all the best for the rest of his career wherever he may finally end up. Hopefully he does not go back to Sheffield simply to warm the bench as that would surely be a waste for this talented prospect.”
Bury Fans Views On Caolan Lavery
“Was really good – showed intent and an eye for goal. The silver lining in today’s grey cloud!”
“Bang goes the myth that he wasn’t going to play a part thus season once back from injury. Could be just what we need as we reach the stage where the squad needs refreshing.”
“Excellent today. “
“Really impressed with Lavery. Quickly got into the game, looked lively, found space and took his goals well. A contrast to the gutless, aimless display given by both Byron Moore and Nicky Maynard.”
“Lavery is one of those players that is in the right place at the right time. Good work rate throughout.”
“Lavery is a useful player but he does his best work on the floor. However, he is a good option in the closing stages of games.”
“Lavery is a good option and think he will be vital if we are to sustain a promotion push.”
