In this edition I take a look at how some of the legends that helped The Blades achieve promotion back in 2019 are getting on today.

Doncaster Rovers Fans Views On Billy Sharp

“Seen a bit of disrespect for the goat recently.
Yes, he has a better impact from the bench at this stage. But there isn’t anybody else I want coming on for 20-30 mins when a game is hanging in the balance.
We’re lucky to have King Billy with us”

“I love Billy Sharp but I’m sorry we are nowhere near as good going forward when he starts over Ironside. Side side”

“Love the guy but he shouldn’t be starting, he’s a massive impact player not the one to lead the line”

“Sharp has major clutch capacity but works much better off the bench”

“We have a 20+ goal a season striker sat on the bench. But yet a 38 year old gets picked in every big game. Everyone wants sharp to play and score but we’ve got to be realistic”

“Sharp starts because of his name”

“Sharp is not and never will be a lone striker.”

“I’d love an insight into why we kept launching it long for Billy Sharp to chase when he can’t run any more”

“sharp offers nothing.”

“a player that’s massively out of form.”

NOTTS COUNTY FANS VIEWS ON DAVID MCGOLDRICK

” don’t look the same team without mcgoldrick if am honest”

“McGoldrick a huge miss! Hoping he’s back quick!!”

“Didzy just gets classier & more influential. He’s had to learn to play League 2. Last year, the tricks & passes he was trying weren’t understood by players around him. He’s had to dumb down to improve”

“he looks about 3 levels above”

“He’s been another level of good this season.”

“He is unplayable”

“Mcgoldrick is class,the work rate, leadership, and technical ability is unrivalled in this league.We are very lucky to have him”

“incredible work rate for 37”

“hes defiying his years . playing like a 25 year old..
10 out of 10″

“an amazing bloke we’re proud to call ours”

“The amount of Sheffield United and Derby fans on every post about Didzy just shows how loved he is as a player and a bloke, so blessed to have him at Meadow Lane”

“To watch him wearing the black and white, at Meadow Lane is fantastic”

“I wish I enjoyed my job as much as Didzy does his”

“Didzy is one of a kind.”

“As good as didzy is he does miss a lot of easier chances.”

STOCKPORT FANS VIEWS ON OLI NORWOOD

“That unknown Ollie Norwood guy is starting to look like a slight bargain so far”

“Norwood has got to be the EFL signing of the season!”

“Oli Norwood rewinding the clock to his days across the nearby Tinsley Viaduct.”

“It’s been like having a new player, the last half dozen games he’s been awesome.”

“Norwood at this level is astonishing, already knows where he wants it, gets it out of his feet quickly”

“His long balls are something else”

“Different gravy.”

“For all his accomplishments and international caps, he comes across as a pleasant, humble chap.
I hope he continues to thrive with us”

“Feels very chalk and cheese for me, can be absolutely mint when he decides to turn up”

“good in patches, but why on earth did we offer a 3 year contract?”

“Reminder that 33 year old Oli Norwood signed on a three year deal.
Looks to be absolutely awful business at this stage, assuming the wages he’ll be on…”

HULL CITY FANS VIEWS ON JOHN EGAN

“Our defence bar Egan is low league 1 standard.”

“he is levels above any defender in that team. He was sheff u best defender for many years and especially in the prem.”

“Like the look of Egan, completely no-nonsense”

“By no nonsense, you mean he gives the ball away under no pressure”

“Egan is actually not that great. Low low championship quality center back. Slightly better than Macca, but had several times where he literally just lost the ball. He’s also rubbish at marking on corners”

“He found touch a lot of times, some on purpose but a few by mistake. Not seeing him as a step up so far.”

“Haven’t seen what he gives as of yet in a positive way.”

“Egan panics every time the ball comes to him in the air, even under no pressure, he heads it straight back to them”

“He’s a safety first player, kicking it out or heading straight back where it came from rather than keeping possession”

“The main effect of Egan so far to move Jones and Macca out of their best positions.”

STOKE CITY FANS VIEWS ON ENDA STEVENS

“Stevens is so important to us. When he’s fit, we hardly lose”

“Enda Stevens absolute hero”

“Enda Stevens one of the most underrated LB in the league”

“One of our few half decent players”

“The only one in our defence I would keep next season”

“hes great defensively just a tad bit slow”

“He is no longer able to run”

“He has really struggled in one to one situations lately, so much that I don’t trust him anymore”

“seems to have lost his pace completely”

“Stevens appears to have suddenly gone after being one of our better players for 18 months.”

“Stevens spends more time injured than playing. Another of the crazy close season decisions the management team made, giving Stevens a contract extension.”

“Steady servant but its like watching a dog that needs putting down.”

CRYSTAL PALACE FANS VIEWS ON DEAN HENDERSON

“Remember when people though Dean Henderson was going to be a waste of money? just for him to be the absolute opposite and still only 27”

“Humble pie time.
When Dean Henderson first played in the team I thought he was awful. Poor positioning, awful distribution, no diving. After the hiding at Brighton I was hoping he’d never play again but what a turnaround. Confidence, coaching, whatever, he’s now atop keeper and I have total confidence in him.
Everything about his game has changed for the better and he’s critical in our upturn in form.
England caps well deserved.”

“Yep, serve me up a slice too. He reminded me of biscuit fingers Hennessey but worse, and injury prone. But he has turned that firm on it’s head. Well done him”

“to think Man U sold Henderson to us lol”

“Henderson is now as good if not better than Pickford.”

“He is the best gk in the country and should easily be starting for England.”

“THE BEST GK IN THE WORLD”

“Love him a lot, probably one of the best Palace players this season so far. I don’t rebember him having a clear mistake in 2024 and this begining of 2025.”

“Forest away twice he’s had some bad ones but certainly won us more points than he’s lost us”

“Dean Henderson is Palace. Passion every game.”

“has been class all season”

“Unsung hero of the season”

“I really rate him and feel what helps is he has something to prove. The only downside I can think of is his distribution, I recall many occasions where he kicks it out of play. In general though I think he is excellent and getting better thanks to a run of games”

“Still not convinced but he has certainly been better than when he first signed I’ll give you that. He’s still likely to lob one in though. 7.5/10 season so far and not worth £20m.”
