Chris Wilder has admitted he and his Sheffield United coaching staff are facing “tough decisions” ahead of Wednesday night’s trip to Manchester United, with the position of goalkeeper Ivo Grbic one of those under scrutiny. The Croatian international had another unconvincing afternoon on Saturday against Burnley, leading to further question marks about his place. The goalkeeper has not enjoyed a good start to life at Bramall Lane since joining from Atletico Madrid in January, with Wilder publicly...
Chris Wilder has not closed the door on Wes Foderingham’s Sheffield United career after restoring the former Rangers goalkeeper to his starting XI. Foderingham lost his place to Ivo Grbic after his January arrival from Atletico Madrid, but replaced Grbic at Manchester United on Wednesday and was the Blades’ man of the match in a 4-2 defeat. Foderingham will retain his place for this weekend’s trip to Newcastle, which could see the Blades officially relegated if they lose to Eddie Howe’s side,...
Sheffield United have made four changes to their side for this evening’s trip to Manchester United, with Chris Wilder making a change in goal. Ivo Grbic’s latest unconvincing display, against Burnley at the weekend in a 4-1 defeat, has seen him taken out of the firing line, with Wes Foderingham coming back in for his first start since February 18. Grbic is on the bench, alongside James McAtee and youngster Owen Hampson. Cameron Archer comes in to start, as does Mason Holgate and youngster Andre...
Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder admits he is facing some big decisions ahead of his side’s trip to Manchester United tomorrow evening. Top of the list for the Blades chief is a call on his goalkeeper, with a number of Unitedites calling for Ivo Grbic to be taken out of the firing line after another unconvincing display in defeat to Burnley at the weekend. Wilder, who was scathing about a lack of leadership after that 4-1 loss saw the Blades take another step closer to relegation, must also...
Chris Wilder admitted that Ivo Grbic’s Sheffield United has not been a success so far after the goalkeeper was dropped for Wednesday night’s trip to Manchester United. The Croatian international, who arrived in January from Atletico Madrid, faced more scrutiny over his position after another unconvincing display in the weekend defeat to Burnley and Wes Foderingham was recalled at Old Trafford. It was a decision that proved justified as the former Rangers man made a string of fine saves despite...
Chris Wilder has had no issues with the “excellent” attitude of goalkeeper Wes Foderingham since he lost his Sheffield United place to Ivo Grbic earlier this year. The Croatian was immediately installed as the Blades’ new No.1 after arriving in January from Atletico Madrid, but is facing fresh scrutiny over his place after another below-par display against Burnley on Saturday. Grbic has failed to win over Unitedites so far and did not cover himself in glory for either of Burnley’s first two...
Sheffield United are preparing to face Newcastle United this weekend in a fixture that could see them relegated back to the Championship. The Blades have not had a realistic chance of survival for some time, with injuries and poor recruitment curtailing their campaign before it really began. Chris Wilder and his staff will already be preparing for next season, but there is still some Premier League business to take care of first, with four fixtures remaining. The first of the four comes against...
Imagine trying to start your life over on an empty stomach. There’s a training centre in Sheffield that shows a simple kindness to its learners. It’s not everyone, but some of the people who pass through the doors of Momentum Recruitment on Scotland Street will be in a bad way.

It turns out the remedy to all that starts...
