The Sheffield United Hodcast

It’s Halloween and United had managed as always to give us our fair share of tricks and treats. We’ve had some frightfully bad defending, horrifying decision making from referees and terrifyingly good off the bench appearances. In this episode of the Hodcast, we review our 3-0 demolition of Lincoln - with a Bamford brace seeing them off after a poor first half (certainly a theme of this Hod). The maddening 3-2 defeat away at Pompey on a Wednesday night. The much improved victory over the Robins with Ollie Arblaster looking like he’s back. Before rounding off with the frustrating draw with the Rams this weekend. We also make our predictions for the next three games including the visit of Disney FC on Friday. Thanks to Shaun, Lee and anyone who gives us a listen.

Resident pessimist Mr. Starbuck makes his Hodcast debut!In this episode, Lee argues why it might be time to call time on Chris Wilder’s reign at the Lane, while Jonny tries to bring a bit of hope to the table and defend CW’s third stint. Meanwhile, I try my hardest to host and keep the arguing from boiling over!Special thanks to Shaun for his support, Lee for jumping on board, and everyone who listens.Up the Blades! ⚔️

Well. It’s a bleak time. Or certainly feels that way. The world seems to get madder day by day and you’re not quite sure where the next ray of sunshine will come from. But don’t worry, you’ve always got Sheffield United…In this episode of the Hodcast Jonny and I explore United’s consistently inconsistent form over the last few games.we rattle through the win against Blackburn, the “heroic” defeat to the Wolves and the abject performance at Stoke.We’ve kept this one brief as the performances have had little to shout about. As always huge thanks to anyone who has helped us out and to Shaun for his singing. Up the Blades!

Well, it’s been an interesting opening to the season… we have to admit that much. Whether you're an optimist, a realist, or a pessimist, there has been plenty for us as Blades fans to discuss and dissect.In this episode, we cover the back-to-back games in Wales against the Swans and the Bluebirds. We briefly touch on the Blackburn cup tie (the first flashes of Donovan’s silky skills), the wild win over Bolton, and that deeply frustrating defeat to the Canaries.Jonny and I also chat about the transfer window: can you ever just be whelmed?And we take a quick look at the "Blades in America" update from the owners.Thanks as always to Shaun and Lee for their help, and to everyone for listening!

In this episode of the Sheffield United Hodcast, we reflect on the bore-draw home game with Birmingham City. I force Jonny to give some player ratings which he found incredibly difficult to do such was the dullness of this one. We talk briefly about the nonsense in the boardroom and then we get onto the more interesting topic of our preseason thoughts and predictions. We assembled the crew again this time to get their takes and I’ve included a small table at the end for anyone interested!
