🚨 24/25 SEASON PLAYER RATINGS... thepinch.uk/p/verdict-sh... Riley doesn’t do sympathy scores. Every Blade rated across the full season — 5 is average, and only six dropped below it. Tough? Maybe. Honest? Always.

I was/am phone notes. It’s like a great film. I’m so jealous of everyone who’s not played it

I watched a YouTube review before buying, which outlined the mechanic a bit more. So I benefited massively from economical and good early runs. Tbf, there could be yet more surprises

Downloaded this on Friday after reading your post about it. The drafting system intrigued me. …I should’ve completed it on my last run (day 33), but somehow effed it up, despite 46 being there for the taking. Incredible game.

Gotcha. I mean, yeah, it’s not great is it. Neither is the moaning, but we pay for the privilege.

Ahh now it makes more sense to me. What I saw live was the half time apology.

Agree. Be good for him

100% - and Peck was a rare good point in a poor showing yesterday

The Pinch @thepinch.uk · 04/04/2025

Do think Peck has it all for a wonderful career. Do wonder if the huge number of CMs in football make it a tough position to thrive in at the top

Thank you mate! Great to back at it weekly

hahaha - I gave him some stick for it :)

Was really nice to see for 60 minutes-ish. Especially at times in the first half where looked comfortable playing one and two-touch passes around their press -- why have we been unable to do that against poorer sides?

000

The Pinch @thepinch.uk · 26/02/2025

Was thinking this too. We've got a fun core who aren't going to get bought by bigger fish. A nice mix of young players too. We'd lose Hamer, Anel and probably Souza - but that's more than likely the lot.

Piece penned for @thepinch.uk on some of the stuff that the new American owners at Bramall Lane might want to consider getting stuck into on the non-playing side of things. Safe standing is an obvious one – but there’s plenty additional things they could leave their mark on #sufc #bskyblades

Top performance. Front foot from the off. Pressed from the front. Great passages of play. Hamer & O'Hare superb. Deserved lead. Then Donohue gives that. Terrible decision and no card for 3(!) swings of the arm. Could've lost our heads, but built momentum 2nd half and just reward. #BSkyBlades

Even accounting for him facing more shots, that’s pretty stark!

I would challenge this statistic. Most consistently misspelled? Yes, Choudhury will probably top that list. Real high xMS Most total misspellings? Surely "Sharpe"?

Interesting! Yes, I like that. Will pick up on that thread in either this week's recording or the next. You can see in someone like Alfie Gilchrist that 'cultural' recruitment is there.

Blades best player of 2024? So far this season, I'd hand it to Harrison Burrows. But for the whole of 2024, it has to be Gus Hamer. Very, very lucky to have him. Such a joy, even stuck out there on the left.

The Pinch @thepinch.uk · 21/12/2024

Great performance that. Good goals. Good cameos. Nice, simple, dominant possession. Top of the pile at Christmas — would never have guessed it. Big challenge Boxing Day. Bring on Parker’s turkeys.
