Sheffield United’s difficult start to the Championship season under new manager Ruben Selles has attracted criticism from ex-players and pundits, with concerns raised about the team’s performance and mentality.
Andy Hinchcliffe, speaking on the Sky Sports Essential EFL Podcast, expressed doubts about whether the dressing room is fully convinced by Selles. Hinchcliffe noted that the players’ body language doesn’t seem right and suggested that the squad, despite losing key players like Souza and Anel Ahmedhodzic, should be performing better based on their quality on paper.
Adrian Clarke, on the What The EFL? podcast, emphasized the need for Ipswich to capitalize on Sheffield United’s current fragile mental state. Clarke suggested that Ipswich should take the game to the Blades, who are struggling, in order to give their fans a reason to be optimistic.
David Prutton, an EFL expert, highlighted the lack of unity between the manager, fans, and players at Sheffield United. Prutton mentioned that there appears to be a disconnect between Selles and the supporters, and emphasized the need for a change in order to improve the situation at Bramall Lane.
Overall, there are concerns about Sheffield United’s poor form and the need for improvements both on and off the pitch to turn their season around.
