Sheffield United need to get themselves back on the horse, and quickly, after a Boxing Day bruising at Wrexham saw some familiar failings rear their ugly heads again. The Blades go to Stoke City tomorrow looking for a swift response to the 5-3 defeat.
Boss Chris Wilder may have already been planning changes but that process may have been accelerated by too many off-days in North Wales, although a lack of options in certain key areas is limiting how much he can do until the January window opens for business.
We tasked our man with coming up with the side Wilder could send out at Stoke - has he got it just about right or would you do anything differently?
5. Harrison Burrows
A change at left-back after a pretty abject display from McCallum in that position at Wrexham. When you have a player with Burrows' quality snapping at your heels, you have to be absolutely bang at it to keep your place and unfortunately McCallum was a long way from that | Sportimage
6. Jairo Riedewald
Ordinarily there'd be changes in midfield as well but such is the lack of options, or quality, in the middle of the park that Wilder may have no option but to go again with the two that played together on Boxing Day | Sportimage
7. Oliver Arblaster
The risk there is obviously over-exposing Arblaster as he continues his push for full fitness after a lengthy injury, and there were signs of ring-rust at Wrexham as he surrendered possession cheaply in the build-up to Moore's second goal.

I've been impressed with Chong in the glimpses we've seen since he came back from injury but he had a real tough time at Wrexham and may be forced to watch from the bench at Stoke as a result Photo: Simon Bellis
