'We haven't thrown the towel in' - Sheffield United star scratching his head at shocking run of results
and live on Freeview channel 276
It doesn’t look good for Sheffield United as the Blades began 2021 with another defeat, this one at Crystal Place with two goals at either end of the first half inflcting a 15th loss in this terrible campaign.
And the form, coming as it does in such contrast to last season when Chris Wilder’s side took the Premier League by storm, has left everyone at the club bamboozled as they attempt to find somthing remotely like what they produced last time around.

Hide AdOne player says the team haven’t given up hope that they will still be in the top flight next season, but he admits he doesn’t know what the answer is.
When asked what United have to do to regain their winning touch, Oliver Norwood replied: “If we knew that we would have done it already.”
"We are searching for answers, we are working hard, trying our best, I just don't know, I really don't know,” he conceded.

“We are not going to give up, we are not going to get the white flag out but things have got to change quicker. We don't help ourselves.”
That final point is certainly true as Norwood admitted that the way they are conceding goals if making their job all the more difficult.
"The first goal is disappointing and then I thought we actually played quite well,” he said. “Had a bit of possession, doing ok and the moment just before half time absolutely kills us.
