Repping RunnerBlades at Peter Pan parkrun in Hull this morning. Blown around on the wind like Peter Pan. Now on to the MKM Stadium where I hope that come 2:30 the only Lost Boys are Hull City. #blueskyblades #sufc

Not sure the dust has settled post-match, or if it will. But time allows a more reflective look back on United's defeat to Bristol City. #sufc #BlueSkyBlades

And here is the first post. A long overdue trip to the Coach & Horses to watch Sheffield FC take on a youthful Blades side.

Long time no share.

So I have started a substack. Dipping my toe into a bit of writing again.

At the moment it's based around football matches I go to. Musings on a midweek trip to watch Sheffield United's pre-season friendly at Burton......

On Wednesday fans bizarrely claiming l a 1-0 defeat is some sort of victory, as we should be thrashing them.....

Effectively 72 points after 34 games. Maintain that, you get promoted. Started off well, but we don't have the legs or depth of squad they have. Rothwell has been key in both their recent comebacks. Frustrating, yes. But move on and admire we went toe to toe. #BSkyBlades

In our wildest dreams we wouldn't have expected to be where we are now. The size of rebuild, lack of confidence. Performances have dipped in recent weeks, Boro being a huge exception. Hull aside, we have got results. Fans should still say what they see, it's not ingratitude, just valid observations.

A good day out watching The Blades. The only surprise in the starting XI for me was O'Hare out, particularly given Gus's injury. The 1st half a tough watch, although I did expect Luton to offer more than a 24th placed side. Better 2nd with changes to XI / formation. 3 more big uns #BSkyBlades
