Formline 3.11– "Victory against Lincoln, defeat to Pompey and looking ahead to Bristol City..."
It’s a bit downbeat this one.
This week on the Formline, we pick through a mixed few days for Sheffield United.
First, the positives from the victory over Lincoln. Well, some negatives too. Then, what went wrong at Portsmouth and whether a performance with 10 men can tell us anything much.
We also look ahead to Bristol City, the latest stop in a run of fixtures that still feels important if United are going to turn an uncertain start into something more convincing.

HANG IT IN THE LOUVRE #11 | Travelling Blade
This week on Hang It in the Louvre, we’re joined by Travelling Blade (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWBaSelvTV0En17QK5eWzTQ) to choose three images from his life following United.
There’s Billy Sharp, arms outstretched after scoring his first Premier League goal at Bournemouth. There’s a deeply treasured photo from Sunderland away, capturing the friendships and community that have come from following the Blades, including the late Jonny from Shoreham View. And then there’s Chris Basham at Fulham, an image that marks a brutal end of an era.

Formline 3.10– "The Youth are Revolting + a Lincoln preview..."
This week on Formline, we’re looking at the kids.
Who’s actually progressing? Who needs more football? And what counts as young anyway?
We check in on the loanees, including Louie Marsh’s flying start at Chesterfield, Sam Curtis at Cambridge and Jili Buyabu at Rotherham, before turning to the players already around the first team.
Then it’s back to the Championship, as we preview Lincoln at Bramall Lane and ask whether this is the point where United’s kinder run of fixtures finally starts to count.
*Sorry about Sam’s audio quality!
