"Stuff that could potentially be a distraction we just don't entertain it. We have had the talk of the embargo, takeover but not on the training ground. " The club will tell you something when they have something to say. Football and the players are my focus. We know we have a busy couple of weeks coming up with Wrexham now at the forefront of our mind. - Paul Heckingbottom HEAD TO HEAD We've played at Bramall Lane three times, and are still looking for our first win. Our first game there was a Second Division match in April 1979: our first campaign in the second tier was drawing to a close, and we'd secured a comfortabe mid-table finish, while the Blades were mired in the relegation zone. We were the better side in the opening stages and took the lead when Steve Buxton's header was turned into his own net by Blades defender Les Tibbott.
Iliman Ndiaye and Sander Berge remain at Bramall Lane, although Berge has reportedly suggested that his intention is to run his contract down and leave on a free transfer in 2024. Off the pitch, the transfer embargo appears to remain in place with speculation mounting that an 18-month sanction might be in the pipeline. Blades fans' sense of unease has multiplied after the Daily Mail claimed that prospective new owner Dozy Mmobuosi, who is believed to have made a £90 million bid, might not have the wherewithal to complete the deal.
Despite throwing everything they could at their South Yorkshire neighbors, The Blades couldn't force a breakthrough, but they still remain in an enviable position, ten points clear of third placed Middlesbrough with a game in hand. Tommy Doyle missed the game, having not trained since the Wrexham game due to a tight calf, whie Daniel Jebbison will definitely be absent from the replay as he will be serving the second of his three match ban for his dismissal at The Racecourse. The transfer deadline has passed since we last met, and the good news is that The Blades didn't lose any of the star players who had been attracting jealous glances from Premier League clubs.
