Hes not injured either, hes in the unseen training

You're furious if you're him aren't you. He's a really good player

And remember he can play RB, LB, RM, LM, RWB, LWB, CDM, CAM and ST too...

But not good enough for the 20, at present.

These things happen... the Charlton injury might be his 'sliding doors' moment.

Not all signings come off... but still has plenty of time.

Maybe kkh isn't fully over his injury and was just on the bench previously for cover?

It's a very strong bench now compared to a few weeks ago when we had Shepard etc.

This is not a moan, just an observation.

Bench is incredibly strong, however I’d prefer two wingers on there personally - not counting BTA as ones.

Appreciate we have flexibility but having the ability to change both is always a winner for me.

Why do you not count BTA as one?

I saw a ball smashed at him and he caught it like Lev Yashin.

Agree with Yang, completely disagree with Markelo. This is what a top championship team needs, as soon as injuries inevitably hit you still want quality to come in to the bench, you don’t want to fill it with kids

Think a lot is,actually having 22 players in training squads... coaches refer to this,a lot its needed!!

Earlsdon_Skyblue1 · Feb 21, 2026

Can't argue with that team. Every player deserves to keep the shirt after the last performance. Same again please!

Yang and Markelo pretty pointless signings if they aren’t even going to make the squad when everyone’s fit.

Yang's just getting his 'Championship eye' in for next season at the Lane

He can do a job there - and has - but he isn’t a natural winger. He’s a striker and this season has shown he can play as a 10/second striker role.

So I’d expect him to be the Rudoni swap, if we had two wingers on the bench.

He’ll be fine as a wing replacement, but players in their natural positions is always my preference and we have two wingers not in the squad.

Not a big deal, just a personal preference.

Watching from Nigeria, all eyes on Onyeka. Wife's family forcibly kitted out in cov shirts. Need a nice 3 nil

It is.

Allen, Yang and Markelo not even making the match day squad. KKH and Brau as well.

We have too much depth.

Get out of his locker room you dirty perv

StrettoBoy · Feb 21, 2026

Correct

I was just amending my post to add him and Brau when you posted.

I think part of the problem with Brau is that, from the little I have seen of him, he’s better going forward than defending but we have better options for that.

procdoc · Feb 21, 2026

I’d rather see KKH on the bench ahead of Bidwell

We really do have depth

Genuinely think he must have a knock. Just a better player, not to mention he can cover both sides.

PVA · Feb 21, 2026

KKH can't be fully fit. Otherwise it makes no sense to have Bidwell on the bench ahead of him given he can cover both fullbacks and Bidwell can't.

Ricketts · Feb 21, 2026

Just been on both Sheffield forums. Wednesday, want Baggies to win so they are relegated before they play Blades.
Sheffield United want us to win so they can relegate Owls tomorrow.
Weird, but amusing.

procdoc · Feb 21, 2026

Just hope we can back up a great performance today and go on another unbeaten run in the final stretch

Liquid Gold · Feb 21, 2026

Really want another strong performance today.

Don’t let the Boro game be a blip and get the away hoodoo off our backs in one go.

SIR ERNIE · Feb 21, 2026

Come on you Hot Corals

Boicey · Feb 21, 2026

Excited to see what the tank does today.
Still need MVE, JDS to show good discipline on when to get forward. No need to go mad we have plenty upfront.

He's coming on at half time to do kick it for a ticket

Spot on. An away win would be a bigger boost than Monday.

Come on!. Want and Ndlovu goal

Callum styles at left back for them? Get at him

Yeah agree with this. Feels like we’ve got two number 10s and one winger (who would also rather be a number 10).

StrettoBoy · Feb 21, 2026

I predict 1-0 to us. BTA with a late winner against his former team.

Danceswithhorses · Feb 21, 2026

WBA playing a full back and a defensive midfielder as centre halves...interesting ?
