unheralded stars of Sky Sports.
Absolutely, yeah.
I mean, I think the consistency of team selection is huge.
And Matt mentions the unit defensively.
And I think we have to mention how unusual and extraordinary that's been because it's a back five there and four of them haven't missed a game.
And the other guy is John Egan.
He missed one game.
And that was the three-all draw with Manchester United, which I think a lot of the neutrals remember as one of Sheffield United's best games.
But it was actually the only one in which they've conceded three all season.
So that's kind of a clue how important it is that they're all there.
They're all doing their jobs and how they fit in with each other.
And like you say, you mentioned the underlapping.
centre-back, because everyone talks about that, but they stopped the transitions as well, Ollie Norwood's played every game as well, and they're back in defensive shape quickly, so I think it's an incredibly well-drilled team.
We've picked Basham, and that's a good shout, but I think when we did the team of the year, when you had to pick the player of the year, we had about 12 Sheffield United players in there on their potential team, so some of the teams were struggling for two, so I think that's a clue that there isn't really a bad pick in that team.
Yeah, huge fan of Buendia.
I think this is one of those picks where we're playing fast and loose with the term unsung hero, aren't we?
Because the fans do sing his name.
But I think we do have to include him just because he's had one of those seasons where
If Norwich were doing a little bit better, he'd be in a lot of people's Premier League team of the year, I think.
The individual numbers are fantastic.
