Peter Smith

That was the team that we selected on this podcast a few weeks ago.

But it's one of O'Connell's teammates, Matt, that we're focusing on today.

Who's that?

That's the buzz phrase, isn't it?

I think when anyone talks about Sheffield United this season, it's about the overlapping and underlapping centre-backs.

You've got to throw that one in at some point, haven't you?

Absolutely.

Yeah, absolutely.

Adam, we spoke or Matt just mentioned there about the amount of distance that Bashim's covering.

And that sort of points, I guess, to the style that Chris Wilder wants his defenders to defend in.

So does he deserve a lot of credit then for this defensive record that Sheffield United have got?

As Matt said, 25 conceded in just 28 games this season.

It's a remarkably impressive record for a team playing their first season back in the Premier League, isn't it?

Yeah, a lot of players have had very impressive seasons for Sheffield United.

And that's obviously reflected in their high position in the table, perhaps unexpectedly high position, given what many pundits may have thought they might do at the start of the season.

And Chris Basham, just worth noting, a free transfer from Blackpool in 2014.

So not a bad sign in that one from Sheffield United.

OK, next up, we're going to look at another team who were promoted last season.

It's Norwich.

So it's been a great season for Sheffield United.
