These Blades fans have been reacting to some incredible stats being that were put up the other day.
Looks like he’s finally getting some recognition from those outside of Bramall Lane. Just a shame it took this long into the season for it to start happening.
Makes you wonder if it took for there to be no football on to give people enough time to actually do some digging and research the stats to make it possible, in which case I’m slightly glad that it happened.
Sky Sports are doing a series called ‘Unsung Heroes’, which they say is a chance to “shine a light on the Premier League players who perhaps have not had the praise they deserve for their 2019/20 season performances”, and one such player has been Blades defender Chris Basham.
Will Chris Basham be a part of Premier League Team Of The Year?
Yes
No
They took to Twitter to show off his impressive defensive stats from this season and it left a lot of Blades fans rather happy to finally see him get the recognition that he deserves after playing his part in the Blades’ fantastic season so far.
Bashambauer is amazing.
Jack O’Connell beats Tyrone Mings in every department but is overlooked because he wasn’t bought for tens of millions.
John Egan is one of the best CBs in the league.The key to Sheffield United being on the cusp of champions league qualification.

If Basham weren't 31 he'd be talked about a lot more been consistent for the last few years and been one of our best players this season

Surely we can't call them centre backs anymore?
Or even box to box defenders 🤔😂

I wonder if we can expect any more Blades to appear in this series?
