[LU] Sheff Utd match

Settling into my new season ticket now I'm back in the LOTG, and the Sheff Utd match was like being parachuted back 20 years to an early Wilko match in many ways. Blood, guts, long diagonal punts to gain field position in their half etc. Team selection raised an interesting poser. If you think a
