12th March 2011- Championship, Watford 3 Sheffield United 0 Leave a Reply Relegation-threatened Sheffield United were reduced to nine men inside 34 minutes as they were beaten at Watford. Interpretation of the result will be distorted by the perspective introduced by two red cards in the first half (see below), but it shouldn’t be.

Having rightly come under considerable fire in his early days, the manager has done a remarkable job of steering the ship away from the rocks since dropping his hardline allegiance to possession football. Bolstered by some extremely timely signings – Mike Williamson and Jack Cork particularly, but Don Cowie too – and aided by a transformation in the likes of Jobi McAnuff and Tamas Priskin, he’s managed to create a perfectly functional, thoroughly mid-table Second Division outfit. And a team that’s suddenly quite easy to like again, that seems comfortable with itself again. As ambition goes, that ain’t Aidy Boothroyd.
