Shifting the focus to Sheffield United, Chris Wilder was asked specifically about Mark McGuinness starting thatover Tyler Bindon lately and this was what he said:
“Well, Mark got put back into the team because we felt we needed to to change the team around. I think he's been he's been really good in the couple of games that we've played. Second half at Bristol City I know it was one-way traffic but anything that he had to do from a defensive situation he did with [Japhet Tanganga] and you know it was a difficult afternoon, especially the first half up against Oli McBurnie on Saturday afternoon. He's done enough in training, good personality, good character, so he's in the team on merit. And he's under contract, yeah, for another two or three years.”
Those words don’t deny that Bindon being on loan is a factor in him being dropped... but they do emphasise that it’s not the only reason. The mention of Oli McBurnie is telling since the rugged Scottish international’s physicality for Hull City (he’s a former Sheffield Utd player too) may also have been a factor in McGuinness being preferred. The club already announced that Tom Davies is leaving the club at the end of the term so they are clearly getting on with plotting for next season and it seems like Bindon could have been collateral damage in that project. Fair enough, really. But he did get a dozen minutes off the bench as the Blades fortified their defences in a 2-0 win away against Watford. Patrick Bamford scored both goals. Bindon has played 24 games in the Championship now and that was only the second time he’s been used as a substitute.
McGuinness is an Irish international who started out in the Arsenal academy and was signed last year for a fee that could reportedly climb as high £10m so the fact that Tyler Bindon was ever starting ahead of him at all was amazing. Shows how brilliantly he was performing... and why Nottingham Forest seemingly still have him in their plans (nobody’s talking about Sheffield United signing him permanently any more).

Surely Forest wait to see if they get relegated before confirming anything. If they do, Bindon might be perfect. It doesn't mean he's not also in their plans if they stay up, but he'd surely be central to their plans if they go down (which feels less likely now that Spurs have shit the bed but is very much still possible).

Forest are also only 3 games away from playing Champions League next season. And so will need a big squad to navigate EPL or Championship plus Europe if so.
Throw in 4 different coaches and it's quite the crazy campaign.

Blades trail 0-3 at HT hosting Blackburn and gaffer Wilder ain’t happy
Starter Bindon one of 4 players dragged off at the break!
Finishes 1-3.
Blades did have nothing to play for (they will finish mid table), whilst Blackburn needed the win to 100% confirm they would avoid the drop to L1. One team motivated, the other not?

Championship plus Champions League would be a hell of a schedule.

Wood has actually played Championship and European football in the same season once before!
Wigan, Ipswich and Millwall have also done it. But I think it's been Championship with UEFA Cup or Europa League combined. Not the UCL!

In 2011, Birmingham stunned Arsenal to win the League Cup when Obafemi Martins' late goal earned the Blues their first major trophy.

Yet they were relegated from the Premier League three months later and faced the Europa League in the Championship.
The finished third in Group H, behind Club Brugge and Braga, to exit the competition despite losing just two of their six games and winning 10 points.
Their victory over Club Brugge in Belgium coming courtesy of a stoppage-time winner from current Forest striker Chris Wood.

Apologies right you are, and that makes me feel better.
He replaced McGuinness at HT, who as per the Niche Cache comments above had been starting ahead of Tyler recently.
Blades have 2 matches left, hopefully Bindon can start both to stay match sharp before the World Cup. Especially given there must be some uncertainty about Boxy now and his on going abductor strain. Boxall missing again for Minny's match today.

I believe Sheffield want to buy him and Forest want to wait and see what goes down with them. Duncan Oughton is a manager of his btw.

He wasn’t among the subs as well and not listed as injured.
I see that Forest’s centre backs are going down like flies at a very important busy time for them.
Wonder if an early release to provide cover may be on the cards.
