The Blades have been a real surprise package this season, whilst they might have hoped for a season of consolidation they've gone one better and challenged the top six.

They may still break through but even if they fall short, Chris Wilder should be incredibly proud of his side's achievements.

They've carried their momentum forward from last season and earned the right to be involved at this late stage.

However, going from League One to the top of the Championship inside twelve months is an alarming rise and one that will see some players fall by the wayside.

Those who have struggled to make an impact this season are not likely to get additional chances next time around, as Chris Wilder looks to bring new faces who add value to his current squad.

Contract or no contract, there are three players who look to us as if they're in last chance saloon at Bramall Lane, and the barman has just called time.

Here are FLW's three players Sheffield United must move on if they're to usher in the new era.

Was Heneghan a panic buy? You have to wonder when a player signs on deadline day but then fails to make a league appearance.

The 24-year old may have signed a three-year deal but he looks unlikely to break through and surely his career lies elsewhere in the Football League.

Having played at Motherwell he's not short of experience, but there's a big gulf between the Championship and the bottom half of the Scottish premier Division, as Heneghan has found out.

Come in Ched Evans, you've proved your point.

The move back to Bramall Lane doesn't seem to have been about anything more than redemption for Evans. He was a decent footballer before the controversy, but he's looked increasingly out of his depth on his second Blades spell.

Chris Wilder should cut him loose sooner rather than later as he's nothing more than a hark back to a different time.

The 30-year old Bradford legend signed for the Blades with big hopes for the future, but all he ended up with was a failed loan spell at Bury.

He isn't Championship quality and his best option this summer would be a move back to Bradford, or another League One or League Two side who need a journeyman centre forward with his best years behind him.
