Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder faces a real test this Easter weekend with Nottingham Forest the visitor's on Good Friday, while the Blades head to the KCOM Stadium to face Hull City on Bank Holiday Monday, as they try and overhaul Leeds United and get back into the automatic promotion places.

Wilder though will have to face Forest on Friday without talisman Billy Sharp and Chris Basham who are out with injury, whilst defender John Egan is suspended having picked up a straight red-card last time out.

So how will Blades fans be feeling about the loss of this key trio?

We discuss........

Gary Hutchinson

“Worried, scared, anxious and frightened.

“There’s a few adjectives to describe how they’ll be feeling.

“For a neutral, this is the best time of the season.

“But those on the inside looking out won’t be enjoying it quite as much.”

Jacob Potter

"They’ll be gutted.

"The injuries to Sharp and Basham couldn’t have come at a worse time as the Blades were well in the hunt to win promotion automatically this season.

"I fear this could be a season-defining blow for Chris Wilder’s side."

Louie Chandler

"Deflated.

"It is at this stage of the season that you really need you talismen playing every match.

"Losing the likes of Basham and Sharp is therefore a huge blow and one that the fans will really feel."
