As the Blades head into the final day of the season, Sam, David and Riley pick out some key performances from the past three games and agree on the team they don't want to face in the play-offs.

A horrible run of three defeats on the bounce has put the Blades at the back of the queue for the automatic spots – David Taylor, Sam Parry and Riley Roberts pull it apart with one eye on leadership.

Sam, David and Riley cast their eye over one of the youngest squads in the Championship, zooming in on four players - as is Formline tradition - Seriki, Peck, Brooks and Cannon. There's also a bit of time to assess the Coventry game, and the elephant in the room, Riley's harsh ratings.
