Blades Borrow Boulding

Blades manager Neil Warnock has persuaded Villa counterpart Graham Taylor to allow the winger to remain in South Yorkshire for a second month, after impressing during his initial one-month spell.

Boulding was set to return to Villa Park after his loan deal ended after Saturday's draw against Wimbledon, but he is now eligible for Wednesday's clash with Derby County.

The 26-year-old joined Villa on a free transfer from Grimsby in the summer but has failed to make a breakthrough under Taylor despite the Midlanders disappointing start to the Premiership campaign.

However Boulding has flourished at Bramall Lane and been a key part of the Blades impressive run of form.
