2004–05 Sheffield United F.C. season

March 2015 March 2015 Sheffield United 2004–05 Neil Warnock Derek Dooley Bramall Lane Football League Championship 8th FA Cup Fifth round League Cup Third round Gray (15) Gray (18) 27,595 (vs. Arsenal, 1 March) 5,399 (vs. Stockport County, 24 August) 19,594 2003–04 2005–06 During the 2004–05 English football season, Sheffield United competed in the Football League Championship. Season summary In 2004–05 season, Warnock once again brought in a host of new faces with the pick being arguably the signings of former Sheffield Wednesday players Bromby, Quinn and Geary. The Blades again flirted around the play-offs places but some inconsistent performances, which included only winning 5 of their last 20 Championship games, saw the club again fall just short of the top six.
