Hulse explains Blades exit

Striker Rob Hulse has admitted that the time was right to leave Sheffield United, following his move to Derby County.
The 29-year-old has joined the Rams for £1.75million, having struggled to make his mark during two seasons at Bramall Lane.
He told the Sheffield Star: "It was time to move on.
"Kevin Blackwell said that he wouldn't stand in the way if a club came in and that I wasn't perhaps one of his first-choice strikers.
"That's fair enough, that happens sometimes in football.
"It was a case of Derby coming in and I jumped at the chance because I just wanted to get things going again."
The Blades are now expected to target Watford's Darius Henderson as a direct replacement for Hulse.
