“Hope ‘Pool are a bit more threatening up top than they were at Forest. No reason at all why we can’t get a positive result with more quality and attacking intent. Billy Sharp usually scores against us, so I take him to do it again. My head says a draw but my heart says a win.”
“Extremely difficult game. Will be happy with a point”
“Sheffield United will be an extremely tough game but I wouldn’t be surprised if we got something.”
“Sheffield United will be a much tougher nut to crack than the lily shites.”
“Quite a few supporters are probably still on a high after Saturday’s heroics. If the team
take that feeling into the game on Saturday, they’ll be be two down before they know it.
It’s gone, if not forgotten ! Pool are 5/1 to win at Bramall Lane. They usually are when they play away because of course they’re “ only Blackpool”. We have to hope that the opposition think the same. Pool are ruffling a few feathers on their travels, and if they go in with their usual hard nosed attitude, they may prosper. NC tends to pick horses. for courses, so expect changes. I reckon he’ll take Gazza out of the starting XI and pack the midfield. There is no sentiment in professional sport.”
“2nd in the form table over the last 9 games yet 5/1 most places to pick up 3 points on Saturday. That’s mighty big odds”
“It’s the classic sheff utd former premier League (must be good) v newly promoted little Blackpool (must be rubbish) …we continue to be underestimated and considering we’re above them in the league and in great form I’d say we’re a bet at that price.”
“Sheffield United are a big name but are struggling this season, we’ve had much tougher games and got something out of them.”
“I’ve always thought of Sheff U as being a big physical team. So whether the manager prefers to try and out football them or go with the physical team and the likes of Madine we’ll find out on saturday.”
“Guy at work sending me stats about them as he supports sheff Utd. Apparently one of the highest possession stats, so I’d go with a very similar team to at Reading and formation.
Let’s not let them dominate but even if they do let’s hit them on the break with our dangerous wingers.”
“Sheffield United are a passing side and not very physical according to their own supporters, so I think he will go with the same 11 that started against preston.”
“Sheffield United are good in the final third but poor defensively “
“They have lost three of their last 5 whereas we have lost only one and just scraped past Barnsley on Sunday.”
“Barnsley scored twice against Sheffield. We’ve beaten much higher teams in the table than Sheff United and Stoke and they haven’t exactly had the best form either.”
“Barnsley were double dire and Sheff Utd not much better. 5k Sheff Utd fans in 3 sided Oakwell made a bit of noise. Nothing to fear Saturday on that showing.”
“I thought they would be favourites to go back up but they are really under performing”
“I do believe that we can win on Saturday – Sheff Utd have lost 3 in the last 5. However every game in this division is difficult, “
“A victory would be more massive than Sheff Wednesday!”
