“Would be remiss not mention the tragic events that unfolded earlier this week.
The sad death of George Baldock who played for our opponents for 7 years.
Only 31, shows how fragile it all is, he played a match in Greece on the Sunday, was found on the Wednesday.
Very sad, a clip from a radio show popped up on my twitter feed, turns out a young boy needed a defibrillator, he had a heart issue. So the club invited him down, meet the players sort of thing I guess (during covid this was). And Baldock just said he’d buy it, no publicity, nothing to do with the club, his own money.
Nice guy and hopefully some form of tribute is organised for Friday”

“Very sad re George Baldock. First game for the blades since. They will be well up for this more than ever now, just like Greece were v England. I can’t see us winning this one…..sorry”

“from memory we don’t seem to do well against the blades and my pessimistic side sees a narrow defeat”

“Win for Sheffield with there -2 points back they would be 8 points in front of fraud farke”

“The EFL will always try & set it up for Leeds to fail. They’ve got their Cash Cow back. Pity the Leeds fans that populate Social Media & YouTube can’t look past Farke for reasons why poor results come along”

“Its an absolute disgrace from sky and also from the efl who should have mandated no Friday night games following an international week. Corrupt as usual”

“The fact we are playing on a Friday night while all these players fly around the world is mental. It shouldn’t be allowed. Gives us a massive disadvantage. Down to bare bones… We should never be in this position it’s negligence from the owners.”

“Significant disadvantage a lot of our players playing the other side of the world , with little or no recovery time ! Sheff United won’t be impacted in the same way , only 5 of their players away , & probably all back allready”

“if I was a neutral i’d be snapping the bookies hands off at 16/5 odds for Sheff United to beat us. 6 of our first team playing today/tonight and not returning till tomorrow morning when we play them on Friday, not to mention that we’re notorious bottlejobs”

“Yeah we are getting battered Friday”

“Would anyone take a point against Sheffield United?
Can’t see anyway we win this, so a point would be ok”

“Would happily take point on Friday and move on to Tuesday against Watford when hopefully our late international returnees have had some decent kip.

4 points from the two home games would be more than acceptable in the circumstances we find ourselves in.”

“we’ll beat sheffield then drop points to watford, still 4 points like.”

“Don’t worry about Sheff U, they haven’t played anyone decent yet”

“Great news that Dan James & Solomon are fit to return as it gives us real options for those front four positions.”

“Let’s get these no marks beat !”

“Seems Blunts don’t have lots of the ball but are quite direct and aggressive.

Press high out of possession and put in lots of tackles, get the ball forward quickly, quite happy to go long.
Opposite to us actually in some ways.
We never go long really, we don’t go forward quickly that much.
Interesting clash of styles.
Whilst they should have conceded more than they have probably they shouldn’t have conceded much so for a team that doesn’t have much of the ball they must be quite organised out of possession and in how they win the ball back.
They could be ideal for us if we beat the press, or they could be a nightmare sitting deep whilst we ehave 70% of meaningless possession then smack us on the break a few times and score 2 or 3 goals.”

“We need to make sure we protect the edge of the box as Hamer will be more clinical than Jobe was. That could be the difference in a couple of weeks.”

“wilder will target Meisler! Wilders sheff U side will be physical and they’ll just bully Mes.. we won’t get anything g if he starts”

“Wilder looks a lot like dropped pie”
