“Games coming thick and fast at the moments another tough test against a Sheff Utd who are flying at the moment having just beaten Blackburn 2-0 away Saturday and winning-seven of the last ten games.
However Bristol City are in fine form them selves unbeaten in the last 8 games.
This should be a cracker with two sides in fine form.
I am going for a Bristol City win
Sheff Utd will bring another sold out away end and under the lights a good atmosphere is expected.
Bristol City are a tough nut to crack at present and that is a feather in the cap of Liam Manning and Chris’s Hogg.
Long may that continue.”
“Tough game, but I think we’ll rise to the occasion and win”
“Many posters were predicting a defeat against Leeds but City kept them out and the Blades aren’t anywhere near as polished as Leeds are.
We’re on a decent run of 8 undefeated and on the back of a 1-3 away win at Deepdale the squad will be full of confidence
I quite fancy a narrow 1-0 win.”
“We might just sneak this one.”
“If we win it would be a marker, but the injuries, the regularly having to rotate.. with a mostly fully fit squad I’d fancy us tomorrow but.”
“I reckon low scoring draw.”
“I’m guessing we will go for the Leeds game plan. Just try to stop them playing and take a draw.”
“Pretty impressive that they have only let in 6 goals in the league this year. Could be another battling 0-0 on the cards ?”
“Not expecting a lot of goals, Sheff Utd have scored less than us, but good defensively. 0-0 all over it.”
“Would take a point now….I think they have (on paper) the best squad in the league”
“Their squad is very, very good. Think they nailed recruitment in the summer tbh. Will be a big test.”
“Personally think this will be our toughest test yet, more so than Leeds.”
“If we can replicate the first 30 minutes of the Leeds game, we can give them a stern test. They will let us play in front of them, more so than Leeds. As people have said, their defence is very solid. Also think their midfield 2 of Arblaster and Vini Souza are outstanding. Having said that they have had a couple of stumbles recently and are beatable. Think one goal either way settles it – hoping a moment of magic from Yu decides it in our favor.”
“In terms of approach to the game, and I keep saying it, we need to take the game to Sheffield. First half hour against Leeds we caused them massive headaches. Hardly got a foothold into the game after we went more cautious. Saturday we were fortunate, and arguably undeserving leaders at half time. After conceding the goal (45-60 again) we took the game to Preston and they couldn’t cope with us. As good a second half performance as you’ll see.”
“As for Sheffield United, famous last words but they don’t strike me as being as good as Leeds. We will have more of the ball and more chances than we did post McCrorie injury especially than we did in the Leeds game, but they can break on us and do have their share of strong, technical players. Not sure what to make of them, they have ditched their back 3 synonymous with Wilder first time round, overlapping centre backs etc.”
“We’ve started to play proper football with confidence and stick it up the opposition. Leeds couldn’t cope with us until McCrorie went off, and Sheffield will come down here and attack, so it’ll probably come down to who can take their chances. We won’t fear losing, even if we get a hiding, we’ve seen the light and we’ll move onto the next game. Stick it up’em and whatever happens, they’ll get clapped off.”
“Maybe , just maybe, they will have half an eye on their Sunday derby with Wednesday, on Tuesday, and we can capitalise on that ? “
“We need to pay them back for their last promotion season, when they stole the game at Ashton Gate.
I’m still bemused as to how they managed automatic promotion.”
“Had a quick look through their forum and seem to have found a set of fans that generally and genuinely DO PREFER THE BLUE QUARTER OF BRISTOL to us for some reason. I suppose a broken clock is right twice a day. Let’s hope we batter them!!”
“I had no idea that Sheff U were allied to the Gas.
If true then I suspect would be because Rovers won’t have met them for years and therefore haven’t hurt them, whereas we have. “
“2 league meetings in the last 36 years, they haven’t lost to Rovers in 41 years.
Both clubs forever living in their neighbours shadows, no wonder they get on.
Very cute.”
“I effin detest Sheffield United and Chris Wilder.”
“Now that Wilder is only a Championship,and not Premier manager,is it ok if the linesman eats a sandwich in his presence?”
“Can anyone remember us beating them 2-1 up there around 2017 when they had battered us all game. Wilder had sour grapes after that game.”
“Yeah it was hilarious…I’ve never seen a set of supporters crying so badly on Social Media after a game. Think they hit the woodwork about 6 times.”
“I went to Sheffield a few years back stumbled on a social club , 4 of us walk in absolutely full of Utd fans and ( not the sort you would think would be friendly) but once we opened the door basically had to go and get a pint put it this way the rear end was twitching within 10 mins we had spoke to most of them tbf they were as good as gold – did get bored of the ooo rrrr after a while though”
