“Personally, I think we’ll beat Sheffield Utd on Friday. They won’t sit back and defend like WBA did tonight so we’ll score one or two while our cast iron defence will keep them at bay. “
“My dislike for Wilder consumes me.
Essentially, we are playing a team built for the Championship with zero thought on progression. Lose and Wolder is ‘justified’ and will be as smug as they come.
Win, we win and football wins. Well, football with hope.”
“We’re gonna turn them over on their own patch. Then eat sandwiches in front of Chris Wilder.”
“We have absolutely nothing to be afraid of, we are more than capable of beating anyone in this division. We’ve drawn our last 5 and they are still only 2 points ahead of us..”
“Aye because they started on -2”
“Nothing to fear as the standard is poor in this league”
“We will have moments for sure in this game, can we be clinics at both ends and get a result. We shall see. We’ve also not been behind in a game for a long time I’d that happens how will the lads cope. I also suspect we’ll be making a lot of changes again for this game the lack of continuity can’t be helping.”
“We’ve only been behind in three games, losing two and drawing one. A total of around 1 hour being being behind. We’ve conceded the first goal of the game only once, Watford away.”
“Nothing to be afraid of in this league, and we’re definitely better against teams who actually try to beat us.”
“At least Sheffield will be trying to win the game, might open up more space for us to exploit”
“They will be on the front foot and won’t try and stifle the lads which is what the last few opponents have done to their credit”
“Although they are better than the teams we have played recently, it will suit us that they won’t sit in and we can get Isidor in behind. The only problem is, if we take the lead we will go back into our shell until they equalize.”
“Isidor will feast by breaking their backline. I have a feeling we’ll get a few decent chances with Isidor played in behind.”
“They have beaten no one of any worth at home. All their wins are against teams I would expect them to beat, and a couple of them they scraped 1-0. As tge hallmarks of a good game and I think playing them may well suit us, they’re not going to be a team that sits in.. We are due another good run, just a matter of time.”
“Perhaps Friday will suit us more given they’ll come at us – mind – they do look a very good side!”
“We definitely could win, we have been competitive in every game this season. Our performances vs Luton, Derby and Hull weren’t so different than vs Millwall, WBA and Coventry, it’s just the results getting everyone a bit miserable.
We aren’t a super team, but we are one of the better teams.”
“they’ll happily take a draw. A stalemate a good result for both teams.”
“This is the big test, I will be happy with a 6th draw on the bounce (is that a record?)”
“I think they are the best team in the league and we are dropping off. We’ll be lucky with a point and I would take it now.”
“Can’t see anything other than a defeat to be honest
They’ll dominate the game and we’ve lost our main counter attacking threat in Mundle
The midfield will be lucky to get a kick”
“I haven’t seen anything over the last six weeks to suggest we have much for them to be honest.
They’ll absolutely piss the league they’re a really strong side”
“They’ve looked very tidy from the snippets I’ve seen this season mind, as they should having just came back down. Some quick passing moves, Hamer and O’hare both quality playmakers for this level imo too
Could be wrong but think one of their main CBs is out suspended so that’s canny, lad gave us all kinds of trouble under Mowbray with his runs forward”
“Rak Sakyi will be a problem”
“there is nothing to be scared of, unfortunately we have lost the knack of picking up wins and it’s always a tough place to go.
I think the run of draws will be broken on Friday but not the way we would like”
“Think we’ll get stuffed personally”
“They seem to be our bogey team , like Coventry”
“The current top 6 will be the top 6 at the end of the season IMHO. Not necessarily in that order but I do think that at least Leeds or Sheffield utd will take 1 of the top 2 places. Sunderland boro Burnley Leeds Sheffield utd will definitely be 5 of the 6.”
“I’m not convinced we are a shoe in for them like. I do think we will end up in them but think it’ll be a fight between us,WBA, Cov, Luton, Norwich and Watford for the last spots. Top 4 will be Leeds, Sheff Utd, Burnley and Boro IMO”
“Some of our players are dead on their feet at the minute and it’s only going to get worse”
“we look jaded, are lacking a plan B, we’ve been playing players oddly out of position, there’s a lot to worry about if people genuinely believe this season is a real chance to go up.”
Mackems?…Just Geordies with an inferiority complex.
🤣🤣🤣 some real clowns amongst this lot think there Newcastle
Very mixed views from the Sunderland fans. It will be a close game that could go either way. I only hope it proves entertaining. A loss for either side will not do lasting damage.
I agree that both teams should be in the top 6. However, for me, Leeds are nailed on for top position.
The thing that never fails to amuse me is the vitriol that Chris Wilder seems to create in the minds of opposing fans – only equaled by Neil Warnock.
