“Tough one this. Our away form pretty grim, their home form not bad, though not so good last 2 games”
“Suppose the good news is we have Sargent back. Other than that.. Not really looking forward to this or the next Leeds match”
“Arguably the most difficult two games of the season coming up – Sheff Utd away, then on to Leeds away, just four days later.
What do we think? Possible to win either/both these games, or play for clean sheets?
I always try to be optimistic, but admit to be struggling with this sequence of games. Anything would be a bonus at this stage, but being a work in progress, we really need to up our game if we want to get anything against these two teams in their own stadiums….”
“Obviously hope I’m wrong, but i think we’ll struggle to get anything from these games. Might be a tough watch. “
“Nil points, as they say in Eurovision Land”
“I’d take 2 0-0 draws now, but I can’t see past at least 3 goal beatings in both”
“We will have our weakest midfield options of the season unless we do something miraculous in the transfer market. Two heavy defeats incoming I’m afraid.”
“we still give away really soft goals so will be difficult without Sainz, probably Nunez and even the improving Forson.”
“Defeats nailed on, given the team we might put out. However a performance in both would be progress. And some of the naysayers to be shut up, doubt it will.”
“Leeds have dropped points 11 times this season, Sheffield United 10 times. So you’d like to think we could get a point in at least one of them….”
“Pressure will be on Sheff U and Leeds, so becomes a free hit. We have seen that City can hurt any team in the league on their day, so always a chance.”
“Why so much negativity? Leeds will probably be a loss but I fancy us to get something from sheff utd, on our day we can play them off the park and we all know how much wilder and the locals up there love us…”
“Sheff U I hope we can put a good performance in and maybe get something from the game, will perhaps be down to if Sargent is fit enough to make an appearance or not”
“on our day I think we are capable of beating anyone so I’m going to do my best to manifest two narrow away wins!!”
“If Sarge only gets 20-30 mins he will have an affect on the game. We’re so much different with him up top.
Really looking forward to this and the Leeds game, despite lacking certain players it’ll be a good indicator on how we stack up in regards to our general ability.
Under Wagner we looked a way off rom Leeds in that final match last season. I’m really enjoying how much more technical we are as a squad, and it’s more apparent when playing the bigger sides who aren’t going to camp in against us.”
“Watched quite a lot of the Sheffield Utd v Cardiff City match, out of interest in seeing something of our next opponents.
I noticed that Sam McCallum still hasn’t learnt to do anything but stroll back after losing the ball way upfield. In stark contrast to Jack Stacey.”
“Watched the Sheffield/Cardiff game and saw Sam McCallum starting… Yep, still shite!”
“Don’t @ me but for my sins I went to the Sheff Utd v Cardiff game to have a go at scouting for next weekend. And what a waste of time that proved to be, especially given the treacherous conditions underfoot on the way to the ground (I live only a mile away) and the fact 80% of their regulars couldn’t be arsed to go due to the weather, the day, the early kick off and it being on Sky! Utd fielded near enough a completely different second string and Wilder showed absolutely no interest in putting on his first teamers who were on the bench despite only being 1 down. He was happy just to get through the game, the players he put on the pitch seemed to have caught that ennui. He only showed any emotion when Norrington Davy came off injured. Due to the small crowd you could hear his focus was on encouraging the very youngest of the players, absolutely no focus on set-up or tactics from him.
Totally agree about McCallum, strolled back after the briefest of brief excursions up front. Such a frustrating player, he has something but never seems to want to show it. “
“Sheff Utd have the worst shirt sponsor in the league”
