“They got their first win yesterday away at Oxford so could now spark a bit of a revival under Wilder. Sounds like they’re OK-ish at the back but a bit lightweight up front. Cue Danny Ings returns from…surprise, surprise…injury (was said to be close for Saturday’s match) on Tuesday night.
Looks like a lot travelling up, we took the full allocation of 2,700, assume it’s now sold out as tickets have been unavailable for a few days unless we sent some back. Was mostly sold a week ago so guess it’s a sell-out.
Team has got to be same again so no repeat of Hull away, time to start putting away our chances.”
“Please bro make it happen, sacrifice a goat, make a vodoo doll of chris wilder, just make 3 pts happen.”
“I’m expecting 3 points from this.”
“Solid win coming up. Bed wetters cease wetting. Panic over.”
“One good thing with the Championship is the games are more frequent – not if you are playing crap every game but I suppose it gives you a chance to build on momentum and to keep good form going. Let’s hope Saturday was momentum and we build on it.
I’ll be optimistic until we let a stupid goal in around the 60th minute.
It’d be nice to score early on – or even go 2-0 up in the first half. It’s been a while….”
“I just want another performance as good as Saturday first half. Would take a draw.”
“1 win in 8 would see a gap starting to open. Simply has to be a win for me”
“This is the problem with only taking one point from Stoke, Watford and Hull. When the tougher games comes along against the likes of Boro and Sheff Utd, the pressure to win is greater.”
“This is must win for me. Draw or lose and its one win from eight which would be completely unacceptable given our team and budget.”
“Crucial 6 pointer ( the 1st of 2 this week)
win and we can pull way from the bottom 3 lose and we will be right in the relegation mix .
Very glad they won yesterday otherwise it would have been banker they’d have got it Tuesday.
Tough game I’d probably keep the same side, hopefully get at least a draw. “
“It’s a game we need to win if we want to get back in touch with the top six.
But it is not a six pointer. We are not in a relegation battle at this stage of the season.”
“If we don’t win this then I think fans will start getting pissed off with Still. Nothing less than 3 points.”
“Funny side Sheffield United, came very very close to promotion in the play off final just a few months ago, Selles experiment was a disaster, I only watched on of their games where they were a bit unlucky to lose to Middlesbrough and didn’t look bad but they must have been worse in other games.
Got a few good players, O’Hare, Hamer and Campbell particularly”
“We needed to play this lot when Selles was there.”
“Had they not bought wilder back this would have 3 points all over it.
Hoping he’s had the “new” (???) manager bounce this weekend but the team weren’t crap when they got rid of him in June and they’ve not changed much in the last 3-4 months so hard to read this as it shouldn’t take him long to undo Selles’ input.”
“We ain’t good away from home and I fear we will struggle under the floodlights”
“the clash of teams who should probably both be higher in the table. Sadly, the Blades replaced boggle-eyed Ruben Selles with a man carved from the cold heart of a grizzly bear just in time for this game.
Here’s a short poem about the match, as is tradition.
Can still be sparkling?
Blades
Should be dull if carried
Sharp
Played for both.
The end.”
