“Sheffield United are on the up after a dodgy start and a “change” in management.. whereas we are on the slippery slopes and teetering too close to the edge. I can’t see us pulling off a Christmas miracle unless we somehow get 1 of our best 2 wing backs fit and ready. Hopefully jolly old Saint Nick has a plan for us and reaches deep into his sack to give us some much needed points.
Please let Santa be real…
If not, it’s a 2-0 loss.”
“Another game where only one result seems likely. They’ve picked up and looking strong, whilst we are looking very toothless.”
“Sheffield United seem to have turned a corner, can’t see anything other than a defeat.”
“Sheff Utd will smell blood”
“There going to look for set pieces and put Arthur under pressure after that howler on Fri”
“Given the players Sheff U have and how they put us to the sword last year, I struggle to see how we get the win.”
“A win would be great love to stuff it up em
but I predict
1-3 loss
Playing these at the wrong time”
“Can only see us getting a draw at best. SU have turned the corner and are on a good run of form at the moment. Unless we score and take the lead in the 96th minute its difficult to see us taking the lead in a match and holding it to get three points.”
“With the Blades having 4 wins in the last 6 outings I can only hope we can raise our game. I do hope as PD suggests Parky gets out those videos and gets some inspiration. I was, back in that era,a proud travelling red and never did we have to put up with the regular negative tactics we are witnessing at the moment. If something isn’t working it needs changing. We are in danger of getting into a relegation battle.”
“I would rather lose having a go and getting at Sheffield U than losing after watching 75% of the game in the our own half and defending to try and get a point, no more of this style please Parky it’s just taking all the enjoyment out of the game.”
“Given the talent Sheff U have (ignoring their start) I can see him setting up like it’s an away match.”
“We have unfortunately been setting up as if we are a L2 team trying to nick an FA Cup match against a championship side. If we do that again it’s going to be difficult to see us getting a W. A draw, maybe, but most likely a loss or a draw”
“Watched some of the Sheffield United game on Saturday, they are right back on it which is great timing for us!
It was a pleasure to watch a team intent on attacking, and if momentum extends to Boxing Day, I can’t see anything but an away win.
Hopefully, Parky and the team will have had stockings full of courage and the will to win.
Go on lads, show us what you’ve got and bloody go for it!”
“I watched their last game and couldn’t believe how poor Birmingham were .There was little man marking by Birmingham who looked lost with little effort .Sheffield played well but were allowed to IMO.”
“I think we play better as underdogs. People will be writing us off and expecting another loss but I reckon we’ll bounce back on this one.”
“I’ve got a feeling we’ll bounce back after the Abertawe gloom which might have affected the players as much as it did me.
They could just be fired up for this one with Blades maybe too ****y after hammering Brum”
“Sheff Utd away are beatable. Sheaf, Hyam and Doyle know what to expect with Hamer and OHare. Sheaf or Rathbone to man mark Gus Hamer for 60 mins and keep Callum O’Hare quiet and a win is very much on. Their defence is vulnerable under pressure.”
“Type of game we’d bounce back in I think, the atmosphere will be electric.”
“Atmosphere will be bouncing”
“We’ll beat them on and off the pitch.”
