“Sheffield United splashing the cash again, so boring having the same clubs going up and down every season. Parachute payments really are a joke, gives teams like Sheffield United and Burnley a huge advantage!”
“Sheffield Utd are collecting players which, in my view, is as bad as not having enough. Too many players lose both heart and interest and the continuous change in the 11 never get to gell as one team.”
“Bloody hell they are doing what Stoke did last season. I hope it turns out the same for them the greedy swines.”
“it takes time for players to gell, especially if they haven’t had a preseason together. It wouldn’t shock me if they have a slower start than expected as a consequence.
The difference IMO is that Stoke weren’t bringing in the quality of player that Sheffield United are. Players like Moore who are very experienced at the top end of the Championship and players like Burrows who have a lot of potential. Stoke while bringing in a lot, from memory didn’t spend a lot of money on transfers and brought in some average players at this level.”
“Sheffield United don’t have a big squad at all at the minute – Had 10 players in their squad v Huddersfield that would be classed as under-21’s/reserves so they don’t really have much depth at all. Selling Osula to Newcastle for £15m plus add-ons which will fund more moves”
“They have a silly side for the Championship.”
“Looking at that Sheff Utd side, it’s O’Hare & Brooks who concern me, skill and movement.
Hamer is a baller at this level too and that Arblaster is a potential England player.
Pretty easy to guess that we’ll set up to concede possession, press in spurts, and just focus on containing them.
It’s obviously a tactic that earned us points at the start of last season, but if we go 1 down early, you wouldn’t back us to turn it around.
Riis has to play for me, purely for some pace on the counter and a potential goal from nothing. A good performance from him and I wouldn’t be surprised if Wilder tried to sign him again.”
“If Sheffield United do not beat us on Friday, then they deserve to go down .it will be the easiest 3 points they will get all season .we have s keeper who can not catch a cold. We play a system that needs wingbacks but don’t have any .we have strikers who can’t score goals”
“We’re gonna get pumped”
“We are going to get absolutely hammered. The Sheff U squad is a who’s who of top performers in the last 3 years”
“Whatever team we choose isn’t really a Championship level team is it? So many gaps in quality.”
“The lack of width and speed is worrying. We have lost our only player who can ‘carry the ball’ and beat a man.”
“Our keeper isnt League 1 ,far too kind he is pub league standard”
“I’m starting to wonder how effective pumping balls up to Will Keane as a lone striker against Souttar and Ahmedhodzic will be.”
“Souttar is very good at what he does. He has weaknesses but none that we are geared up to exploit. Playing against a lone striker in Keane is absolutely his dream. “
“The one plus for us is that they are still a bit of a mess. We might be catching them at a good time…”
“The problem is we will sit off them (Ryan lowe’s words.) This is a team who conceded over 100 goals last season and wing back’s aside haven’t really added to the defence. Their keeper and centre backs aren’t great.
We should be getting at these from the off. They may still be suffering a hangover from last season. But instead we will sit off them – moore will score in the first 20 minutes and that will be that. 2-0 at half time and that is always ‘game over’ according to Lowe.”
“Defensively, Ahmedhodzic and Trusty are very good and Hamer is a top player at this level. But outside of that, they’ve not really got a great deal else.
Their forward options are particularly poor. Kieffer Moore obviously excellent, but no real wingers and Rhian Brewster as a second option.”
“I agree about Wilder being overrated, he’s living on short term success a few years ago and is very unlikeable – his how dare a referee disrespect a premier league manager like me rant summed him up. Like most teams relegated the previous season, they’ve had to extensively rebuild and playing them early on can be the best time to play them.
I do still think they’ll have too much for us.”
“The way people are going on about Sheff Utd, you’d be forgiven for thinking we were about to play a prime Real Madrid.
I personally think that Wilder is a poor manager and he won’t see the season out.”
“O’Hare is the exact type of player we struggle with.
They’ll likely have Souttar and Gilchrist as options by Friday too.
World beaters? nope. Top 6 contenders and have much better options than us? definitely.”
lol..weve hardly spent owt. mostly loans at freebies. our gk not brill but hopefully new one soon..wilder isnt great but knows what hes doing ..homegrown..preston never been in prem says it all..my hubbys pne fan lol

Are the Preston fans living in a time warp, they really do need to try and keep up with the rest of us. UTB
Just shows how other fans think we’re made of money we’ve not gone mad we’ve hardly spent owt , other teams hating us cos we have parachute payments ffs , something bang average teams like PNE will never experience, we should be get something from this game but if we don’t it’s not the end of the world, priority is Cooper from Plymouth and maybe a striker in Tom Cannon on loan from Leicester!.
