“We’ve now beaten Sheff U and Leeds away without conceding a goal”
“Well that turned out to be far more comfortable than I expected pected which actually shows how good we are. Make no mistake this was a huge marker of the progress – we just fairly routinely brushed aside the top of the league -“
“we just dominated them all over the park”
“Ourselves, Sheffield United and Leeds are the three best sides in the league – and by some distance ultimately. I’d even say it’s us and Leeds with Sheffield United behind after today, we made them look extremely average.”
” Sheffield United look nothing like a top 2 side.”
“Sheffield United have looked really poor, but maybe that’s because we’ve been excellent defensively and without the ball. Whatever the reason, I think there are no stand out teams in the Championship this season”
“Weve gone away from home to top of the league woth a phenomenal home record (attack & defence) and completely controlled the game with a fully proffesional performance as good as ive seen in a match of that standing under all our previous successful managers”
” The midfield nullified any threat that Sheff U offered so the had to resort to set pieces and free kicks which we dealt with collectively very well”
“Wilder was right. “There was nothing in the game”, 2 for us and nothing for them. Their team wasn’t interested in trying to win. I fully expected a battle of the Roses, but Utd hadn’t the heart for a battle. Bad day for the Uniteds today, both 2-0 losers.”
“I think he was at a different ground to everyone else. Even the Sheff Utd fans disagree with him in the comments.”
“Surprisingly, for their position, Sheff Utd are about 16th in the league for shots. They really don’t have many but seem to score the ones they do have.”
“Trafford was well protected by the defence and wasn`t subjected to a lot of the physicality that Sheff U are known for but looked a very capable keeper”
“Souttar will be a big loss for Sheff United with what looks like a bad injury”
“Hope it’s not serious.”
“I also hope the injury to Souttar isn’t serious. Good old fashioned proper defender him.”
“His extra height is now missing at the middle of Sheff Utd’s defence so very much a new problem for them”
“Souttar is a donkey a big lump who is at best a lower league defender.”
“Typical Blade thug.”
“They also lost Souza to injury today.
Hard on them but they don’t have a very strong squad so now we’re hitting the part of the season where injuries kick in, I expect we’ll see that.
Wilder will need to work overtime to get some signings in over January.”
“With new owners I imagine they’ll chuck a few quid at it in January.”
“Apparently 50 mill is their budget in Jan”
“Sheff Utd have one of the worst shot per game averages in the divison. They have to rely on scoring the few chances they create. It also looks like their best defender might be out a while as well. They do have £50m to spend in Jan but I doubt that will buy much at today’s prices.”
“You’d think Sheffield United and Burnley fans would hate each other after the amount of direct competition we’ve been involved in over the last decade but I really don’t mind them at all”
“If it was my choice it would be us and Sheffield United as 1 and 2. Always had a soft spot for the Blades.”
“Very home biased ref 1st half and probably gave us slightly more 2nd half.”
“Lot of Sheffield United fans saying he was biased towards us.
Can only assume they were watching at home through 48hour hangovers.”
