“We need ensure we don’t lose this game, Sheffield United are an exceptionally poor side at the moment.They have the most losses of any Championship side this season and the fewest goals scored. Second worse goal difference, one of three sides to have conceded 20 plus goals this season.
Wilder has had 7 games now, lost four of them. Albeit wins against Oxford, Watford and Blackburn. It might come together for them at some point but they’re really bad at the moment.”
“Early days with a ‘new look’ squad evolving tactically – after our ‘Stevenage’ moment last Saturday at Oxford ..we’re building belief, confidence and clean sheets”
“One of the main reasons why Sheff Utd are languishing near the bottom is the sheer turnover they’ve had at the back. Even though they ended up with some solid players such as Ben Mee and Tanganga they don’t seem very stable at the moment. The goals they’ve conceded against PNE showed that. Play Ward and get balls into the box for the front 3 to give them problems.”
“Draw would be a fine result tbh. They’re in a false position with the quality they have and the new (old?) manager will be getting his ideas across more and more”
“I think it’s going to be a far tougher game than some may think and United aren’t quite as bad as the league table suggests.
They had an exceptionally bad start to the season (losing all of their first six games) and whilst still not storming up the table, they have won three of their next six.
I think we’re playing them at nearly the wrong time (in another three or four weeks might be the worst time). I of course hope we win, but a draw would be a decent result.”
“I don’t get the “take a point” brigade. Three wins on the bounce brings massive confidence and really starts us looking up the table. We’re a quarter of the way through the season already. To make an impression we have to make a move soon.”
“I think that Sheffield are now a better side than their position”
“Poor form or not Sheff are a side stacked with quality, a good manager for the level and I can’t remember the last time we got anything at Bramall Lane.”
“Do we ever win there?”
“lost last 5 visits to Brammal Lane
Derby’s last win there was in 2011, thanks to a Theo Robinson goal in a 1-0 win
Due a result at Brammal Lane, hopefully this Saturday will be the turning point!”
“This changes Saturday!!!”
“Sheffield is a great city,”
“any derby fan mocking Sheffield Wednesday on Sat is weird, we know what it’s like don’t get why we have to go to their levels just because some of them are inbred “
“Anyone sympathising with Sheff Wednesday is woke”
