“Not a bad local draw. As others have said the Blunts wont get behind it though so that will dampen the gate receipts. Might tempt a few more of them than turned up for the Cardiff game but I doubt it will be more than a third full. Around 10,000 total.”
“If we can win twice in successive seasons at Sunderland then we can win at Sheff Utd
They wear the same kit”
“It’s winnable”
“they’re not great and we’re definitely capable, with a few players back, of taking them to pens.”
“Cloughie will want to win this big time..He did a good job for them and was harshly sacked imo”
“Sheffield United fans know what Nigel can do in a cup tie, and Chris wilder has respect for him.
So nothing will be taken for granted , a local tie and a break from league football, so should be a good day out.”
“Cant see Clough taking the fa cup lightly”
“do think Clough will play his strongest team possible. They’ve had above a week off before the game and there will be another week before the next match. If he rests players, they will go at least 16 days between games which he won’t want to do. If players are fit, they will play.”
“fully expect our strongest X1 and 4600 as the twelfth man. Let’s take the game to them”
“Could easily have more away fans than home.”
“Really difficult to predict this one but my head says if Utd put out a strong side we will be out.”
“i don’t think either side will play its first 11”
“They don’t have much to play for in the league so a cup run is something for them to target. Difficult to see us progressing any further”
“From our perspective it’s a terrible draw, they’ll be no home fans, they’ll batter us and that’s about it.
Good day out for the fans, would’ve preferred them at home though.”
“Chris Wilder has turned them around and they’re scoring goals for fun. If he keeps that going their fans will turn out simply to carry on the momentum so hopefully will be a cracking tie”
“a shame the legendary Mr Wilder is turning them around.”
“I guess there will be 25000 in , they are well supported”
“good ground with atmosphere”
“I’ve always quite like Chris wilder. I wonder if Clough will make an enquiry about any of their squad players. Jamie Shackleton could do with a bit of game time. We could provide that!”
“Not been to Rammle Lane in ages”
“Nice opportunity to visit the 2nd oldest ground in the football league”
“So… Who do we fancy in Round 4?”
“Remember 1988 both cup games. Away in the replay we got battered and were 2 nil down. Scored late think from ex sheff utd Kenworthy ? and then laid seige for 5 or so minutes and nearly got a draw.”
