Sheffield united
Just seen their squad from today’s close game with Liverpool. I can’t believe how many journeymen type players they have. Leon Clarke being the biggest surprise.
Will they be able to keep up their energy and fight?
Also although wilder has done an amazing job there felt his management of the keeper today was a bit poor.

Re: Sheffield united
They'll be relegated along with Norwich.
It was more than 'a bit poor' about the goalkeeper. He virtually said that he's a billy big b0llocks and was the reason they lost.
Not great management.

Haven't got the nous like wot we have.
They've had a fair start, but they'll sink down soon and will be lucky to stay up.

Re: Sheffield united
They were unlucky today when Liverpool were off their game and they should have got something and it is that lack of killer instinct that may see them in trouble.
With regards to Wilder, I thought he was right and fair. The keeper is clearly a United fan and wants to play for them but will need to cut those type of mistakes out if he is to get that type of move.

Re: Sheffield united
You would think so. Although it doesn’t stop the current incumbent making similar mistakes and getting rewarded with a million pounds a month contract. Must be nice......Goobs wrote: The keeper is clearly a United fan and wants to play for them but will need to cut those type of mistakes out if he is to get that type of move.

Re: Sheffield united
Very surprised by Wilder’s post match comments about the keeper. He’s done similar before - I think he’s just trying to come across as ‘telling it like it is’ to the fans but appears to be trying too hard. Sometimes you need to manage the situation better particularly with young players. And Shef Utd have “plucky but not quite enough” written all over them.

Re: Sheffield united
A World Cup winner lost the ball trying to Cruyff turn in his own box yesterday. Pretty certain he’s fumbled one through his legs too. Yeah, you can work on things in training but to dig him out like that after the game is unhelpful and counter productive, particularly for a team that needs all the collective team spirit it can muster in order to survive.Goobs wrote:They were unlucky today when Liverpool were off their game and they should have got something and it is that lack of killer instinct that may see them in trouble.

Re: Sheffield united
They were very good yesterday to be fair.
Caught Liverpool on an off day but couldn't take advantage which isn't ideal.
But from what I've seen so far, they will give anyone a game and they are unbeaten away from home (no mean feat)
Be interesting to see if they can keep the spirit and effort levels up.
Still far too early to be writing anyone off IMHO of course

How many times have teams said they were off their game against us?Goobs wrote:They were unlucky today when Liverpool were off their game
It’s a lack of respect for the smaller team devising a system that restricts them.
SheffU were very unlucky not to get a deserved point. I think they could be the promoted team to stay up.

Re: Sheffield united
I think they've had a great start, but I too think they'll go down.
Its interesting the 3 different approaches of the promoted teams, and I think Sheff U have the best strategy. They've bought a very good Championship team, that's getting lots of experience, and will no doubt be hungry to bounce back if they should go down. They can then come back with a lot stronger team next time.
Norwich and Villa are more likely to lose players, especially their top players if they go down, and could struggle to bounce back.

Can you imagine dyches reaction to pope making a similar error? Would be totally different. In public at least.
What kind of extra unnecessary pressure does that put on a young kid? And will it make him want to work for that manager?
IMO wilder was ****** off about the result and put the blame squarely on the young goalkeeper.
Re: Sheffield united
Sheff U seem to have a bit more resilience than Norwich (who ship goals for fun) and Villa (who look mentally fragile and can’t keep hold of a lead). They also seem to be doing ok away from home (1 win and 2 draws I think) which is where promoted sides tend to really struggle. That said, it’s still very early in the season and promoted sides always carry a bit of momentum. Always hard to maintain such high effort standards over the course of a season.
