Sheff utd.
No axe to grind with sheff utd, but I think their bubble is about to burst very soon, not just the next few tough fixtures, but because they look like a a team that will quite easily fall apart with a couple of bad results.
They seem to be everyones favourite other team right now.
Wilder is a decent enough bloke too, but I don't see them maintaining this form much longer.
They get treated a bit like we do by the media too, almost as if a playful pat on the head is due by the know it all pundits.
Much prefer to see them do well than the massively overrated London teams, but my opinion is they will fade away quite soon.

Re: Sheff utd.
As much as I would like to agree with you from our own selfish point of view, I personally can't see it. Wilder has proven a few times this season he knows how to switch his tactics mid game and yesterday was another result of that. I expect them to drop off, but not too considerably to drag them into a relegation battle. But like I said at the start, I really hope they do!

Not a chance their bubble will burst.
They play brilliant football and that gets them the wins.

Re: Sheff utd.
Wilder's a savvy manager, I think he'll see em right.
They may hit a bad patch through injury/suspensions,
but otherwise, out of the three that came up, I think they
have the best chance of staying up.

Re: Sheff utd.
It’s their system that has troubled teams and congrats to Wilder for coming up with it.
Next season will be far more difficult for them, unless they buy a goal-scoring striker.

Re: Sheff utd.
Their system is to play football and pass the ball. They have shown that it's nothing to do with money, as was shown with their board not much richer than us. They just sign players who can control a football.Tricky Trevor wrote: ↑Sun Dec 15, 2019 9:19 pmIt’s their system that has troubled teams and congrats to Wilder for coming up with it.

Re: Sheff utd.
I think Sheffield United are the team of the season so far and, even if they
drop off a little, will I believe, end up in the top ten if not higher.
They know how to defend (conceded 16 goals so far) and have done extremely well away from home.
They also play reasonably attractive football too.
They've 'out-Burnleyed' us and we got hammered at their place.
Not sure how much they spent in the summer but can't recall any huge fees.
Hats off to them.

I've followed their results and how what he's done with them. It's been nothing short of brilliant.

Wilder is doing really well but has yet to achieve what Dyche has.

There’s nothing to say they will finish above the 7th place we have already reached. When he has kept them in the prem for 4 seasons we can review it again. They haven’t played everyone once yet for a start.....

I have also followed his results, I agree he is a very good manager and done a very good job. But it is incomparable to the achievements of Dyche. The top flight is the elite, that is where you prove your management worth, he has managed 17 games so far. Dyche went 23 unbeaten in the Championship and won it, a better achievement than Wilder has done in lower leagues IMOFactualFrank wrote: ↑Sun Dec 15, 2019 9:32 pmI just have.

Re: Sheff utd.
I think they may hit a bad run but they have done so well so quickly that they probably only need three more wins to stay up! That will still be their first aim.
Clearly have hard working players and a great team spirit. I thought when he slated the keeper after the Liverpool goal it was dreadful management. With hindsight just shows that he has very high standards and expectations and they have gone from strength to strength since then.
TBH Hope they stay up. Not at our expense. But because the more teams like them and us the better for me.

Re: Sheff utd.
I wish them well because they have a manager and a philosophy very similar to ours.
Yes, they beat us at Bramall Lane, however, Jay Rod should have had a penalty before they had scored and you can never tell what effect that would have had on the game. We struggled to get any decisions from the ref that day and even the two friends who I was sat with, both Blades fans, said that they had had the rub of the green. It happens and we have similar days so no complaints.
Good luck to them.

Re: Sheff utd.
It’s almost like the Dutch total football scheme. Except SU star with 3 CHs and they are all encouraged to bring the ball out and if they see the chance follow the move through to the other box. They cover as they still have 2 CHs and the MF drops in where needed.FactualFrank wrote: ↑Sun Dec 15, 2019 9:23 pmTheir system is to play football and pass the ball.

This is what I’ve been crying out for to get Gibson into the side. Because we went away from 4-4-2 and it flopped I can’t see it happening.
Re: Sheff utd.
Wilder has taken them from struggling in League One as well. Dyche inherited a pretty good Chsmpionship squad from Eddie Howe, he just added to it and made us organised. For what it's worth I think they'll stay up comfortably.
Re: Sheff utd.
I think Wilder has done a great job but the key will be whether he can get them back on track when they inevitably have a poor run of results and lose a bit of confidence. One thing Dyche has demonstrated is that he can pick his team back up when they are down.
I also recall that Blackpool had an amazing first half to their Premier League campaign and entered the new year with something Like 27/28 points, yet still got relegated. I very much doubt Sheff U will suffer the same fate but I’d be amazed if they can maintain their current form.

Re: Sheff utd.
If Sheff Utd stay up this season then Wilder will have done better at Sheff Utd in his first 4 years than Dyche did at Burnley in his first 4 years (which in itself is amazing)
Dyche consolidated, took us up, took us down and then took us back up and we'd gone from being an average Championship team to a struggling Premier League team.
In the same period Wilder will have taken Sheff Utd from the lower leagues into the Premier League and kept them up at is first attempt which is clearly a better record than Dyche.
The challenge is the next 4 years as Dyche has miraculously established us as a Premier League team, finished 7th and took us in to Europe and even when we had a real dip and looked odds on for going down he showed his brilliance to turn it around.
Can Wilder continue to keep a club like Sheff Utd in the top league and do something special like a Europe or a cup final as I think what stands Dyche out is the consistency and longevity of his success with us and that will be hard for any manager to match

Re: Sheff utd.
I have always liked Sheffield United and it's good to see a genuinely big club being where they are. They have underperformed for too many years.
As for the arguments on here about Wilder and Dyche, it's all pretty pointless, they've both done great jobs for their clubs and that is all that matters. There is no reason to assume that Wilder can't 'do a Dyche' because Sheff Utd have far more potential than us by a mile. Whose to say they can't one day become one of the 'elite'? Leicester are a long way down that route now. A PL win under their belts and at the moment they look odds on for a runners-up spot. Who'd have thought that a few years ago?
The PL is starting to open up bit recently and that can only be a good thing. Even though Liverpool have long been considered one of the big six their (soon to be) PL win will put another new name on the trophy. Long may the trend continue - the sooner the grip on it by the 'elite' is lossened the better.
