Burnley must have had about a good 80% of the possession on Saturday yet failed even to score a single goal despite that, really frustrating to watch.Cornwallclaret wrote: ↑Mon Mar 04, 2024 9:01 pmSheff u versus Burnley to come… we’ve been poor this season but somehow there’s a team worse. Hard to believe we both tore up the championship last year and Luton scraped into the prem but are at least making a fist of it this year. We need to beat Sheffield again,set down some sort of marker for next season,dust ourselves down and we go again UTC

Other than the Turf it was the first ground I ever saw us win at. That was in the FA Cup 6th round in 1962. There have only been two wins there since.JohnMcGreal wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2024 11:26 amOur record at Bramall Lane is really poor. That said Sheffield United look absolutely dreadful so maybe we can sneak a result there this time.
I knew we didn't win there that much, and having been at off top of my head the FA Cup game 2-2, a 3-2 win there and a 3-3 draw I would never have guessed it was that bad.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2024 11:42 amOther than the Turf it was the first ground I ever saw us win at.

Also a great 0-2 win in August 1973, our first game of the season on our return to the First Division. A very smart away kit, a brilliant performance and a team spirit probably as good as anything I've ever witnessed in over 65 years of watching us. Heady times.claretonthecoast1882 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2024 11:53 amI knew we didn't win there that much, and having been at off top of my head the FA Cup game 2-2, a 3-2 win there and a 3-3 draw I would never have guessed it was that bad.
Oh well it's either 19th or 20th we finish then
Great team Silky. I was there that day and seem to recall Doug Collins running the show.Silkyskills1 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2024 12:40 pmAlso a great 0-2 win in August 1973, our first game of the season on our return to the First Division.

The 3-2 there under Coyle was brilliant, comfortably Chris Eagles best game for us. I can't see there being quite the same buzz about the place this time. Still going to go though, just because it's a convenient day out.claretonthecoast1882 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2024 11:53 amI knew we didn't win there that much, and having been at off top of my head the FA Cup game 2-2, a 3-2 win there and a 3-3 draw I would never have guessed it was that bad.

Yeah he was excellent that day. Sheffield is a decent day out too and a better standard of residents that the other major city in Yorkshire.NottsClaret wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2024 1:06 pmThe 3-2 there under Coyle was brilliant, comfortably Chris Eagles best game for us.

It really isn't. It's an indicator of how far ahead the PL is of the Championship.ClaretLoup wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2024 1:07 pmWe actually finished 10 points ahead of the Blades last season, another indicator of our regression this season.
No one gets into the right place at the right time. All too busy getting a space for a pass and forget the purpose of all that!South West Claret. wrote: ↑Mon Mar 04, 2024 9:10 pmBurnley must have had about a good 80% of the possession on Saturday yet failed even to score a single goal despite that, really frustrating to watch.

You’re comparing a league of 46 games vs Championship opposition against 38 against Premier League opposition, which are miles above Championship.ClaretLoup wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2024 1:07 pmWe actually finished 10 points ahead of the Blades last season, another indicator of our regression this season.
it's going to be interesting to see how the promoted teams get on next season, I'm where you are with it at this moment in time. Saints conceding 3 at Birmingham, Leicester losing at home to QPR, Leeds not winning away at Huddersfield who had 10 men for a half doesn't smack of teams that will do well in the PL. I might of course be very wrong.

I must have seen one of them when I guess we were both at Uni in the early 70s. Peter Noble was unplayable and his heading incredible.
