DL v Sheffield United

[ecc]

First of all, this will be a very emotional match for all the Blades' players, staff and fans.

In terms of the result, however much I love seeing DL lose, a draw has to be the best result for us (IMHO).

[summitclaret]

Yes a draw. These 2 are our main competitors for
promotion imo.

[dougcollins]

I think Sheff U are better than Leeds, could be interesting.

I think Sheff U are better than Leeds, could be interesting.

I haven't seen either team play but whilst it's still very early days I get the feeling SU will be a strong contender for automatic.

[blatherwickstattoos]

Both will finish above us I think.

[Buxtonclaret]

Come on Blades.

[Claretitus]

Both will finish above us I think.

100% correct I fear.

[jrgbfc]

I don't think Leeds are anything special this year at all.

[simonclaret]

Commentator said the best team vs the top team at kick off!

[WazzaClaret]

Commentator said the best team vs the top team at kick off!

Doesn't bother me one bit, I'll happily take us going under the radar.

[ISpeds00]

Leeds look so much better than us going forward - we did well to get a win there

[fatboy47]

In all honestly, both these teams look a long way in front of us.

Physicality, movement and attacking intent...both teams look right on their game.

[ClaretTony]

I think Sheff U are likely favourites now to win the league.

[Buxtonclaret]

If Blades can keep onside with one of these counters, they'll score

[CHEWBACCA]

Not keen on either but dislike weeds more..
Come on you blades....Just.

[Commy]

It's our slow build up play that causes the problems. Teams can set up against us. If we upped the tempo we might find spaces.

[cockneyclaret]

I don't think Leeds are anything special this year at all.

Definitely come across as the media darlings

[clitheroeclaret3]

Both a bit like us really, strong defences and midfield, not much up top

[ervi34]

Both will finish above us I think.

That might be the case, but I'm not sure why are so many people on here praising them tonight. Blades without a single shot on target. Leeds slightly better, but nowhere near impressive.

[agreenwood]

Hopefully we can finish above Sheffield United after them pipping us to the title in October 2022.

[bobinho]

Leeds look so much better than us going forward - we did well to get a win there

It helps when they get a sight of goal they tend to shoot first time…

And you’re right… we did really well to win there - they pasted us.

[Dy1geo]

Getting men behind the ball and hoping to catch a team on the break seems to be the blueprint these days, Sheff U are good enough to have a go at Leeds but instead rely on pragmatism and getting men behind the ball and hoping to catch Leeds on the break.

[The Hung Juror]

If we can finish above either of these we’ll be promoted. Both with their attacking intent show up our slow build up play for what it is, ineffective.

[Burnley Ace]

Neither of these teams will finish above us. 55 mins in SU haven’t had a shot on target and Leeds have had 2 both very weak.

Lots of aimless crosses into the box though.

[PremierLeagueClass]

Both look quite toothless.

[CrosspoolClarets]

What we see in this game is that defences are the difference, Parker is right in that. That’s why the Blades are up there.

Contrast to Wednesday in mid table. Only 1 different in scored, but 12 different in defence.

Tbh could easily be why us and the Blades go up together again. We need to improve a bit of course.

[ClaretTony]

1-0 Leeds

[Buxtonclaret]

Booo

[ClaretTony]

And a second 2-0.

[RVclaret]

Leeds quite comfortably the better team here. Think they win the league easily.

[jdrobbo]

Been very unimpressed with Blades. Very slow and clumsy in possession. Leeds worthy winners.

[agreenwood]

Been a poor game, low on quality. Like many of our games, not a great advert for the EFL.

One thing is for certain, whoever goes up this season is going to be on a hiding to nothing next season.

[ClaretTony]

Leeds quite comfortably the better team here. Think they win the league easily.

The same Leeds team that lost to us. They’ve been better than Sheff U tonight undoubtedly but I’m not convinced they will be the league winners.

[jrgbfc]

This is best i've seen Leeds this season. They still look a bit weak upfront though.

[ClaretTony]

This is best i've seen Leeds this season. They still look a bit weak upfront though.

I’ve not seen them play better than this

[FCBurnley]

Sheff U very similar to us Never looked like scoring and weaker than us in in defense. Shows what a good win ours was at Leeds

[Marty Dobson]

I think Sheff U are better than Leeds, could be interesting.

That went well then.

[Devils_Advocate]

Shows what a good win ours was at Leeds

I think the word you're looking for is lucky

[ISpeds00]

Leeds looked good - starting to build some momentum
Sheffield United werent at it - but away on a Friday night at a top side isnt going to hinder their chances

Burnley just need to kick on now and start getting a few more goals and tubbings given

[The Shire Claret]

Tonight shows to me that the league is there for the taking if we keep consistent

Some of our fans quick to complain about lack of goals recently but Sheff U haven’t lost and didn’t manage a shot in goal tonight

Football is football - it happens

Not one of us has a clue at this stage who could win this league

No one is standing out 9 -10 games in

UTC

[Jimmymaccer]

Beat SW…………

We go top, or second.

I’ll settle for that.

Sleep well all………

[The Shire Claret]

I think the word you're looking for is lucky

We weren’t lucky

We won a game of football by scoring and defending well

[CrosspoolClarets]

All leading teams struggling to score.

Two for DL tonight, one lucky one off the shinpads like a bullet and one where the shirt tugging should have been pulled up.

It’ll be a close season I reckon.

[Devils_Advocate]

We weren’t lucky

We won a game of football by scoring and defending well

I wasn't lucky, I picked the right six numbers and won the lottery

[The Shire Claret]

Terrible Analogy

[dougcollins]

My nephew is a Leeds ST holder and he reckons they will sleepwalk to the title this season, win it by accident.

[blatherwickstattoos]

Sheffield United doing a carbon copy of us . Absolutely woeful display with no shots. Extremely poor league this season. Probably the weakest the championship has ever been.

[beddie]

At least Leeds created a number of chances, unfortunately something we're not doing at the moment.

Bar 2 years ago. The standard was absolutely woeful when we went up under Kompany
