Today's football

It's nice to be in such a stress-free situation this morning watching the other teams play.

I really don't fancy Sheff Utd at Plymouth, tough place to go.

I reckon Sheff Utd will be lucky to draw, but Weeds will win.

matttheclaret · Post by **matttheclaret** » Sat Apr 12, 2025 9:15 am

I expect them both to win today. Anything else would be a real bonus

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sat Apr 12, 2025 9:27 am

Plymouth played Wednesday night in Swansea. Sheff U have an extra day rest. Think they win today.

dougcollins · Post by **dougcollins** » Sat Apr 12, 2025 9:27 am

I think Leeds win, but the potential for Blades to slip up.

Its basically **** or bust for Plymouth now, not an easy game at all.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sat Apr 12, 2025 9:57 am

What will be will be for the others, we just have to keep winning.

UTC.

I think Wilder at present does not know his best team, and I suspect he is not the calming influence in the dressing room-good luck to Plymouth today

dvalley69 · Post by **dvalley69** » Sat Apr 12, 2025 10:04 am

We got slightly lucky at Plymouth with the new manager just coming in, as their defence was a shambles. But they're a decent home outfit and have had some good wins at Home Park this season. Let's hope they're fired up and show some fight.

ClaretAndJew · Post by **ClaretAndJew** » Sat Apr 12, 2025 10:12 am

Plymouth have a big injury issue in defence. Sheffield United will win about 4-0.

alwaysaclaret · Post by **alwaysaclaret** » Sat Apr 12, 2025 10:17 am

Far from easy for sheff utd, both have to win, won't be a normal run of the mill game, big pressures for both, and we all know what happens with pressure.

Also another big game, Watford v West brom.

Expect DL to win today though.

Come on, Preston!
Come on Plymouth!

Two P's or not two P's. That is the question.

Yes, I know. ....I'm going.

I'm just hoping Leeds early kick off jinx and Wilders negativity play a part

ecc · Post by **ecc** » Sat Apr 12, 2025 11:45 am

Last chance saloon for Plymouth. Just have to hope SU don't score early and the tension kicks in.

Clive 1960 · Post by **Clive 1960** » Sat Apr 12, 2025 12:07 pm

think they should both collect 3pts knowing we won last night..

Woonderbah · Post by **Woonderbah** » Sat Apr 12, 2025 12:22 pm

Ironically I'm hoping the racist thug can score a couple at Leeds today

Venkys4eva · Post by **Venkys4eva** » Sat Apr 12, 2025 12:25 pm

You have to think they are both easy games but their form has been a bit dodgy recently. A sheff united draw would be a fantastic result.

ecc · Post by **ecc** » Sat Apr 12, 2025 12:26 pm

Cannon up top. First start since Feb. No goals since signing for £10m.

I can't really see beyond both LU and SU winning unfortunately.

That'd put it at LU 88 Bur 88 SU 86

Permutations then for us really depend on our game v SU
If we beat Watford then they really need to beat us you'd imagine

Frankly I can see us still needing to beat Milwall last game of the season to guarantee automatic

BigGaz · Post by **BigGaz** » Sat Apr 12, 2025 12:30 pm

Don't really care what Leeds do as I'm not overly fussed about winning the league, but if we can exit the weekend with a 5 or 4 point gap over 3rd then we would have to have a monumental collapse over the last four games to not go up automatically.

Get on you Janners

I'd absolutely settle for going into that last game knowing a win guarantees promotion

2-1 to Leeds now

Can only see one winner at Plymouth tbf...they look a team that's given up...it'll be a comfy win for Blades.

That's what I thought about Norwich at half time...

Looks like nobbers only turn up when they play us.

simonclaret · Post by **simonclaret** » Sat Apr 12, 2025 12:50 pm

Plymouth defending well, staying in the game. Lots of changes for Sheff, Wilder rolling the dice. Created nothing in 20 mins

mkmel · Post by **mkmel** » Sat Apr 12, 2025 12:51 pm

If I had to choose only one of Leeds and Sheffield Utd to lose today it would be the Blades.

We would then still be 5 points ahead of Sheffield Utd with just 4 games to go and they have to visit us on Easter Monday

That's what a sensible fan would say, and then anti Leeds bias kicks in.

Totally agree with you bty.

Let’s not pretend Plymouth is a tough place to go. They’re bottom of the league. Anything other than a Leeds and Sheff U win is a complete bonus.

I haven't heard a single Burnley fan say they'd rather Sheff Utd win than Leeds today.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Apr 12, 2025 1:01 pm

Plymouth are awful.
We can only hope.

Won once away from home all season and a few draws. Most of their points have come at home and have beaten a fair few top 10 sides. They score plenty at home, too. Not a forgone conclusion and Sheff Utd are doing nothing at all.

This ref is terrible at plymouth

How at any level of football is this not a pen? He went on to drag him to the ground.

But it’s not a difficult place to go is it. It’s probably the easiest place to go in the Championship.

And a red card. Sheff Utd have benefited from so many bad ref decisions lately.

Can't believe the ref let that go.
Might have been just outside the box, but getting away with that was ridiculous.
