Davefevs Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 9 hours ago, Redmycolour said: And you don't agree he was horrendous, if so, your one person out of thousands of city fans that night that thought he didn't have a bad debut, I thought his handling / saving in general was ok (as in average). He mis-punched a high ball in the wind, and made a very good save to his left in the second half. His distribution with his hands was quick and sent Hunt away on the break a couple of times. He sent Paterson away on another occasion with a good, accurate throw. Pato tried to turn on a sixpence and lost it. His kicking was effin’ awful though, apart from one driven pass early on to Kelly. Kicking / distribution is key in today’s game and there was almost a couple of horror moments. 4 hours ago, Sturny said: Fans always do this on debuts though. Look at the over hype surrounding Palmer after his debut. He hasn't done a great deal since His was very good in the FAC v Bolton, when he started, too.

BLRed Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Going to get spanked by sheff Utd. hate to sound negative but our keeper is terrible, we have lost our identity and drive and despite having a bigger squad, still appear burnt out. We can barely score, and now, we can stop conceding. sheff Utd, have a way of playing and stick to it. They work hard for each other, are more determined to go up and have quality to score goals. it all points to a big win for sheff Utd and further misery towards the end of our season... but it's okay, we have two games in hand to catch up.....

Mr Popodopolous Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 Can't see it going well. Tough enough at the best of times, let alone when we're in losing form and them in such good form...still we can turn up when unexpected and v big sides at that- the international break has come at a good time for us. @BOSRed They do...and they don't. In general they play with the back 3, almost always the back 3. However subtle variations within that framework lately- and these augur less well for us than even if they were attacking each week. Few recent examples. Vs Reading at home they win 4-0...but less possession, v a lowly side at that- at home- shock horror. Bit of a break from the Sheffield United way. WBA away, win 1-0- better footballing side first half, 2nd half more counterattacking. Not entirely what we'd associate with the Sheffield United style but more so given WBA away. Brentford home- 1-0 up yes and probably a fairly even game, but then down to 10 after 35 mins, Madine straight red. He'll possibly be out vs us which could help.Obviously they dropped back after this- but looking at their match report they made an unusual substitution- after a defender for an attacking mid and McGoldrick for Hogan at HT- he can perhaps hold the ball better, they took off RB/RWB Baldock...for Billy Sharp after an hour despite being under huge pressure with 10 men v Brentford. They had 18% possession and 19 shots conceded 2nd half, and woodwork hit- only 2 shots plus woodwork near the goal though probably, Sharp coming on helped them get up the pitch. They win 2-0, not the Sheffield United way that we'd associated with them. Leeds away- Happy to concede possession and play a cagier game, to play on the break- not what we would associate with the Sheffield United way. Actually looked a very tight game based on highlights, EFL Quest- only one shot on target for them and zero for Leeds. So if anything, they have got better, improved tactically over the last year and a half and have developed more layers to their game- or more likely Wilder has implemented these tweaks over time- so it'll be even harder!

He may have had the odd 'moment' since, but nothing overly alarming, in my book. Thought he was tidy against Leeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good handling , distribution, good to see our young uns in the first team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BessexRED Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Spoke to a Sheffield Wednesday fan I know and a mate that is at uni in Sheffield and they both recommended West Street for drinking if any of you are in Sheffield early enough before the game. It's about a 10 minute walk from the station and a 10 minute walk to Bramall Lane, SYP can be a tad heavy handed with football fans at the station apparently (who knew?) so if you're in a big group probably best to split and meet outside. There are pubs nearer the ground as well but no guarantee they let away fans in so not going to chance it. Looking forward to this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was always the "go to" pub to meet at when we were out on the town somewhere. I actually lived near The Blades ground when I was there and wouldn't care to wear away colours on matchday in any of 'em (especially if the away club was Leeds) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
