robin_unreliant Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 Would definitely take a point today. Derby and Hull mentioned as lower placed teams but I don't think those games will be easy either. Hull are on a bit of a run and Derby have a few good players. 1 Quote Link to comment

Maybe a bit unlucky, but certainly will be facing them both when they are in pretty good form. Hull now on a good run and Derby just taken 4 points off the top two. No easy games… Edited November 28, 2021 by cityexile Quote Link to comment
EstoniaTallinnRed Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 Good Day all! A good start would be great , as we usually take so long to settle down and let teams come on to us from the KO. If we press them like we did against Stoke from the beginning this time, then I think we will have a good chance of at least getting a point or even three. So all of you up there, hope you get a good result. Come On You Red's!!!!!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Sweeneys Penalties Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 Have good memories of Bramall Lane, having lived and worked there for a while. I had a flat near the Blades Ground and certainly wasn't averse to ambling down the hill on matchday to sit in The Kop End. Enjoyed the City and a decent set of fans to boot. 1 Quote Link to comment
Swede Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 I would take a draw right now such is our plight and especially after the results yesterday. Another game closer to the transfer window where NP can offload those who don't want to be on the bus and get better reinforcements who do. Quote Link to comment
Unan Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 As expected, Massengo for Williams 3 Quote Link to comment

It's done well but the youth is mad. COD is the old head at 25, iirc Bakinson is 21, Massengo 20, Scott and Benarous are 18 and 17 respectively. I might have a year wrong here or there. They're doing well, but I'd love James' experience back in there soon. Up against Bogle, Norwood, Hourihane etc. That's some real experience v real youth today.

Quite odd results yesterday, every team in the bottom half except Luton picked up points. A win today (big ask) and we are right in mid table, remarkable considering how poor we've been in the most part. 1 Quote Link to comment

mozo Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 How can Flea of the RHCP be a Blades fan?! Anyway, I predict a 1-1 draw with both sides happy to take the point and not really going for it at the end. Quote Link to comment

YGBjammy Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 Our centre midfield of Massengo, Benarous, and Bakinson has an average age of about 20. I have faith in them, but we have to acknowledge that is VERY young for a championship midfield trio. No real CMs on the bench either. Quote Link to comment

Just a comment to note that this midfield is an U23s midfield. Quote Link to comment

No evidence it is an injury that is going to keep him out for a while. Seemed to be saying last game his hamstring was feeling tight and got taken off. Given a long break for injury, three games in a week is most likely seen as an an unnecessary risk and this is ‘an abundance of caution’ rather than anything more serious. Hope so anyway. edit: umm…then it emerges ‘out for a few weeks…’ Edited November 28, 2021 by cityexile Quote Link to comment
