"You see plenty of players/coaches come up from the championship and do alright in the short-term but struggle to stay at the top. I personally rate Dean Smith as a better manager but that’s just me.”

Is that the Dean Smith at Villa who spent £146m following promotion and is still one point and three places behind us?
 


Cheers Roy great read , well done on gathering that .. looks like 3 months into the season were finally getting the respect we deserve 👍
 
“It’s easy to write Sheffield United off (and all the lazy pundits have) because they’re a small and unfashionable club "


A Brighton fan calling us small and unfashionable,,,,,, really what they ever won
we average 30k in the prem
when did they last get a 40000 gate in div 3

This will be one of Brighton's new fans who has not a clue about football history. Had a bit of sympathy for them when they were nomads but now they've gone billy big time plastics.
 
Brilliant Roy. Some people clearly watch very little football and I have yet to see a game played "On Paper" Priceless. :D
 
Love it cheers Royston 👍

As the last man said, a half season update from you would be brilliant.
 
I assume this is an innovation for our arrival in the PL (apologies if you have done it before and I missed it). I really disliked the innovative light show on Monday; whereas this 'View from' is brilliant. Thanks - this season is proving enjoyable in so many different ways.
 
Thanks Roy couldn’t put that down, nice to read these positive comments from others after all we been through.
the shitty ones are from the scared ones. ie Toon army with mrs Doubtfire at the helm.
I take the ones from the top six as a more accurate assumption of us.
 
I saw this on the match thread on reddit

"Once in a while, you see a team that changes the way you see and think football. Sheffield United are that team for me.

Brilliant organization and confidence in not just buldup but their entire game. Each player knew their teammates' every run. Seemed like they could play blindfolded and still win."
 


Great work Roygbiv . Norwich fans really are a bitter deluded bunch.
 
Not wishing to be ungrateful but what about the Burnley fans? Are their comments so awful that you didn't want us to see them? 😂
 

Nice one Roy 👍

Anyone else notice this?

Villa fan
“Have to say whenever I catch a TV game of theirs I enjoy watching Sheffield United. Like us they will stay up as they’re decent at both ends. Respect Wilder plenty and he really makes that 3-5-2 work. Of course they can knock it long when required but they are also very capable of playing quick 1-2s out wide quickly which means with their overloads their wide players get plenty of space to get crosses in. They build up plenty of corners from that tactic and eventually they score from one. We’ve also struggled defending against them in last two seasons. At the other end they also have more grit than Norwich who are simply too easy to score against.”

Man U fan
Have to say I really enjoy watching Sheffield United play.
It’s not passing around for passing around sake (unlike their opposition tonight who wanted to get their possession stats up in last 20 minutes). They can knock it long when they want to but they are also capable of playing good quick touch football when that is required and they don’t get enough credit for that. It won them several corners tonight and eventually they scored from one.
Reason 3-5-2 is effective is they actually make it work overloading in corners of the pitch and play quick 1-2s that give their wide players space.
A very nice team to watch and think I’ve said consistantly this season they’ll stay up as to me they have more grit than Norwich who are too easy to score against.”

Villa fan getting his neutral perspective from a Man U forum? Or vice Verda. Bit odd?
 
Yet another fantastic job there Roy, enjoyed that, decent read, even if the bog seat starts to make your legs go numb, i couldn't stop reading!!!
It just nice to see that the majority of fans are taking notice of the Shoreham St Elite!!
Obviously there are still thick fuckers supporting every club!!
 
Nice one Roy 👍

That's well weird. I didn't even notice as I got the Villa fans views on Monday and the Man U ones today.
 
I find it funny that all the rival lower end teams have mostly slated us but those quality teams at the top of the league have all given us good reviews - is that fear or just comments based on previous rivalry from our seaons in the championship?

Interesting read all the same.

I thought the same
Brighton have spent almost their entire history in the 3rd tier and have only spent 6.....yes SIX seasons in the top flight.
They‘ve not won a single thing and only been in 1 cup final which they lost.
Whereas we’ve spent most of our history in the top flight, think it’s 61 seasons, been in loads of finals.

Based on history Brighton aren’t much bigger than AFC Bournmouth.
