Brighton ......Must win game

Brighton is a bit of a grudge match for Norwood given his treatment there. A good.chance he will pick up a yellow card.,.especially if he scores!

George Baldock is just as much a revelation as Lunny. Both have taken to the Prem like ducks to water. We are indeed a privelege to watch.

I don’t know if you heard Tufty’s RS interview after the Villa match. He was clearly irked at constant references to our organisation, togetherness and commitment as though that was all we had. He emphasised our talent, our ability to play the game properly. “We don’t just bang it down the channels for Brian Deane to chase...”

Yet again he promulgates proper football and the right way. This time, however, he distanced himself from Bassett.

Hoofers, Tufty is not your man. He never has been. He has now put it beyond all doubt. You have nowhere left to hide. It’s off to Concord Park on a Sunday morning for you lot I’m afraid. Our club is firmly aligned with the beautiful game. There’s nothing for you here. Pele be praised.

Interesting that he should distance himself from DB since I know from an extremely good source that he was the very man who got on the phone to Kev when CW was about to sign for Charlton and told him to " Stop fackin' abaht and go and get 'im fackin' signed for us ".

In passing , and much as I appreciate the undoubted wisdom and perceptiveness of many of your posts ,perhaps the time has come to stop teasing fellow Blades in respect of any previous allegiances they may have held .

New Year's resolution ? :)
 
Regardless of the Brighton game, I always saw the Norwich game as 'must win' (or at least 'mustn't lose'). A loss there would have been 2 straight losses, three points for a 'relegation rival' and a whole new complexion to our season.

Forgetting the giddiness of our current position, almost without exception, the top 10/11 finishers in the Premier League can be predicted. Otherwise-rubbish teams like Everton, West Ham etc. will change managers and/or buy their way out of trouble. The exceptions are teams like Leicester and Wolves - who have massive financial backing – or Burnley, Bournemouth etc. who burn brightly before they fade.

This means that teams like United will usually be ‘looking over our shoulder’ and where a few bad results can plunge us into the ‘relegation scrap’ region of the PL. Let's just enjoy the ride, it's fantastic!

As above, Norwood is available. However, I would have been tempted to give him a rest at some point soon anyway. Think he's having quite a bad December.

Wow ,weve got Curtis Woodhouse saying hes Utd 2nd best ever player ,Darren Bent and Kamara saying hes the reason behind our success ,loops of his passes on social media ,and weve had back to back victories. Hope he has a better January eh ?
3 years ago we had Dean Hammond ,Florent Cuvulier ,Martyn Woolford ,Samir Carruthers and Jay Oshea ,that's what you call a bad December.

You want to bet Everton and West Ham will finish in the top ten?

“Teams like United” 🤮🤮

Pinchy can have another wank;- once again he wins the Internet Arguing Trophy and is definitely the bestest arguer in his own bedroom.
 
It will be a tough nut to crack this game.

Would we do a straight swap with Freeman in for Fleck? - or go a little different with....

---------- Hendo

Bash ------------- Egan ------------- JOC

Baldock -----------------------------Stevens

------ Norwood ------------ Lunny

-------------------- Didz

------------- Mousse ---------- McBurnie

That’s no problem. Bassett isn’t online. Wilder out, eh? Mustn’t acknowledge the grotesque truth about Dinosaur Dave. We ❤️ Hoof and vote for Brexit on here. No coincidence there. Two sides of the same nasty coin.

You are slightly amusing in a way I suppose. Its like conversing with someone who's not quite a full schilling.

For a home game, Freeman. Got a feeling an away game it might be the more defensive Osborn. Solid 3

Wilder had that choice to make at Chelsea but went with the more expansive Freeman. I'd be amazed if Osborn starts...but equally I'd not rule it out.
 
Being an away game I expect Besic to start. Norwood may well take on the Fleck role and Besic takes on his role as the deeper midfielder.
 
If Brighton play against us like they've played 1st half tonight it'll be a difficult game. They've just given Palace a footballing lesson without managing to score.

Let’s be honest though, we won’t sit off them like Palace have done, Palace look shocking and showed no urgency whatsoever in that first half, how they’re 10th I’ll never know.

As a matter of interest (I did not hear the interview) was Wilder getting at Bassett, or journalists for stereotyping? I would be surprised if he did not appreciate the skills of Hodges and Agana, for example, or for that matter, Deane. I am sure Deano was always happy for opponents to think that he was just a big clumsy attacker, only dangerous in the air.

Agreed. I actually think they play a bit like us, confident football out from the back into midfielders feet. Bit surprised by Dunk and Burn. I thought they were just out and out defenders.

Who is this Burn you speak of? :)
 
Maupay has an uncanny Lineker-like ability to find space in the box. I’m seeing it too often to be a fluke.
