3 really important games coming up, season defining I’d say. Anything lower than 7 points from 9 and I’d say we’re falling short.

 

[Silent Blade]

It came up last week but our record against Steve Bruce's sides is pretty awful. Since we beat his Villa side 4-1 at the Lane we've scored 1 goal in 5 games: Sharp's winner against Newcastle last season.

20/21 PL Newcastle 1-0 United
20/21 PL United 1-0 Newcastle
19/20 (PL; post restart) Newcastle 3-0 United
19/20 (PL; pre restart) United 0-2 Newcastle
18/19 CH Wednesday 0-0 United
18/19 CH United 4-1 Villa
17/18 CH Villa 2-2 United
17/18 CH United 0-1 Villa
13/14 FAC Hull 5-3 United
06/07 LC United 2-4 Birmingham C
01/02 D1 Birmingham C 2-0 United
01/02 D1 United 1-3 Palace
99/00 D1 United 0-1 Huddersfield
99/00 D1 Huddersfield 4-1 United

Wasnt he with Huddersfield when we beat them 3-0 at home in 2000/01?

I think u r right, who was their manager when they fluked a 0.0 at the Lane and celebrated like they had won the league ? Or have I imagined that as well !

I get that thinking but 76 points gets you in. That's 10 wins and 4 draws. Doesn't really matter where they come from

Bruce has done well against our system and players a few times recently.

We don’t cope well with trying to break a team down camped in and around their own area and we really don’t cope with a long ball over the top to explosive pace.

Hoping for a win and a bit of revenge from the 4-0 reverse fixture but still think it could be a really frustrating evening for us.

 

[Torrix1889]

Was looking forward to this one under Ismael as WBA really seemed to be imploding but Bruce has an excellent record against us winning 10 of his 14 matches as boss, drawing 2 and losing 2.....

Steve Bruce managing with Andy Carroll on the books and Callum Robinson having hardly scored recently. What could go wrong?!

I'd settle for 7 of 9 any day (or night preferably)

We managed to let Lyle 'fucking' Taylor score on Friday, he's absolutely dogshit. I'm sure Carroll and Robinson will be heartened.

ah but what points would 7 of 9 give you, enough to get into the play offs, or a deduction sending you into the relegation zone?

 

[Bladesince59]

Bruce likes to beat us.

 

[bongleblade]

I’m optimistic. I think we might have worked on plugging the hole we had in the air. I think Goode will get an outing as sub or even starting. McB will play up top with Sharp at some point in the game.

2-0 win. Sharp brace

2 pens? I've heard he can only score penalties.

I can imagine she might be like the expert analysts on this forum and work generally on a scale of around Zero to 6, so maybe a Non-Disclosure Agreement might have to be negotiated first.

 

[Harry's Game]

“Not to be exhaustive but just taking the engine room position of central midfield compare our lot with the competition:-
Fulham: Harrison Reed; Cavaleiro, Tom Cairney; Loftus Cheek, Lemina
QPR: Johansen; Field; Ilias Chair; Albert Adomah
Sheffield Utd: Sander Berge, Oliver Norwood, Gibbs_White; Hourihane”

Not entirely sure what conclusions the poster of this was expecting people to draw here..

 

[originaltrueblade]

We need to return the defeat at their place into a drubbing of them at our place...Send the towel throw in hatchet mob packing. AND they can take Bruce with them

Thanks Roy

 

[robbiez666]

Big challenge tomorrow. Literally. We couldn't cope with their aerial bombardment in the reverse fixture. We need to sort that or going up is not happening. I'd happily take a point from this.

 

[JayGreen17]

A loss would be a blow, as it takes them six way, need a draw at least from this.

 

[BigBed]

3-1 Blades, MGW, SHARP, JEBBO.

 

[Brian Deane]

This has 1-0 to the cabbages written all over it.
UTB

 

[SUFC Handsworth]

This game for me will be crucial. The belief that is building would just go up another level and I would really fancy us in the run in. The game away was the first time in 30 years that I left after 70 mins… it really was that bad so tomorrow night will be a huge game. Can’t wait actually.

Correct, this one v WBA and the next one at Huddersfield, are huge. Win them both and we're right in there. Knowing United it'll be two draws and a load of what ifs!

Bet you wish you'd put some money on that prediction...

Edit - just seen previous post bongleblade

Wonder what odds you'd have got?
