Cheers Roy.

If Anel is back then that gives us some hope. If not then we really are struggling player wise. However, even if Anel is just 'close' to returning then I think we will select him as we are very light in that department now that Baldock is out. Besides, we really miss his aerial threat at both ends.

Go at these with a high press and we will see some results.

Top work Roy, but I'm not confident this week.

 

[CPB]

Never like it when the opposition aren't confident

Thing is Brum and QPR were confident so don't think we can be happy either way!

They haven't got a great home record so we have to try and get stuck in early doors. We get ourselves ahead in first half and keep the pressure on then it could be flat home atmosphere.

 

[The Crab]

Our last couple of performances are like my non existent love life.

Oh for a bit of Anel.......

Cheers roy

Quote of the season, "more suffering than living should allow". Blades all know this as fans/supporters.
Only hope the Blades bubble is still spherical after Stoke.
I'm looking for a win but feeling a little .
Please no more 'injury moaning', same for everyone, gerron wi it.
Thank you, Roy.

 

[Speedracer]

Thanks Roy.

Cheered me right up reading that, well it did when I realised they were talking about themselves & not us!

No place for Khadra?

 

[DaleHillBlade]

Don’t mind Stoke.. sat in the home end for the 2-2 and the bloke behind me muttered on about United so much me and Jnr were convinced he was a Pig. Half time he taps my shoulder and asks if I’m a Blade. Once confirmed as such he chuckles and said he thought so (less than enthusiastic celebrations when they scored) but then second half we were made to feel welcome and spent most of the time discussing our great season and how crap Stoke were.

My best friend at Uni (RPI Dan) was a Stoke fan, so I guess I remember trips to the Victoria Ground with some nostalgia (not that I remember much of them ).

Hope we smash them.

“Our injuries are killing us. “

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

Always feels like a tough place to go Stoke. However, as their fans say, they’re not great at home and we’re not too shabby away from home with 3 wins from 3 and zero goals conceded in our last 3 away outings.

Always felt we’re a similar club and support base to Stoke, loud when we wanna be. However, we’ll take a good following tomorrow and back the lads by out singing the home support.

At least we’re not going to Port Vale eh? some of the funniest aggro I’ve seen following the Blades last time we went there a few years back. Men against boys. Took the piss that day!

 

[dublin 10 blade]

Take a draw or a scrappy 0-1 away win
We need to settle it down , get our injured players back and calm it down
Once our players start to come back our team / squad settles down and it’ll start to give us options that other teams don’t have
We may lose top spot this weekend I’m not worried about that
My main problem is some of our more deranged/ deluded fans thinking where the dogs bollox when in fact we area good team , not world beaters
And I hope Mcburnie got fined 2 weeks wages for his stupid booking after qpr

 

[SirNibletsO'Korne]

Thanks Roy. Tricky un this, methinks. A pessimistic bunch,but living in Stoke this is no surprise.
Extremely scrappy win predicted.

 

[BushBlade]

Cheers roy, harping on about injuries, welcome to our world

I haven’t done any kind of in depth study but I get the impression that a lot of teams are suffering with more injuries than normal, not just us. I suspect it’s a combination of the previous disruptions caused by Covid and the shortened pre-season due to the stupid timing of the World Cup. It’s put a ridiculous amount of strain on the bodies of most footballers.

 

[SUFC Guy]

No place for Khadra?

Think he's better off as an impact sub. Maybe 30 mins as a sub. He's still raw imo and needs a few years more coaching before being consistently good.

No stadium should be called Bet365. It's just wrong.

Fucking injuries? They want to look at our hospital sorry Phyiso Dept!

[coaxingstar71]

We've won there once in the last 8 visits since our amazing 4-0 win there in 1996, a 1-0 win in 2007 courtesy of a goal from Gary Cahill no less.

 

[Mark F]

Well based on their performance v us you should win easily but then they went and drew at Burnley.

Classic Championship I guess !
