Early Derby Day Predictions

[1066blade]

Blades 7 Wendy 3 in September 1951

That's no better than 4-0, a score which I'm sure they'll bring up... again.

 

[heeleygerman]

It's the highest score for the home team in the history of the sheffield Derby though. To go with the highest away score 4,and the highest aggregate over the two games is 10.

think the blades 7-3 trumps it a bit

 

[blade too long]

what really would shut them up is 0-5, when we won 4-2 could have been another 7

 

[heeleygerman]

think the blades 7-3 trumps it a bit

That's what I meant, highest home score 7,highest away 4 and highest aggregate 10. Trumps the 4-0 any day.

Im more concerned about the next couple of fixtures against Preston and Bristol City and after those two games I’ll concentrate on the pig match.

A lot can happen between now and then so I’m not going to make any stupid forecasts that’ll leave us looking stupid as I’m old enough to have seen plenty of derby fixtures.

At the minute they are a bit out of form, have got a couple of injuries, a manager who is reportedly unhappy and seem to sliding back to mid table obscurity and didn’t strengthen notably in January. However they’ll have a big and noisy crowd backing them, will be up for revenge and will be fighting hard for every ball.

We are flying at the minute, have got a better first XI as attested to by the respective league positions, a stronger all round squad that has been significantly strengthened in the transfer window.

On paper it should be a fairly routine win but with it being a derby game there are a lot more variables in play and I think it’ll be a tight nervy game and not much in it. I’d take 3 point and run for the hills with them

We won at both away , so shouldn't be short of confidence, Preston players may be targeting fa cup quarter final more as they are miles off being prem ready
same for Bristol city.

so 7 is only the same as 4, youd rather see a 4-0 than a 7-3

Id understand an owl trying to hide the fact they shipped 7 in a derby, pretending 4-0 is better

 

[1066blade]

No. I said 7-3 is not mathematically bettervthsn 4-0. In fact on goals conceded it's worse. Do the maths... oh you don't grasp that do you, just forget it.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

 

[John Street West Terrace]

2-1 Blades ..Hamer & Campbell

 

[MKY]

Less confident than I was prior to last nights result. We look in need of a break & big question marks over the fitness of a few key players. Think we’ll lose if the midfield is as awol as it was Vs Bristol City. The unclean will be buoyed having come back from 2 down to win Vs Norwich.

 

[INTAKE BLADE]

3.2 Blades

 

[Shawy24]

4-0 Loss. One of Peck, Robinson Choudhury Anel or Cooper sent off.

 

[chesblade]

Must admit I think they will beat us, hope I'm wrong

 

[UddersBlade]

0-0 or 1-0 either way……usual fast and furious stuff with little football played….

 

[ATL Recs]

It’s likely we drop out of the top two Saturday they will be highly charged on and off the pitch to keep us there plus a chance to improve fading hopes of making the play offs
All the pressure will be on us
0-2 loss I’m not looking forward to going at all

 

[Bladeloyal]

I thought this was a blades forum

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

I'm happy with how it's set up

They won't win those 2 away games and follow it up by beating us as well

But they are way overdue to score against us

I think it'll be a better game than every other boring slugfest recently

Score draw likely. They'll probably equalise after we sit back in absolute terror for 75 minutes

 

[NateDogg]

They have the second worst home record in the entire league by the way.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

I've felt really confident about it, but I thought we looked knackered last night and Wednesday might have a bit of confidence after their last couple of wins.

I thought we'd shithouse a classic 0-1 Blades win on the road, but with the fatigue and injuries we're carrying I'll go for a 1-1.

I think we'll draw to Coventry too and might be playing catch-up a bit thereafter, but our run-in does get a bit easier and hopefully we go to Burnley with it still in our own hands.

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Not worried at all about that shower of shit. 2 nil.

Coventry are nowhere near as good as Bristol C….. think we’ll beat them after a much needed 2 week break.

 

[derfblade.3]

My Wendy mates seem so cock sure about them beating us on Sunday.
Have they not seen the league table?
Do they not know that we have won more games than anyone this season?
Do they not see that we can play badly and still win?
Do they know that we have amassed 28 points from the last 36 available?
Are they thinking they will win cus they just beat Norwich and Plymouth?

I reckon they are in for a rude awakening.
We are a good side and have been up there all season and Wilder will have our lads ready to go out there and show them why we have been top 2/3 all season.

Forget the late goals conceded to Weeds and last night and get behind the boys.
UTB and FTP!

 

[DifferentClass]

Heart says BBD hat trick, head says yet more disappointment.

 

[wavy-blade]

Wendy can score more than 1 goal , we’re in trouble !!!!

 

[robbiez666]

I predict well be 1:0 up after 65 minutes and then we'll just try and hold it. I predict injury time heartbreak.

 

[Sheffsteel]

We have better players than them…if we click then we win and there’s nothing they can do to stop us.

Think we’ll concede because I’m not confident about our defence. Think we’ll score because we always do.
Logic suggests Owls 1 Blades 2
But could also be a 1-1 draw.

Now that we only drew against Bristol City it puts us under more pressure to win….so think we’ll win 2-1.

 

[Toronto Blade]

I can't see them parking the bus to be honest but my fear is

A draw is of no use to us we need the 3 points we will get them.

They have the second worst home record in the entire league by the way.

 

[GymClassHero]

Think we will grind out a scrappy 1 nil win, probably a moment of brilliance from Campbell or Hamer.
