Match Thread Sheffield United v. Wrexham - 30th October 2026

[Snowflake]

Up to speed , turn of phrase, got himself up to match fitness.
He was great last night, he won't be the fastest at 40 years old, but gave us an extra edge.

Agreed.

Enjoyed that, a deserved 3 points after a good first half and professional second half.

They were awful, whoever their fitness coach is needs sacking. They made us look like a squad of svelte athletes.

Thought there might be some sliver of a reason we played them off the park.

 

[RandomBlade]

The only slight quibble is that Burrows was below par and tended to turn backwards too often - I would have given Sam some minutes

Clown.

 

[RandomBlade]

3 points move on again . Doom and gloom can cry tonight. And spend the weekend looking at freeman's catalogue.

All noticable by their absence on here after an excellent win and performance. Back under their stones where they belong.

Another tactical masterclass by Wilder. Come on doom merchants and the anti Wilder flock, lets be avin ya!

What a load of baloney.
People who love & support are perfectly entitled to ask for better decisions from the manager and performances from the team.
Sir Christopher heard what he arrogantly refers to as "noise from playstation managers" ,
Followed it ,
And hey presto , a performance that was 1000 times better than last week ,
Despite Bamford being unavailable.

Here's me thinking the players, manager and staff deserve some credit for that win, but no I was wrong.
It's all down to you and your ilk with your expertly crafted tactical insight and selection prowess that has influenced our stubborn, mardy dinosaur of a manager.
Bravo sir

This type of rhetoric is just tiresome.

 

[Blade In Flame]

This type of rhetoric is just tiresome.

It is. Any doom and gloomer worth their salt knows that the Grattans catalogue was way superior for that.

Grattans catalogue or Wilder calendar? Vote!

Pleased with the result, and first half performance in particular was excellent. There was a major improvement in the level of effort put in, especially in how we pressed in the final 3rd. We put them under the cosh, forced a bunch of errors, and dominated play for an extended period as a result. Such an improvement on the passive, timid approach we've seen in prior games.

I wanted to give Ayew some credit on the goal. He makes a smart run to reach the ball ahead of the defence, but what he does after that is even better for me. His first touch takes him into space in the box, but away from goal.



The fact that he manages to get a shot on target from this position, having never looked at the goal after bringing the ball down, is a major sign of his ability. It's tremendously difficult to accurately gauge your position relative to the goal while not facing it, so him managing to do so is very impressive. We obviously benefit from here by the keeper making a pigs ear of the save, but credit to BBD for being right place, right time to turn in the rebound.

Absolutely did enough first half where a bigger lead wouldn't have been unfair. It's a shame we couldn't maintain that early intensity, but they were so poor that us letting off the throttle didn't ultimately matter. I was a bit tense through the 2nd half though - while we were comfortable, any small mistake on our part, or piece of good fortune on theirs, would have cost us 2 points that we certainly deserved.

Hopefully we can continue to perform like last night, especially that first 30 mins or so. I'd really like for us to be able to expand that intensity to a greater portion of a match too - better teams than Wrexham will cause us a bunch of problems if we ease off like we did in the 2nd half last night.

Overall, many positives to take from ut though. Donovan was excellent, thought Chong did okay too. Hopefully that's just a starting point for improved performances.
