We are clearly streets ahead of them
However the last time the Pork were top dogs 32 years ago, we did the double over them
So in a one off match owt can happen
Its all about how we handle the long thtows, set pieces and Bannan hoofs
 

It'll be a close game where not much happens. United will have one or two short spells of dominance, will likely score in one of them. Then will sit deep and defend the box
 
If there is 1 game you should be hesitant to predict, it is this one. I fancied a narrow result either way last time, whilst being quietly confident we would have enough to win, and I was right. The chances are that this will be the same but I wouldn't bet a large amount of money on any result.

A lot may depend on who is fit, but if we only put most of our best 11 out, I am genuinely struggling to see one position on the pitch where they have better quality than us. The occasion and the adrenaline always tends to be a leveller in these games however.

In terms of the managers, well Wilder knows how to win these and hasn't lost in 5 meetings. To say that he and the players will be fired up is an understatement. Rohl is still new to the game, but will want revenge for November and the subsequent shenanigans.

And I will just add that I am still not buying this assertion that all the pressure is on us, not one bit. They are at home, where they are normally crap, still have a sniff of the playoffs and the usual overconfidence has crept in amongst their fanbase. They will have to attack us and if we nullify them or score early like in the 2-4 match, the atmosphere is likely to change. Whereas away we are generally very hard to beat and our away support is always loud and buoyant. Both teams need something from the match, and neither will want to lose. Pressure will be everywhere.
 
A draw I think will be the result .. which for our top 2 ambitions won’t be good enough with red hot in form Coventry up next.
 
We will go 1-0 up after 20 mins then spend 50 mins on the back foot. After we run out of steam Wilder will bring on 5 defensive players. We will concede and finish 1-1 or 1-2.
 
I predict a nice win for the blades but because it's grinded out won't be good enough for some of our "fan base" so a moral victory to real midweek fc
 
Sadly comfortable home win.
They're flying, have a lot of motivation after losing last time out and we have nowt in midfield without Souza.
The nightmare playoff will be on after Sunday.

Hardly flying they’ve lost 3 of their last 5. They’re shite and we should go at em but Derby’s can be tense, unless they score first I can see another close low score game that could go either way.

their not flying at home mate i would have been more nervous if this game had been at the lane added incentive along with the 3 points if we win is that that would be their play off hopes finished

At the very very very back of my mind I have this same thought but we should win
 

United take lead first 20 and sit deep and defend ( wilder master plan) subs our best players and concede 2 90+ goals !
But surely we learned our lesson ( Leeds , Brizzy ) right ? RIGHT ???

"Flying"?

😂
 
we'll try and defend 1 goal lead for 60 minutes. may hold on. may concede late. already having a mild heart attack thinking about it.
 
Sydie peck to go through bannan early get blood flowing, united to get another fine after game. 1-0 united shithouse win
 
My only prediction is that I won’t enjoy a minute of it until the final whistle goes and we have won. Their monumentally clownish fan base can view any result as a victory, so even a win is no guarantee they won’t claim the bragging rights. I suspect anything over 5 might get them to admit they were well beaten, but even then it would be all about parachute payments.
The thought of them winning, and the aftermath doesn’t bear thinking about!
 
Got a feeling this will be a draw. I'd love us to really go at them, but I think it's going to be cagey.

We have already beaten them so affectively have one over them - they have a chance to even it up. Imaging if they win though, it will mean the world to their dwindling existance. It's their cup final and they need to win it at all costs because they have nothing else to play for this season.

This is their best chance at beating us while sausage is still there - he'll be gone by the start of next season so back to sqaure one for them.

There are a lot of tongue in cheek predictions in this thread, in comparison to their prediction thread - it's remarkable and so predictable. They never ever learn from past derby experiences and still dine out on Boxing Day 46 years ago FFS 😂

Again, I'm wanting the win (obvs) but I'm predicting a hard fought draw - it can and often goes any other way though!

Just off to prepare my area behind the settee for Sunday from where I'll be watching 😂

UTB
FTP
 
I'm leaning towards a 1-1 draw.

We've won our last five away league games.

We haven't won six consecutive away games since 1892-93.
 
Tight game 1-1 after 75 bring on rak-sakyi & coh they run at a tired defence we get a penalty win 2-1
