He might be ill but was never playing anyway

 

[Fatlad666]

1-3 Blades

Anel is definitely the sort to throw his toys out the pram and sulk to force a move.

My assumption is that is who Wilder was referring to in his pre-match.

We're still really lacking in depth. We really need to have a busy week if we're intending on challenging for the autos.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Time to break their long streak of home wins !

Their current streak of home wins is zero.

 

[Toronto Blade]

OOPPS make that undefeated in19 games

Why, what did he say?

 

[Agreasychipbutty]

No anel and Robby they injured?

I'd guess robbo injured and anel off to Ipswich, if they'd been dropped they'd be on the bench

 

[71Blade]

Anal flu

Is that contagious?

 

[Dkc]

Foxy game selected for CBS in USA just fyi

Yep, Saturday, Aug. 24 (10 a.m. ET CBS Sports Golazo, Paramount +)

Not sure elther is accessible via IPTV

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Anel sick....sick of playing for Wilder. Misses losing every week , Ipswich can help him with that. Gone by Monday, replacement in Tursday. Maybe.

 

[Frankie as in Howard]

Same here. Also struggling.

Just can’t understand these comments and links to streams, I just go tv on, source- Amazon stick, scroll down to championship, scroll down to Sheffield United, never miss a game.
All for £75 per annum, great pic and great commentary

 

[Sheffsteel]

3rd game of the league, at what point does Wilder say they need more time to gel? This should, should!!, be the game that we play more than 20 minutes of great stuff. High press, check. plenty of wing play and delivery I to the vox, check.

We’ve again had a strategy where most of the incoming arrived late, so they’ve not had a pre-season together. 2 players joined this week and probably 2 more will arrive before the end of next week.

Due to the transfer window being open part way into the season….then I’d say the time to gel excuse runs out at the end of September. We should be fully up to speed, settled and hopefully well drilled by then.

Agree, it we play at our best then we’ll win, man for man we’re better than them, just need to cut out stupid defensive errors.

To answer my own post above, I’m watching now Blades warming up, but on Norwich version

 

[Isar]

Of course I would like to see a win for us today, but think a draw is on the cards. Still unbeaten in the Championship.
2:2

Also other teams need "time to gel" or does it only ever apply to us?

 

[Shadota]

The mythical "illness" strikes. It's like how that fella "Triallist" always scores so many goals in friendlies.

 

[loyalblade95]

Chance for Souttar and Trusty to stake a claim to stay in starting 11. Souza starting should suggest that he's staying as well.

Nice to see Campbell on bench as well, so at least he's got up to speed and fitness quickly.

 

[Sheffsteel]

Agree…it works both ways.
However we’ve had a bigger turnover of new players than any other team and many of them only met up a few week back. So in theory we need more time that other clubs.

Think this is a big match for Trusty. He was excellent for Birmingham at this level but struggled badly in the PL (didn’t all the defenders). His confidence might have taken a hit but now’s his chance to build it back up again and stake a place.

Looking week defensively down our left

A few teams had big shakeups this summer.

Hull, Leeds and QPR all had more outgoings than us.

 

[Aston max]

2-1 Norwich … we go ahead , back off and conceed 2 without being able to get going again

CW annoys me with the sitting back after taking the lead tactics (hecky was the same) we have teams by the throat sometimes and instead of going for it we seem to just try putting 11 behind the ball

 

[Toronto Blade]

I wish they would kill those round the grounds interruptions

If it happens again today then I feel, yes it will piss alot off, Wilder will feel some pressure from the "new" owners.
