Another set with no confidence. Are we really that good ?

"We’ve are trending down”

Even those who are fluent in footballer-speak will surely denounce that as grammatical torture. I've reported it to Amnesty International.

I fear these sorts of mid week away games. They’ve just lost 3-0 in their derby so I expect a reaction as they’ll not want the crowd on their backs. We’ve got the players and tools to win this comfortably but if they show any sort of fire in their bellies it could be a slog. Bad timing to play these I’d say.

 

[Tom Bott]

Will be a piss poor atmosphere/probably 12 k crowd and against a side with more to play for than the one from the piggery.”

The piggery...

Cheers Roy.

Apparently Swansea are playing Norwich this weekend. Will be like a rematch of the West Germany v Austria game at the 1982 World Cup,

 

[Cappy]

Cheers Roy. I didn't realise he is potentially on the brink of the sack. Not sure if that's good or bad

Agree……I’m going to check the stats on that match…….both teams are masters of tippy tappy keep possession football
Will either team actually take a shot at goal? It’s going to be a snore fest regards action in the penalty area. Surely it’s going to end 0-0.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Swansea 2 - 3 Sunderland.
Swansea 3 - 4 Leeds.

Tells us they're no pushovers at home, but the standard has been set by our rivals.
It's a game we should be winning.

They're in really poor form (as the comments show). An early goal could turn the place toxic and play into our hands.

A big opportunity for O'Hare.
Swansea, notoriously, like to overplay it in daft areas. His high press could lead to something.
We should have Seriki, Campbell & Brereton-Diaz all available on the bench if we're chasing something. Great options.

Norwich were comical on Saturday.

Except if we go one up it sounds like it will get really toxic. First goal could be very important

[Argentinemanager]

Cheers Panchero!

 

[FATTYFOULKE]

Don't opposition fans look at previous results and realise Sheffield United don’t do ‘pastings’

 

[BLADES1988]

Must say Roy, those targeted ads aren't messing around. I have been in the market for a Bruce Willis Silicone head and a lovely torn grey dress. But wanted Bruce Willis to be in the dress unfortunately.

[Speedracer]

Thanks Roy.

Ah come on Swans cheer up & remember to always look on the bright side of life.

 

[XH536]

Sad Swansea.
Expect a win, but as someone once said "football's a funny old game".
Hope my expectations aren't too high. 0-1 win.
Thank you Roy.

 

[SirNibletsO'Korne]

Thanks Roy. Are this lot on suicide watch because if they aren't, they really should be...

 

[N20 Blade]

The only time I've seen United play Swansea was May 89, the last home game of the season. 5-1 I think and Alan Knill was their centre half, but can't remember if Wilder was playing?

[Jimmy Fleck]

Never bodes well when the comments are negative about their side. Will be a tough game, but we need to win.

 

[Chimpan-A]

Makes you realise how lucky we are - I know we have had two bad premier league relegations but inbetween that it’s been great being a Blade for the last 9 years or so. There are so many Championship clubs mired in tedious mid-table limbo.

 

[Lord Eddard Muir]

Another set with no confidence. Are we really that good ?

It's less about us and more about them getting gubbed 3-0 at Cardiff which would have been a terrible result for anyone, let alone their big Welsh rivals.

It's the sort of result you usually get some kind of bounceback reaction after, but this lot don't sound like they expect one.

Supporting the likes of Swansea, PNE, Millwall, etc. must be hard work. The odd good run but never a chance of the play-offs. Unlikely to get relegated, but never fully comfortable. I think Norwich have transitioned to this limbo status too, judging on Saturday's performance and chatting with their fans on the train home. Tedious stuff.
