Roy's View From... Pre-Match View From Wednesday

[Robby Blade]

Wi Cannon scoring 26 of them.

Steady on, that's taking it too far.

The balance of power is dramatically changing.
It won't be too long before we are dominating the city again.
You’ll want one last dig before the tide potentially turns.
This is hopefully the last season they get to lord it over us

Er.........is it only me whose getting a sense of deja vu again? Didn't we hear delusion like this year's ago when Chansiri took over . It never happened then and is unlikely to happen this time either.

As for looking to avenge Boxing Day I think we've done that on at least two occasions. Once courtesy of Bobby Davison. And once when we were just a pub team on Bouncing Day courtesy of Mark Duffy.

I m guessing they will thrash us nil nil again. Watch out for shirts being thrown into the crowd.

Their reaction at the end of their nil nil win of The Cowards Derby has to go down as one of the most embarrassing spectacles ever seen at The Lane. Look out for a repeat on Sunday.

One of the worst things about these games now is how we never win anymore
I mean no matter the result they always take the moral victory

Nil nils and narrow defeats get standing ovations ,wider margins are dismissed as you should have hammered us

They've already downplayed this one to a level never seen before even though they have as much chance of winning as we do

No doubt come Sunday afternoon they will be celebrating a moral victory while we have to settle for three points

You only have to see the meltdown on Owlstalk after our 1-0 at their place in March. They can play it down all they like but they fucking hate it and it hurts them when we beat them.

2 goal victories down count.

Let’s have it straight, they’re “bricking it” that we’ll do another 2-4 at their place. The best day of my footballing life due to the circumstances and the guff coming from them pre-game. Think the pre-match view from is more them having learnt their lesson to be fair, they haven’t beaten us in fucking ages (apart from the 0-0 win at The Lane) so they’re quite rightly playing their chances down (even though we’re second from bottom and in terrible form). They’ve finally learnt that giving it Billy bollocks like in 2016 can fly back in their face. They’ve also learnt they are not the city’s best club (finally, it’s been a while).

 

[Kabba Kabba Doo]

One thing I've noticed, is they think we should expect to beat them because our squad is worth more, much like they did in 2017, because that's pigonomics, more money = more good.

Whereas we're far more realistic, can see we've completely spunked money up the wall and left ourselves with a squad lacking quality and character, the latter is so crucial in derby games, unfortunately from the outside looking in they seem to have a lot more character and fight than us, hence why a lot of Blades are quite apprehensive going into this.

So unless we win by a clear 3,000 goals we have failed.

They should have more chance, without a points deduction I believe they would be above us...

Yeah I agree ,they have shown more fight and commitment to their club

We will probably win but I don't get the impression any of our players give a shit either way .

That’s what worries me about this one. If our lot approach this in the same way they have every game this season, then it feels like we could well lose. We’ve been spineless, weak, lazy & riddled with errors all season. If Wilder can’t get them fired up for this one it won’t bode well for any potential relegation scrap.

 

[Montymagic]

So they are saying even if we thrash them we haven't really won, anything less than a 0-4 defeat for them is a win OK. logic at it's finest.

Been this way since we mentally crushed them on bouncing day.

Its how they cope now, bless em.

Nail on head with this quote.
If we don't win this one it will look more and more likely we are in a relegation battle. A battle we rarely if ever win.
