[tyke1889]

I wonder how many times both Sheffield and both Bristol teams have played each other at the same time?

 

[Menage a petit pois]

The most important game next week for this club. Period. The players are fully aware as JLT reinforced in his post match sufc TV interview. I'm shaking like a shitting dog and it's only Sunday ffs.

Never happened before

Fun fact: Bristol City won the Welsh Cup in 1934.

 

[Harry's Game]

Bristol City 1988.. our first entry into playoff hell….

Welsh Cup my arse.

I'm not familiar with the slang but no thank you anyway.

It's the Welsh version of "2 girls, 1 cup"

Looking online, we’ve not sold well for this..at all, possibly one of the lowest gates of the season- disappointing considering where we are in the league

 

[YoungBlade31]

If Anel’s wife just happens to give birth at 8pm tomorrow (yes she still hasn’t given birth) then I’d rather Clark CB and Baldock RWB. Bogle is shocking at the moment

Clark over Bash? Assuming he is past his old man syndrome.. but either way 100% agree, not sure what's up with him since he's come back from injury but watching him try all of those skills and then either trip over himself or cross it into the stands has been frustrating

Looking online, we’ve not sold well for this..at all, possibly one of the lowest gates of the season- disappointing considering where we are in the league

Probably less than 100 left in family stand, about 3 in BL corner, 10 in family corner, 3 in south stand

Think those Kop tickets will defo sell tomorrow night

It's mostly upper tier really, same story all season

 

[Bladeloyal]

I'm sure the purse strings have had a almighty tug of late .

 

[Jolly Buffer]

Expensive few weeks for a lot of fans. Season tickets, Wembley tickets + travel, successive home games, Easter holidays etc. Some will choose Red Button when money's tight. Big big game this one and needs a big effort from the fans to help the lads get those three points.

 

[Harry's Game]

I hope these rumours of a low attendance tomorrow are just a bit of pig mischief making, for me this game is the most important game since Ipswich at home in the promotion season, we need all the fans absolutely up for it, a win tomorrow and we could be almost as good as up.. however a defeat and the very real prospect looms we could be In third place by the time we play our next league game, albeit with two games in hand but those would be against a hot and cold WBA and Colin’s Huddersfield.. tricky ones.

 

[Pegster]

Still have nightmare-like visions of their young midfielders drifting past Flecky last time out . Thankfully , on this occasion , he should be wrapped in cotton wool , ready for the big game on Saturday

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Anel should need a very good excuse not to play tonight

But if for about the 20th time this season he's missing again, get Clark in for him and shove Robinson to LWB

I just don't want to see Bogle or Lowe on the pitch

 

[United Aren't Back.]

I feel quite worried about the match tonight it must be admitted. Always seem to struggle v Bristol City and also it would not be Sheffield United if we didn't almost screw it up before finally getting there

If his wife is in labour at hospital, he rightly won't be there, like on Saturday.

 

[YES Blade]

If his wife is in labour at hospital, he rightly won't be there, like on Saturday.

I doubt he’ll have trained since Friday so even if the baby is born by early afternoon, it’s likely he’ll only be on the bench at best.

 

[blade too long]

a win tonight puts us on 82 points
boros max is 83 luton 86 if they win every game
wednesday night sees

• Middlesbrough 20:00 Hull City
• Reading 20:00 Luton Town
• not easy games
• then on monday night
• Luton v Middlesboro
• a boro win could see us go up if they both draw or lose on wednesday in as gd will be only difference
• and we are double figures better than luton and level with boro

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

If she's ok and they are just waiting, he'll be available, just on call to dash off.

Wouldnt mind seeing Bogle in midfield sometime

Trained yesterday according to Hecky

Boooo……poor attitude, get GCB sold to Vitol immediately

 

[ben1987]

Norwood on the pre-match artwork so wouldn’t be surprised to see him starting

Are you suggesting wanting to attend the birth of your first child is not a good excuse?

 

[South Sea Blade]

Yeah........sometime around July.

I would hope Doyle and McAtee start. They can’t play Saturday so may as well use them now.
