Match Thread Sheffield United v. VfB Stuttgart - 5th August 2023

[HarryHaslam]

Any idea of the team we put out mate?

No, not even 100% on the score line but I got a txt from someone saying 3-0.

 

[TJB.]

Can anyone confirm/corroborate what I've just seen on Twitter, which is that Brewdog came on for 15 mins in the behind-closed-doors game and scored?

 

[Snowflake]

Have a look at what we have brought in already!

4 quality young players, to strengthen the squad. What is now needed are 3 or 4 capable of being in the match 11.

Have we found some magic beans on way home

Perhaps using Euros would be better !
I assume that you are not expecting any quality arriving: if you are right then we are in for a poor season, but Hecky seems to think some will and I guess he is more ITK than the rest of us.

I hope you are correct but not holding much hope

Won 3-0, Brewster didn’t play, Seriki, Norwood (pen) and Marsh were the scorers

Seems like there’s lots of bed-wetting going on. Personally I’d rather we looked shit in pre-season and prevented our players from getting injured, especially given our history with the Shirecliff Sniper, but apparently we should be treating every pre-season nothing game like a cup final and our players putting their bodies on the line.

I'd kinda like to see a striker score at least one goal in all of our preseason games combined. Almost 8 hours without a goal from a striker.

Norwood PLEEEEEAAAAASSSSSSSE Stop taking penaltys.

 

[raimond]

which one

The one I literally quoted. The brilliantly profound "Next week's a different day altogether".

Ot is a different scenario...full house points at stake playing 19 other clubs most of whom have lost pre season friendlies

 

[Balti Pie]

Would anyone be kind enough to sell me a program from today’s game please? I’m not a collector or owt - my little lad was gutted that we couldn’t get one outside the ground on the way in, and when we asked in the family stand concourse at half time they’d all sold out.
Thanks in advance.

Many thanks - I’ve just ordered one
I never knew that service existed.

Lots elsewhere knocking Larouci. We all see matches differently but I thought Larouci had a decent game he has some pace and can cross and unlike the Derby game we did actually progress down the left.

I was disappointed with Traore, and also barely saw anything of Slimane

Can some tell me who the first sub was? [Deadbat where are you?]

Hackford for Traore.

I was very more disappointed with Slimane than i was Larouci yesterday appreciate pre season but i hope he isn't one that is a 2 in 10 in terms of decent performances. I'm sure fans of his previous club stated can go missing in game's. Time will tell. UTB

Their center forward looked great wish we had someone like that

Any idea of the team we put out mate?

And did Stuttgart play the team that was already knackered from the first game ?
Or did they bring 2 teams ?

 

[ShorehamRevolution]

I hope they’ve brought waterproofs of a good percentage are off to the coach and horses too.

After the Sheffield fc cancellation it appears they decided to stay in the cricketers, we got drinking with the bloody German alco’s I’ve a new found hatred for Germans, they’re like fish. They wouldn’t let us buy a pint the only problem was they wanted a fresh one every 3 minutes, At one point the whole pub erupted in to cheering and singing, our new found German friends informed us a stuttgart fan had put 100 pints behind the bar !

 

[FriethBlade]

How many did Stuttgart bring

Larouci had lots of worrying bits, but if you just watch the highlights he did some decent stuff.
So hopefully it's in there, just need to see more of it right through the game.

They brought two teams,the 1st X1 ,and the Stuttgart Ladies team,who ,may I add,we beat handsomely behind closed doors !!

6 for Wes?

Let one in at the near post (sorry, call me old school).

Let one in just above where he was standing.

Maybe harsh but I don't expect a top flight keeper to be conceding all three of those.

I could be in terrible trouble if I replied to that so I daren’t risk it
