Match Thread Sheffield United v. Wrexham - 30th October 2026

[10p]

Sydie’s played really well, as have most of them.

 

[PrestwichBlade]

Good that, well done

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[Keen Blade]

The only slight quibble is that Burrows was below par and tended to turn backwards too often - I would have given Sam some minutes

 

[Blade In Flame]

3 subs needed asap
Choudhury Phillips and Ayew off
Seriki McGuinness Arblaster/Reidewald on

Donovan BBD
Chong
Burrows Arblaster Reidewald Seriki
Kitching McGuiness Tanganga
Cooper

Phillips makes Captain Clown look like Mr Reliable

We have gone from two wippets as the attacking freekick sweepers
Brooks and Seriki
who can tackle
to two statues
who are an accident waiting to happen
Phillips and Choudhury
Moronic pairing

We led last year twice
and anyone intelligent can see it going the same way
WITHOUT CHANGES

I predict NO changes

Is it to Nobody Does It Better by Carly Simon?

 

[FriethBlade]

Very good performance. Looked much more balanced with that starting 11

 

[Cuypers]

Well played United. Fair play to Wilder for picking that side too. Shat myself shitless when the substitutions started happening but a terrific result.

Well done Wilder. Brave selection which many of us had urged. Unfortunately I fully expect the concentration to be on how well Choudhury played at full back. Just to prove us PS Managers wrong.

 

[espoo blade]

The only slight quibble is that Burrows was below par and tended to turn backwards too often - I would have given Sam some minutes

Thought he was mostly ok, started quite brightly with Donovan and unlucky not to have won a penalty.

Edit: He was quite lucky to escape a yellow for what looked like a clear pull back.

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Another CLEAN SHEET for Cooper tonight

 

[TheSecondComing]

Chrissy Wilder and one nil. Even tho Knills gone, we can still win one nil.

 

[Fatlad666]

1-2 Moore x2

Thoughts now please

 

[Jan Age]

On the first half we deserved it .. second half we made hard work of a basic Wrexham side.

First half showed just how much we lack that creativity and killer edge and that’s on the owners because the performance was good.

Donovan has proved he’s a starter , Phillips was good some times too slow on the ball but that will keep getting better and better.

BBD did nothing apart from score (important I know)

Ayew looked decent apart from inside 18 yard box but good control and best touches in the main.

Burrows was good too very influential going forward particularly first half.

Chong is a terrible footballer just nothing about him at all.

 

[stringjunior]

Yeh, good result and all that, BUT....

Let's talk about the big issue of the day. How on earth can Cooper wear a kit with the trefoil and traditional narrow Adidas stripes, whilst the rest of the team wear a kit with broad Adidas stripes and the Adidas Performance logo?

Outrageous. I'm outraged

 

[BritishSteel]

A big win for Wildersaurus Rex against Triparkinsaur.

 

[Fatlad666]

3 points move on again . Doom and gloom can cry tonight. And spend the weekend looking at freeman's catalogue.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Absolutely delighted for BBD. Great team effort, not brilliant to watch but exactly how we need to be playing for the near future at least. Together, committed,the definition of a team playing to win.
Appeal Kitching booking. Terrible decision.

 

[Blacksea]

Game of 2 halves that,you could tell how the second half was going to pan out right from the start.What we got right in the first half,they nullified it in the second and pushed us back,we got reduced to counter attacks and defending our box, maybe we tired,but it was a real struggle in the last half hour,we dug in and the ball didn't drop for them in our box,but we were hanging on.Ayew had that chance to put the game to bed,got to take them and be clinical,it could have cost us.

 

[William Large]

Decent game that. Should really have been out of sight by half time. They were fucking shite.

Big games for Ayew, BBD, Peck and BBD.
Phillips was superb again and we look so much better with him in the side.

Donovan as hoped and anticipated was a joy to watch.

I don’t want to jump on the Campbell bandwagon as I like the guy and he was great in his first season…. But fuck me he didn’t look arsed when he came on. All he had to do was close down for 10 minutes and run about a bit.

On the whole a good team performance, in truth they never looked coming close to scoring.

If we had come out of the blocks against Derby like that, we would have easily beaten them also.

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Big improvement on the Derby game and a much better atmosphere too. Nice to see BBD on the score sheet and Donovan ran them ragged in the first half.

 

[ComedyClub]

That first half was the best I've seen in nearly two years, second half a bit drab but I'll allow it after that first 45 mins. Brilliant.

 

[Cardiffwasthenight]

The only slight quibble is that Burrows was below par and tended to turn backwards too often - I would have given Sam some minutes

Was shouting the same at the TV,he does this all the time.
Given the ball in space to get forward then a nosebleed at halfway,turns and backwards or tried to give it to Donovan short with his back to goal.
2nd half was actually pretty poor as we didn’t really have a shot on target.
Should have been 2 or 3 first half when we were all over them.Think Donovan is a level above even at his age but give him a ball to run with and see what happens

I miss the freeman's catalogue & the women's underwear pages

 

[blades_95]

Decent performance, completely in control first half and would’ve been nice to put them to bed. Front two worked well together, BBD much better up top & Ayew had some nice touches dropping off. Still struggled to create too many clear chances but restricted Wrexham well, albeit they were poor.

Second hall dropped off & they nullified us a little and became a bit of a nothing game. Phillips & Donovan stood out, centre halves dealt well with Moore & Smith too.

Good win & hopefully build on it away at a poor PNE side!

It's difficult for Campbell to run with half a kilo of jam roly poly and custard sitting in his gut

 

[AnstonBlade1]

Thoughts now please

No idea not seen it guessing it was un inspiring stuff

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Thought we finished strongly against Derby and started in the same manor tonight then settled into a more normal game afterwards

Shame we didn't get the winner v Derby to make it a great week

 

[Esteban Cambiasso]

Good performance, Peck and Philips dominated midfield

 

[ben1987]

If there was one team I really wanted to beat this season it was these cunts.

Lovely job

Thought Philips and Peck were excellent.

 

[JHaber]

Enjoyed that. Other players were good tonight, but a fit Phillips is a game changer for us. Peck played really well but he isn't the only factor in him playing well, it's who he is playing with. We all feared the worst when Phillips went down after 20mins that it was the repeat scenario.
