Steve Hodge says Sheffield United not good enough

[FATTYFOULKE]

Ex Forest and Leeds player, and now match analyst for BBC Radio Nottingham Steve Hodge predicts Sheffield United will drop away and goes on to name about half the league as top six contenders.

“It’s too close to call the final top six but Leeds, Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, Norwich, Derby, Stoke, West Bro and Middlesbrough will be fighting it out to the death with Sheffield United the ones to fade.

“I think Sheffield United will falter, I don’t think they’ve got the fire-power or the depth of squad to really push when it comes to March, April when you’ve got to win three or four games on the spin.

“I see a Championship game every weekend so I know a lot about the League. It’s great to watch, I love it, love the league”

So there you have it, hope this gets pinned on the dressing room wall.

He could be right, let’s see. Problem with this punditry lark you have an opinion and some people will agree with you.

 

[Ranmoorblade]

Dear Mr Wilder, can you please pin this on the dressing room wall every game.

Fire power that is currently fifth best in the league. He's a dick.

Don’t get uptight about it. A mans opinion, he is entitled to it. He might be right. I don’t think he will be but that’s my opinion, does that make me a dick?

I think you will find that many believe the Blades will fade away. Lets hope CW and the squad prove them wrong this season.

Oasis faded away , one trick pony unlike The Blades. Much more to come from us.

Most of us were saying the same pre season

 

[Blade82]

Forest must be sacking Karanka & appointing Wilder as manager then

 

[Carlton Blade]

Forest, Villa and Stoke are 7, 8 and 10 points behind us. Unlikely to all go past us. We may fall away but he's just saying teams he's heard of.

And if I could find the odds I'd bet on us to finish above Norwich. Massive regression coming

And he lost Maradona for that goal.

Quite so. But anyone who makes sweeping predictions about the top 6 before the ins and outs of the January window is courageous at best, and a bloody fool at worst.

Plus ... we've got Chris Wilder AND Billy Sharp.

So, bollox

Quite happy with his comments rather be the underdog

Steve Hodge can suck my dick.

 

[Large Mendonca]

As they say, opinions are like Arseholes .........

 

[Rob86]

He might be right he might be wrong. I think we need another striker and fortune with injury to get top 6.

We aren’t entitled to be in the top 6, nor should we think that, a fact that, in my opinion, has made the atmosphere in the last 2 games !

Cardiff weren’t the 2nd best team in the division last year, their fans knew that, and the atmosphere was very good down there for home games.

13 cup finals left at the Lane for support ! The away games always seem to be decent.

Who is Steve Hodge and why does his opinion matter?

 

[FATTYFOULKE]

Who is Steve Hodge and why does his opinion matter?

First paragraph of OP tells you who he is.

Nobody says his opinion matters, but some might be interested to hear what he has to say.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Dear Mr Wilder, can you please pin this on the dressing room wall every game.

Exactly this. No better motivation than some idot saying you aren't good enough, prove him wrong Blades.

 

[FATTYFOULKE]

I seem to think this isn’t the first time he’s made derogatory comments about United, but I can’t quite remember what it was he said and when.

 

['Doc' Pace my hero]

Fire power that is currently fifth best in the league. He's a dick.

Joint 4th now,only Norwich,West Brom & Villa scored more than us....it's all about opinion,Difference is that Hodge gets paid for his.

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

It would've been far more noteworthy (rather than Nosworthy) if a pundit had actually said, Sheffield United will stay the course and get promoted. Most think we'll fade to mid-table, most on here think that as well.

 

[Coily]

If his sample size was our game at Forest then I'm not surprised he thinks we'll fade away as we were crap that day.

I'm quite happy for him and everyone else to write us off, means fuck all.
