Match Thread The Mighty Blades v Bradford City

[Not_a_Cheat]

BRING ON THE CHAMPIONS, BRING ON THE CHAMPIONS...... In front of the Sky cameras, and an ecstatic crowd as we welcome Bradford City, who are sure to be well supported too. Not an easy match by any means, but I guarantee you that Bradford would prefer to be playing ANYbody else in a league fixture this afternoon. The atmosphere is sure to be something special today, and hopefully we can take a further step to the final goal of the season...... 100 points.

Anyway.....

Any team news?

Surely the strongest first 11, where available, have to start?

CW will choose who that is...

So the dilemma is Clarke or Hanson?

Quick snippet of stats as we chase our 15th game unbeaten,

The Blades have lost just one of their last 21 league games against Bradford (W11 D9), going down 0-2 in August 2013.

The Bantams haven't won a league game at Bramall Lane since April 1988, drawing five and losing five since.

Sheffield United have won each of their last four at home in League One, scoring twice in each match.

Bradford have lost nine of their last 12 away league games contested on a Monday, but have won the last two (W3).

After scoring seven goals in seven games at Bramall Lane, Billy Sharp hasn't scored in his last three there.

So let's see how that all pans out. Enjoy the days guys and hopefully an entertaining 3-2 Blades win....

Do we get a guard of honour?

Billy's scoring today.

Had the strangest dream about this game last night, we'd tried doing some sort of celebration with big screens around the whole ground (as in the size/width of the stands, rather than beamback esque) and fireworks, and the electric cut out and we had to play in the dark. There was also no greasy chip butty at kick off. Baffling. I need a psychiatrist for that one.

Controlled relaxed football can't beat it.

What are those things down the back of a few of the lads' shirts? Between the shoulder blades, you can see a bump, definitely on Duffy and O'Connell

Pity we had to do Bolton a favour.
Come on fleetwood.
