The pains in our collective a*se

[Swannyblade]

With us due to face Preston's perennial thorn in our side, Daniel Johnson this evening, who are the other players that always seem to raise their game against the Blades?

Some that immediately spring to mind are Robert Snodgrass, Jake Cooper and the sharpest thorn of them all, Kevin Pressman. Any others?

Kevin Drinkell

 

[Alan Birchenall's hair]

Used to be Mark Duffy. Then we signed him....

 

[jt64]

I can't say I've ever heard the name Daniel Johnson before?

 

[Champagneblade]

Oli McBurnie.

He was a pain in the ass when he played against us for Swansea.

He’s a pain in the ass now he plays for us. Sorry, when he feels like being available to play for us.

 

[Varkanoid]

Che Adams

 

[MagnifiqueShorehamStreet]

Che Adams

Used to be Leon Clarke until we signed him.

 

[CPB]

Liam Cooper continues to be a thorn in our side

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Carl Fucking Shutt

 

[sheepbridge]

Mark Ward. Another annoying little …

 

[sheepbridge]

Oh, and Andy Johnson. Another annoying little …

got a theme going here

 

[Sharrow Snuff Mill]

Someone who used to play for Stocksbridge and Halifax, but now plays for Leicester.

We should have signed him when he was at Oldham just to stop him playing well against us.

 

[Deadly_D'Jaffo]

Kevin Phillips seemed to score against us.

Kevin Pressman relished the Derby games and would drop clangers immediately before or after.

Leon Clarke did well for and against us.

Daniel Johnson doesn’t just turn it on against us, he’s good every week.

Impossible to conceive - a midfielder who creates, scores and can tackle. Wish we had him.

 

[Alan Birchenall's hair]

For the older contributors, John Aston and Ron Futcher.

 

[S64 Blade]

Jack Robinson; the enemy within.

Akinbiyi always seemed to have a good game against us. Also, Darren Huckerby, Andy Reid, Marlon Harewood, Lee Hughes and more recently that Turkish lad at Walsall, who’s name evades me.

Beggars belief we've never signed him. Always rated him. He was unplayable in the reverse fixture at the lane.

 

[Whiston Blade]

Kevin Pressman always had a good game against us. I always thought Marlon Harewood had good games against us too.

 

[Aganarama]

Marco Gabbiadini.

 

[Blade for Sale]

Paul Walsh for Spurs always seemed to score against us in the top flight under Bassett.

 

[Gin&Juice]

Lee Hughes, Steve Bull and Marlon Harewood always did well against us.

In League 1 there were some ridiculous thorns in our side. I count the Walsall team of 2011 - 2015 as one of them, specifically that Turkish lad. Ryan Woods both for Shrewsbury and Brentford.

 

[Bell4]

Billy Sharp

 

[coaxingstar71]

I believe statistically it's Paul Gallagher formerly of Preston.

In the bad/sad days of League One it seemed to be Oztumer of Peterboro then Walsall.

For a centre half, Jake Cooper has got an impressive record against us.

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

Terry Curran, Alan Shearer, Jack Robinson for his tackle for Derby on Saturday, Bobby Moore would be proud.

First time I saw Daniel Johnson play was for Aston Villa youth team against the Blades in the 2011 youth cup semi final.

He was easily Villa's stand out performer and probably deserves to be playing in the Premier League.

 

[Red Hot Currie]

Gordon Hobson (Grimsby Town in the early-mid 1980s).... always, always, always scored against us.....

Preston signed him for next to nothing back in 2015, very good player I'm surprised he's not moved on.

 

[Houston_Blade]

Steve Bull, Marlon Harewood, David Johnson, Lewis Grabban, Marcus Tudgay, Shefki Kuqi, Leon Clarke, RIchard Sneekes, Aden Flint off the top of my head.
