U23s v Ipswich at the Lane

U23s, u18s, Women....3 of the 4 teams doing brilliant.

Even Beershot or whatever they are called doing well.

SUFC first team only a small part of Abdullah's United World (sounds like a carpet firm from the 90s to rival Mike's Carpets). You lot should remember that with all your doom and gloom 😘

On the whole things going great...just one side needs to improve a bit 😂

Then you compare them to the equivalent Pig teams..... 🤣
 
In contrast, there is a thread on Owlstalk outlining:

First team 24th out of 24.
U23s 9th out of 9.
U18s 9th out of 9.
Women's team bottom.

"Anyone that thinks Sheffield United are better than Sheffield Wednesday doesn't know anything about football!"

Well said that man!😉

Lovely finish from Brunt, and that ball from Cappello for the third is exactly what we're missing!

Big step up needed obviously, but why not

These lads are still very very young even compared to other U23’s sides on the one hand it makes what they’re doing all the more impressive on the other means that they’re at least 1-2 seasons away from pushing for first team places. I know people will say well if you’re good enough you’re old enough and whilst that’s true only the absolutely exceptional few play meaningful top level minutes at 16,17 and 18 (not end of season dead rubbers) these lads will need at least one loan spell imo before being in the frame for meaningful first team minutes. The academy player most likely to get first team minutes this season based on him continuing his form on loan would be RND as we have a slot open on the left hand side I don’t know if we have a recall option though.

Yeah it's probably still a way off, and I'd agree before giving them any meaningful minutes but perhaps in a cup game or late on as a sub if we're (perish the thought) winning a match!

Think there's also potential talk of Regan being called back from Hull in January, but it could just be paper talk

I’m not against seeing them as there does look to be some very interesting talents coming through some of them straddling both age groups and seeing one of our own come through has often been my only solace watching united through the dark years in league 1. Brunt looks to be the most developed looked intelligent against Dundee pre season and could’ve had an assist had Mousset brought his shooting boots. We just need to be careful about giving them too much too soon in terms of pressure (ruined George long imo) and premier league minutes now with the form we’re in would probably be too much. The stuff about Reagan worries me tbh this is his first really successful spell away from the club which he needs and if we bring him back in probably indicates we’re not signing to replace Lundstram which is scary.

Yeah I've seen reports saying we're not planning on replacing Lunny if he leaves which again, could just be paper talk, but it's scary if so!

I also agree that Regan should stay at Hull for the season, get him primed and ready to make an impact next season, whichever league we're in.

For all we know, relegation could be part of the club's long term vision. Not in a sense that they're wanting to go down, just that going down wouldn't be seen as such a terrible thing because we're building something bigger. Probably not like, but who knows. Look at West Brom, Norwich etc...yoyo clubs. Might take a few years of yoyoing before we can get settled, but I do believe that there's definitely a bigger picture being seen in terms of the club's future

I’m not sure long term plan is the right phrase but if we didn’t have contingencies in place we’d be daft.

My issue with being relegated is I think so of the younger ones would be lost Hackford for instance isn’t ready to start for the 23’s yet but I’ve heard Man City have sniffed twice in the last 18 months as a prem club we can tell them to do one but if we go down I fear losing the real stars out of that side.

Great to see lads who are not afraid to tackle, and also credit to the young Tractor Boys for staying on their feet, Premier League players would have been rolling around on the floor after that.

We played some good stuff there.

Couple of pearlers from Cappello, great movement all the way through from Ndiaye and then whoever played that ball on about 4:30...that was a beauty

Pretty sure that was Brunt, who also scored that lovely second goal.

Aye I thought it might have been, fingers crossed he keeps developing at the rate he is. Wouldn't be at all surprised to see one or two of these lads go out on loan down the leagues in January at this rate
