At least we managed to restore a bit of pride and towards the end I actually thought we might come away with a draw. Yeah we had plenty of time to do so and I remember a tudgay air shot too. But we seemed to run out of steam. Hopefully Butterfield will be our new Adam Bolder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quist Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Personally think this will help JL if he reads it it will help him prepare for game. you can not dismiss Bassett think he holds record for number of promotions delivered by any one manager and still helps loads of managers who ring him for advice. I believe Wilder speaks to him regularly. it would be helpful to JL if he spoke to Howard Wilkinson to give him some perspective on how to approach Championship games including derbies. Failing that he could always ring Bassett and ask him for some advice, from what I hear Harry is always helpful to everyone who contacts him for advice on football matters.

Jim Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 For some reason I’m quietly confident about Friday. The Local Press are firmly in the United Camp, everyone of a United Persuasion is expecting to absolutely hammer us and they’re bringing in new players left, right and centre. Where we’re just getting on with things quietly behind closed doors in Emergency Ward 10 after the publicity earlier in the week with regards to Lukuhay’s appointment. Personally I think if Loovens and Joao are at the top of their game on Friday we spoil the party IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needed to watch from behind the sofa. The last Brian Laws one at the Lane was horrendous too. flipping helllllll If the first half of this one is anything like that one then I’ll be jumping in the Thames .

OxonOwl Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) A lot of Owls are expecting to lose and a win will be a welcome surprise. Blades are expecting to win but scared shìtless they'll lose. I personally think we might win but losing won't be as big a hit as last time.

the_mutha Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 If we lose 5-0 on Friday, I'll still wake up on Saturday and thank my lucky stars I'm Wednesday and not that shower of poo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athelwulf Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Personally, I just think Carlito (and our players) looked at the last derby and thought "Third Division squad, Third Division manger, who've all just come out of the Third Division". Would we have approached that game in the same way had we been playing ex-PL outfits like Newcastle or Veela? I doubt it. Would Carlos have played a keeper with broken ribs, or thrown Van Aken in at the deep end? It was complacency which cost us as much as anything, and we're not the only team to suffer from that when playing the Blades this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen the videos of the atmosphere at some of the German derbies? I have to admit it’s far superior to most of the derbies in this country, in fact the atmospheres in Germany in general look a lot better. Maybe something to do with cheaper tickets, standing areas and being allowed to drink but that’s another debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we've only got Leeds to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fife_owl Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I like Bassett and he was bang on with what he said about Carlos. I think Jos knows what happened at Hillsborough and the players are in NO doubt what Friday means. I just fear we have three injuries too many.
