FreshOwl Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) On 31/10/2018 at 19:21, Athelwulf said: But Jos' tactics invite the opposition to score goals against us now, Milud. On average, we're conceding almost 3 a game. And Tufty played it cautiously last season because it was Jos' first game in charge, so he didn't know what to expect. And there was no Coutts, nor was Norwood involved. We're bob, Sire. Bob as bob can be. And twice as smelly. These are my thoughts, the only slight positive is that they’re at home so fans could get on their back quick , but they’ll press us from the start regardless I’d say if we weather the storm we have a chance of getting something, but we’re shipping goals all over the place and at any time Has the potential to be a very depressing night. If they start battering us and get an early goal or two, I’m quickly turning off Edited November 2, 2018 by FreshOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got the fire power to do it. They have to play the way they do, because they lack real quality up front. They have to produce lots of chances even to score a modest amount of goals. We don't, as was proven in the Hillsborough debacle a year ago. We were horrendous in that game ... but still scored two goals. But with Jos' tactics at the back we've no chance. And frankly, how many teams at this level would have a chance playing that way? In my opinion, not many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deja Vu though, only talking in the pub last week and saying we must return. BTW I do live in Barnsley Not much changed. A few of the pubs have changed owners and names, loads of new restaurants, and the place has more Eastern Europeans than indigenous folk now. Prices are feckin crazy, i.e. 15 Euros for a burger or fish'n'chips and just short of a fiver for a pint of Arthur. Down to about 22 watering holes now whereas when I first came here there were 53.

sonofbert2 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Nailed on for 0-0 the way the hype is going on both sides at the minute. My Blades mates are nowhere near as confident as some on here about them stuffing us which is pretty sad tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you only get the same points, BUT this game is different from all others. Bragging rights, relief or absolute devastation at work next day, for us Sheffielders. At least you don’t live and work with loads of Leeds fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite right. Our forwards are actually lethal. The problem is, we don't create enough for them. Think we're second worst team in the Champ for chances created? Look at Match of the Day / Premier League - even Kane and Aguero / Rooney back in the day, needed four or five chances to net one. But their teammates created enough that eventually they'd score. It's the Jordan Rhodes scenario. We never played him in his natural role - a shitliner who had a nack for dropping off his marker or finding the space much like Lineker did. Our forwards have actually done an amazing job feeding off scraps. If we actually attacked and made chances, they'd be wanted by Prem clubs.
