Lose/draw and then go out in the League Cup in the same week could potentially cause chaos. This is the problem, right here, in one post. The entire issue with our fanbase summed up. A draw at Sheffield and a loss to City would in no way cause chaos unless you allow your mentality to shift so much that it does. It’s like people are trying their hardest a build a narrative out of fuck all. We’ve played some incredible teams in these first 6 games. Picked up some good points, decent performances in some games, poor in others. We will settle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually completely agree with you and if you had read the post below you would see you are making the same point as I was trying to in a way. I guess I was quite unclear with my initial post. 3 hours ago, Flip said: I’m just trying to say that losing to a newly promoted side and bowing out of the League Cup could add some real pressure to the side that they havn’t really felt. I’m not one of them, but losses to Man City, Brighton and Liverpool had people questioning Howe and the squad on here. People have even turned on our best players..

STM Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Getting a win here puts our season back on track. Getting a good performance to go with it, puts us in a great spot. It's easy to forget how the likes of Everton away started last season... scrappy first half, then quality came through. We need to be mindful of this and stay with the lads in the first half. One of the characteristics of the new NUFC is our fitness in the second half of games. Let's see how long Sheffield can battle for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably means Traore comes in for him. I'd much rather see our backline up against a McBurnie type player as apposed to two quick players willing to run in behind.

TRon Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 How do these set up? I was going to predict a relatively easy win, but then I thought back to games against Bournemouth and Leeds where they just parked the bus and we couldn't really get behind them.

Wolfcastle Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Just a win will be fine and fully braced for it to not be free flowing, chances galore and a hiding though strong chance we could boss possession and chances Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theregulars Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Calling it a must win is tantamount to publicly declaring your own stupidity. It would be nice for a good, commanding performance but we're new to this CL/PL turnaround. Many teams as good as / better than us have fallen foul.

Mattoon Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Think this is a lot tougher than it looks on paper, they haven't lost by more than 1 goal this season and have scored against City and away at Spurs. They'll make it tough for us to break them down. We should have enough to win but it won't be the walkover we're hoping for and a draw isn't a terrible result.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I think the grafting we've done in the last two games sets us up well, we will definitely compete with them better than some other PL teams. Just get on top, grind them down and hopefully the quality will show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Think it will be a tight and scrappy game, no idea how it’s been picked for super Sunday 😂. I do think we will just scrape the win. 0-1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 You’d take a 1-0 now like. Early goal to settle the nerves and force them to come out a little bit. Quite fancy Barnes to net if he starts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Say what you want, but we need to maintain standards and we should be expecting to win this one. The real question is whether the team shape gets fixed, the pressing and intensity returns and we start putting away our chances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack j Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) Any decent boozers round Sheffield train station?. Last time I got the train there I was 16 and Steven Taylor scored a header 😎Remember it being quite ropey when we played them in a night time kick off. Not many boozers near the ground letting away fans in Edited September 21, 2023 by jack j Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
