The College Dropout Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 A win here is massive. When you're a "big club" going 3 games without a win will bring media speculation that we don't need. And the media are quick to put Howe under pressure in particular. Win this and we've had a fantastic week and our season is firmly on track. It's very early days but the teams in the top 7 are all good enough to stay in the chase. We don't want to give them too much of a headstart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 The Howard is sound and will let away fans in iirc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many boozers near the ground letting away fans in Head of Steam is a ten min walk up the hill from the station next to the Crucible. The Graduate en route to HoS is a passable sports bar type place. You’d be going the long way round for the stadium though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I don't not think this will be pretty. Sheffield United will sit in their low block, crowd the middle of the park and try to force us out wide. I was reading earlier they've conceded 114 shots already this season. They've been competative though and while they're outperforming their xG, they will try to utilise their pace up top as well as set pieces. We should win, but if we don't score early it could be a tough watch - 0-1 Pope, Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn, Longstaff, Bruno, Tonali, Almiron, Wilson, Barnes.

McCormick Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Any danger of Hall getting minutes for this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 6 points behind 5th place right now, possibly 8-9 if we don't win. This game absolutely is a must win as much as some people want to act like it isn't. Hell, anything less than 3 points against a newly promoted side with 1 point isn't a good result anyway. We've got a very nice stretch of PL games we need to take advantage of, especially after 3 points in our first 4 games (which were very tough). We'll win it by a couple of goals and our midfield will finally look like clicking a bit with some confidence! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheikBoom Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 7 points and 1 win from our first 6 games last season. Sunday isn't a must win, but we should be getting 3 points regardless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in midfield. If we're hanging on... no matter how tired Burn will stay on to defend set pieces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 You’d imagine if he’s talented enough to be paying 30-odd for, then he’ll be at least getting minutes in a period where we have 3 games in quick succession. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point we are going to need to introduce footballing defenders if we continue to struggle with retaining the ball and getting it up the pitch. You don't spend £30-40m on subs who will stay on the bench indefinitely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 No chance he mixes up the team that much here, it’ll be an unchanged back 4 as he’ll want Burns height at set pieces against these. The changes will be against Man City in the week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

black_n_white Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Howe will go full strength at the weekend, Tuesday to Sunday is plenty of time to recover. I think Gordon and Miggy will start on the flanks, only ‘surprise’ might be Wilson up top, I feel like he’d do a good job against these. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
