Subscriber Dan+ Posted September 22, 2017 Subscriber Posted September 22, 2017 Forest Green v Swindon on TV over AFC Wimbledon v MK Dons?
Bluebird Hewitt Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 Sunderland have been poor, but we've been just as bad since the international break. Would happily take a point.
Administrator Stan Posted September 22, 2017 Author Administrator Posted September 22, 2017 MK Dons take an early lead!
Danny Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 Best chance to grab a win all season. We've played Sheffield Utd, Wolves, Ipswich, Villa, Wednesday, Reading, Forest and Bristol City. 8 games, 4 draws and 4 losses. We've come so close against them all and especially should have beat Reading if not for referee decisions. Weve played well but their confidence can only last for so long, not winning today could be a proper downer for the team.
Dave Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 Last night's game was the difference between a team with ambitions to make the playoffs and a team that would be very happy with a top half finish.
Honey Honey Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 Sunderland 1 down at home to Cardiff. They haven't won a home game in the whole of 2017. Fair play to people who still bother going.

Danny Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 First win of the season, kept a clean sheet and scored three belters (though I can only find 2 online). This win has been coming and I'm glad it was done in that style, we've been outperforming teams left, right and centre but failing to win games. Bolton's manager asked are they in trouble now they've just lost 3-0 to a side who haven't won all season but they were in trouble before playing us, a hammering has been coming and really there wasn't a lot Bolton could do about the 3 goals.
Dave Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 This Jack Marriott looks like a great goalscorer. How do Peterborough keep finding them?
Honey Honey Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Good to see Kevin Nolan has taken Notts County to the top of the league with Shola Ameobi and John Stead upfront and Alan Smith on the backroom staff
Honey Honey Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Early goal in the Sheffield derby for United.

Bluebird Hewitt Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Haha. What a god awful goal to concede.
Bluebird Hewitt Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Wonder if Brighton vs. Newcastle will be worth watching.
Honey Honey Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 How many fucking times does the stadium announcer need to announce that there will be no exit on Leppings Lane ffs
Dave Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Great game that. Must be a really great time to be a Blades fan. Led by a fan, there best players are fans and the academy has bought through some great players. I hope to see them in the playoffs.

They've got a massive feel good factor about them at the minute. Wilder was an absolutely perfect appointment for them, turned up at just the right time. He's been promoted the last two years, it isn't out the picture they pull three in a row off either, only two points off the top - outstanding given what their team cost against some of the others up there, such as Wednesday themselves.

Rafa Beneathus Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 That Derby game today was excellent, I'm another that is happy to see Sheffield United doing well. They're a decent club with decent support and they've had a few shit years in League One.
Pig on the Wing Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 Any, that video is marvellous. Always had a soft spot for Sheffield United (even if their fans have been the most dull set of mongs ever since Gary Madine said something mean about Sir William Sharp). They're a club seemingly going somewhere after years of nothing, with a core of excellent players who were thrown together in League One, took the piss, now slotting into the Championship with no problem. Players like John Fleck, Jack O'Connell, Leon Clarke, Jake Wright, the aforementioned titty-liner Sharp - they have just clicked, and they're taking last season's momentum forward. I have no doubt they'll be found out soon enough, but I'm actually fancying a flutter on them to go up by the playoffs. Southampton did a double promotion years back, as did Norwich City - as did Man. City back when they were a real club. There's no reason that Sheffield United can't emulate that. They've got that core of talismanic players from League 1 that fared so well for Southampton (Lambert, Lallana, Schniederlin), Norwich (Holt, Hoolahan, Martin) and City (Dickov, Goater and Horlock). They are a club very much on the up. -- Bolton Wanderers, however, are not. We are utterly fucked. There's absolutely no steel in the centre of the pitch, irrespective of what formation Parkinson goes for. Weak, limp, lazy - there's complete inaction all over the pitch - meaning that even when we do get forward, when the move breaks down, there is absolutely no protection for the defence. Against Brentford, we were up against a lone striker, so Parkinson plays his 3-5-2, totally marking him out of the game. However, that left acres of space for Brentford to saunter through. Other than the first 15 where we were actually semi-competent for a change, Brentford were laughing - hot knife through butter in that midfield 'battle'. Wonder goals, sure, but we were hardly limiting them to that - they could have had plenty more. So. We're 9 games in without a win, 6 losses on the bounce (in which we haven't scored a single goal - a club record), the leakiest defence in the league at at least 2 per game. It's a mess, and while sure, the embargo meant we could sign only the shit nobody else wanted, and sure, we lost Josh Vela to injury on the first day - turning this set of losers and aimless wasters around is going to take a miracle comparable to parting the Red Sea, raising Lazarus, or getting the Mighty Ducks to win the fucking Pee Wee Championship. Fuck off, you inept cunts. I'd only just gotten back to enjoying football again.
