Sheffield United ( H) League 1 Tuesday 6/3/12
"It's a funny old game " Jimmy Greaves was spot on , Four games unbeaten yet we find ourselves back in the drop zone as we play host to promotion chasing Sheffield United .
Good news is we still have a game in hand over four of our relegation rivals .
The Blades sit second in the table on 65 points from 33 played .
Full Away record
Won 7 - Drew 3 -Lost 5 - Goals for 20- against 13
Last 6 league games .
Wycombe - home - won 3-0
Huddersfield - away - won 1-0
Preston - home - won 2-1
Sheff Wed - away - lost 0-1
Scunthorpe - home - won 2-1
Oldham - home lost 2-3
Prediction :
We do appear to do better against the top sides with that in my mind 1-1.

I also think we will win in a rather amusing style.
3-2 win. Score teh winner in the last five minutes. Another bunch of yorkshire inbred fudge to kick off, ensue utter laughter.

Re: Sheffield United ( H) League 1 Tuesday 6/3/11.
It all depends how they react to being turned over by Oldham. Otherwise, I would have said a narrow 1-0 victory for them.
Now, we might nick a point, in front of 5,130, including 1,700 Blades.

4 points from the next two (home) games are a must.
Funnily enough, I think we might nick it tomorrow night. 2-1 home win - Cuvelier & Nouble with the goals.

2-1 to the saddlers with the Yorkshiremen being sent packing like their Wendy cousins. Bowerman to bag a late winner!

Am they givin away free tickets in your dreams or somat? Might creep up to just under 4k to witness another dissapointment. Boy how I would love us to take three points of the Leagues 2nd Automatic promotion certainties (not withstanding Saturdays falter) but, I fear, they will destroy us at a canter. Now with NO new signings to bolster our play, and Macken & Nicholls up front (again), the only 'striker' on our books, Bowerman, warming the bench (again), as Grigg (I once scored from a volley) being brought on when we are 2-0 down, to run around like a headless chicken achieving absolutely nothing.
Still we can dream of a win cor we? It's just that the reality of another defeat come Wednesday morning will sink in slowly and dreadfully.

Be a fair whack over 4K I'd imagine, United are bringing a good 1.4K apparently.

They have 5 defenders missing through injury or suspension.
Unfortunatly they also have Ched Evans up front.

Walsall 1 - 1 Sheff Utd
Nicholl's second half goal for Walsall, dribbles past 4 players before unleashing a deft chip into the net.

Re: Sheffield United ( H) League 1 Tuesday 6/3/11.
Every season we play 1 or 2 teams that are as good as we all feared/expected. Last year was Southampton/Brighton and in the years before that Leicester. These aren't near the top for no reason and all they did was flick a switch at their ground and they scored 3 in 15 minutes. A forward line of Will Hoskins, Ched Evans and James Beattie is a scary, scary prospect if we dont turn up and play to our 150% absolute best. They have a big squad full of players that we could only dream about having. I think we'l work hard, but not have enough going forward and they will 100% score.
1-3 Blades.

Sheffield United HAVE signed a couple of players on loan - Hill and Egan, from Blackpool and Sunderland. Both are defenders, and both start tonight!! :(

Re: Sheffield United ( H) League 1 Tuesday 6/3/11.
Walsall line-up against the Blades:
Grof
Sadler
Butler
Lancashire
Taundry
Hurst
Cuvelier
Mantom
Macken
Paterson
Bowerman :shock:
Subs: Walker, Beevers, Peterlin, Grigg, Nicholls.
I have to say that I think that looks like our strongest line-up (if Mantom's any good, that is!)
