So frustrating. I do think that was partly down to him and Harvey just not working well together though, and as said, no doubt a dip in confidence as well. I suspect it was because we couldn’t have both full backs forward at the same time as wilf can only cover one side - brendan obvs felt Ricky was more productive and also we had Barnes holding the touch line on the left more than ayoze on the right. Hence chilly was required to stay back more and recycle the ball back to the centre backs or wilf to try and make space for Ricky to run into

Your point was that we can get top 4 and mine was that something significant (i.e. home form vs poorer sides) will need addressing if we're to be there by May.

Just that when we play well we’re as good as anyone. But maybe I didn’t make that clear so apologies. X 2

Koke Posted 13 December 2020 Posted 13 December 2020 Terrible defending by Sheffield United. They used to be good and well organised but they look like a lower league team.

They used to be good and well organised but they look like a lower league team. They are the side I expected them to be last season. But I didn't think they'd be that bad this season. Their squad is so shit though. They will go in that "one season wonder" draw along with the likes of Ipswich and Reading. I am regretting not backing my instinct of their relegation when it was 4/1 prior to the season starting because it doesn't look like they'll be getting out of this. Also when some people compared Wilder to the likes of Dyche after one season Edited 13 December 2020 by Fox92

Like a poundland Slimani. 1
Blanchflower78 Posted 13 December 2020 Posted 13 December 2020 Good side nowadays the saints, like the story behind it as well. We all know we played a part in the start of it. Fantastic for sticking by Ralph and some pay back now. Just heard he has a say on all age groups training from under 9s. Building an identity, another club like us tackling the elite in other ways. 4

Like a poundland Slimani. Oh yeah, I said it last season. They'd spent £20m on that Norwegian midfielder too, Brewster from Liverpool was £20m and the goalkeeper was £18m I think? Terrible investment. They went into this season with McBurnie, McGoldrick, Sharp and Brewster as attacking options. I know they didn't score much last season but they relied on keeping clean sheets so much which they don't seem to do now. 1
tom27111 Posted 13 December 2020 Posted 13 December 2020 1 point from a possible 45 for the Blades. Going down. Do you sack the manager, or stick with him? I can't imagine anyone getting more out of the terrible players they have.
RowlattsFox Posted 13 December 2020 Posted 13 December 2020 I hope Wilder can turn it around but it doesn't look likely, massively overachieved last season and now it's gone wrong. Yes they've spent money on average players but it's nearly impossible to buy from English clubs and not spend over the odds. Should probably have broadened his horizons more and looked overseas, they've proved they can do with Berge who looks a tidy player.

Leicester_Loyal Posted 13 December 2020 Posted 13 December 2020 They are going down without a fight. It's their signings which are costing them, whoever decided to buy Brewster and Ramsdale rather than Martinez and Watkins need shooting.
Corky Posted 13 December 2020 Posted 13 December 2020 The teams without a quality striker are standing out more now. The usual top six have them, then you've got Vardy, Ings, Calvert-Lewin, Jimenez, Wilson, Antonio. Ings has been a threat every time he's got the ball. Sheffield United, like West Brom yesterday, just don't have that threat. 1
