Realistic about Shef UTD

Thu Dec 19, 2024 11:14 am

There’s nothing wrong with a bit of positivity, but we also need to be realistic, there is a reason that they are 20 places above us.

To win games, you need to score goals and concede as few as possible, which is what they are doing well.

They have scored the 6th most and only Burnley have conceded less goals than them this season.

Us on the other hand, are 22nd in goals scored, and 5th in goals conceded.

We can’t score goals and now we are up against the second best defence in the league.

We kickstart other teams seasons. QPR, Blackburn, Preston - what chance do we have against Shef Utd realistically?

You're right of course but that's why we love football.

Look at the home games against Ipswich and Southampton last season where few would have given us a chance of getting anything from those games and for a long time in each of them it looked like we wouldn't.

But a game can turn at any time and for any reason.

We've got a fighters chance tomorrow - but we have to have far more fight than we've shown in our last few home games.

I don’t really expect anything from the game, But football is a funny old game and you never now.
