    Yes I can see the tactical battle but, tbh, the football isn't great for the neutral ...

    ... Sheff Utd will probably win with a ball lumped into the centre for the big lad.

    They’re a bunch of big donks IMO. Move them about and they’re vulnerable.

    I always kind of think Sheff United are a bit pointless.

    Like nobody hates them really, but one of them clubs nobody is arsed about.

    Anonymous while in PL and you just don’t ever really think about them. Strange club.

    Even though they’ve not been in PL for years Wednesday always feels like a miles bigger club to me.

    I don’t think we did. They had us on the rack for 10 to 15 minutes and there was another 10 minutes or so we sat in after we scored but no way we ‘sat back and just defended’ against them. Certainly not in the same way Sheff Utd have here. We created more against them than any other side this season.

    Secondly, Sheff Utd have been like this the majority of the season (despite having among the easiest run of fixtures of anyone thus far) it’s not a one off. They’ve relied on individual magic rather than being able to systematically create chances.

    This is just more of the same attritional stuff from them. They’ll probably go on and win the league now but I don’t see what you all see in them at all.

    Sheff Wed fans wouldn’t agree with that…

    Sheff Utd went to Leeds for a point and played for it. Now Leeds have scored can they change their mindset and try to get an equalizer? From what I've seen I don't think they can

    Thought their sponsor looked interesting so Googled it (there your shirt sponsor value right there…) and it’s a cryptocurrency.

    Mad.

    Absolutely. I’d probably fancy them to beat us in a one-off game because of their height and physicality. I’m seeing nowt that says we can’t finish above them though. They’re the living embodiment of the ‘good feet for a big man’ fallacy.

    Looks like they’ll be going to Boro without Hamer and Vini Souza, will be another big test for them.

    When sheff utd got promoted last time they were nothing special. You don't need to be in this league you need to get into a groove and find a way to win . Just like Mcarthy’s team for us .
