Match Preview;
Sheffield United are now onto their third permanent manager of 2021. Chris Wilder left in March, to be replaced by Paul Heckingbottom on a temporary basis, and then Slaviša Jokanović was appointed in May. After 8 wins, 6 draws and 8 losses, he was sacked on November 25th, and now Paul Heckingbottom has been appointed on a permanent basis. They currently sit 10th, and their top scorer is Billy Sharp with 7 goals.

As for us, we are now 5th, have missed a chance to move third after losing 0-2 to Stoke last Sunday. That ended a run of three wins in a row. A week and a bit between matches will, hopefully, have done the squad a world of good, and time to get some rest before a busy Christmas period. Chair and Dykes are currently our top scorers, with 6 each. Not sure if they really care about it...but a bit of healthy competition to be our top scorer would be great, and could encourage them to keep banging them in. Willock (5), Austin, Gray and Dickie (4) aren't far behind.

Team news and manager comments to go up as and when it is on the official...and as always...

...COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!

 

Danny Cullip.
Shaun Derry.


Doing a half day and schlepping up for this. Don’t let me down Rangers.

 

I know the Cullip family really well. They lived close to where you live.

 

Conor Washington, Goal Machine.

 

Richard Edghill
Mikele Legsofwood
Brett Angell
Georges Santos

 

Some of these played only a handful, so good knowledge...but surely we'll soon reach a tipping point, where they'll be no new ones to find. At least I hope they'll be a tipping point.

 

Doubt it.

Kyle Walker. Andrew Davies.

 

So Manager of the Month, Player of the Month and potentially Goal of the Month............. What could possibly go wrong?

 

Rob Hulse.

 

No pulse Hulse!

 

Stats are funny things. In my head, we more often lose to this lot but the stats don't support that view. Hoping for the win.

 

It already has, they were all for November, since then we lost to Stoke ! Poxy awards ffs

 

I got to wait until Monday! Bloody Sky!

 

Rejoice, we've got a Saturday 3.00pm home game next week, almost as rare as an eclipse...

 

bloody sky!

 

I have been getting more and more down beat about this match. Currently in my head, we have absolutely no chance of getting anything from this match. I am sure it is the waiting that is doing it. Bloody sky

 

Game's postponed.

 

Due to covid qpr have insufficient numbers to make up the playing squad!

 

Marvelous, must be quite a few with it then. Added to the injuries we're in the poo

 

That’s rather scuppered my plans.
