Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Sheffield United – Championship Play-off Final - Saturday 24th May 2025 - KO 15:00

@Southern A

 

Hamer is the big worry for me, lethal from the edge of the box, takes a wicked free kick and spots passes others don’t, wasn’t nervous until I typed that out

 

I don't want Roberts to start either from an offensive point of view, but you're right about Sheff Utd's left being their strongest side, and he was good defensively in the semis. So I can see him starting again.

In fact I'm pretty confident its going to be an unchanged side again.

 

First leg yeah, 2nd leg I disagree.

I think it'll be unchanged, it worked in January.

 

Only thing that worries me about VAR, is LoN..

hopefully he will know not to haul someome down, or shirt pull.

 

Yeah hes measured with what he says, personally I disagree with some of his takes about us but at least he can have a reasonable discussion and considers both sides.

 

I bet they're saying the same about Ahmedhodzic, Robinson and Choudhury. Ahmedhodzic is a walking red card against anyone with a bit of pace.

 

They will be 2 goals down before their first cross

 

thats the spirit.

 

Imagine I'm a Sheffield Utd fan...

Le Fee is the big worry for me, lethal from the edge of the box, takes a wicked free kick and spots passes others don’t, wasn’t nervous until I typed that out

Hamer is a good player. We have Le Fee
Burrows is a good full back. We have Cirkin
Campbell is a good striker. We have Mayenda
Ahmehodzic is a good centre back. We have Dan ****ing Ballard.

And I've not even mentioned our best player Jobe or our player of the year Hume.

Sheff Utd are good. So are we. They're rightly favourites due to their league position but we have more than enough to beat them even if they turn up on a good day.

 

Checkout the Roker Report podcast as he guests on that

 

I did almost sign my message off saying all of the above applies to le fee too haha

both sets of fans as it draws closer natural start to overrate the opposition and underrate their own to a degree, will be razor close but I’m pretty confident we nick it

Best I can do

 

Watson gave them a ton of problems at their place, if I remember right. Could be an outside bet for some game time.

 

Tbh I hope not, I watched his reactions when we scored last minute and i've never seen a player with the most disinterest in what was going on than him. Really don't think his heart is in it

 

gets the winner to send us up before he goes to Brighton

 

He always looks awkward to me even before the sale, think he’s just naturally abit introverted, wouldn’t play him either mind

 

Isn't his gf Ian Hartes daughter?
