Never really predict scores anyway, but our first loss in 13 makes me feel even more unsure.

Well, yep. I think we will be fine for the whole season, but it is quite possible we could have a mini implosion now.

Quite plausible that we could lose to both Sheff Utd and Stoke.

We need Wright back on his game. He was so anonymous against Wrexham, but on his day, he can destroy any defence in this division.

Having MVE back should really help us and it would be great if we could get Thomas back too.

Torp, MVE and Thomas, would definitely make us so much stronger now

No idea what to predict for tomorrow. I was rather worried about Wrexham and I dare say I will be the same again tomorrow

I think Stoke may well be a draw, but that's for after this.

The strongest 11 obviously gives us the best chance.

Win tomorrow and I would bite your hand off for a draw at Stoke

Just thought, are we now in the once inconceivable position of wanting Leicester to win and do us a favour by getting something out of the Boro tomorrow?

Not sure how I feel about it

Draw please

skybluelee · Monday at 4:53 PM

If we line up with BTA in the 10 again my confidence will wane. As long as he's not and JDS is also well enough to play in place of Bidwell we should have enough quality and balance to win. Our home record under Lampard is obscene and Sheff U have lost 10/13 games this season.

Do we not do poress conferences ahead of midweek games?

Live WLADITT followed by the Last Post and a minute’s silence I’m assuming

I got to party until dawn with Dr. Hook after they blocked my car in at a concert.

Cooper is a top keeper to be fair, and for their goals against to be so poor despite him is pretty revealing.

He has dropped a lot of changers this season

Thinking of the Sheffield Utd fans when The Enemy start tomorrow. Surely they're not just going to stand there and listen? I imagine a chorus of 'WTFHIT' and 'Greasy Chip Butty' as they try to drown it out.

No longer happening.
Not at this game anyway.

They'll fail miserably to drown us out.

Just as I posted this, the answer to a question on University Challenge was 'Sheffield United'

Just had an amusing 10 minutes reading their forum. Fuck me.

'What football club with the suffix 'United' plays in the South Yorkshire city of Sheffield?'

University Challenge has really gone downhill, tbh.

Disappointed in fireworks and a light show before the game - leave that gimmicky shit to that fucking circus up the A45

They'll definitely do that. We'd do the same.

Although, lots of Sheffield folk like The Enemy.

Wouldn't like to predict a team with the injuries and illness, but hopefully MvE will be back in and Dasilva.

I think we'd be better taking out one of the forwards for a midfielder (probably Eccles is most likely to be fit and could be swapped with Torp later on if necessary). Whichever of the forwards got dropped could rightfully feel a bit aggrieved. Personally, I think I'd drop Wright but not sure how BTA would do as the CF. Probably work his socks off closing down but maybe not that effective elsewhere?

They've started poorly and we should look to be taking advantage, especially at home. But can't help but think it's midweek, it's Sheffield United and Wilder. It's just one of those games historically we don't turn up in. Can see it turning out a drab 1-0 to them, with O'Hare the scorer. Hope I'm wrong.

Yeah. I fear that too

Not sure I am going to be able to stay awake until 3am to watch it, but if this bloody jet lag kicks in tonight as it did last night I will be wide awake again

Same here - just landed in Beijing and knackered but want to try and watch the game- we’ll see…

Otis · Tuesday at 5:15 AM

Working, but going to watch as I work. Should be all done for the second half.

Where are you mate, Thailand?

Great_Expectations · Tuesday at 7:42 AM

Weather looks like it could be a factor later - wet and windy.

Tanganga is a decent CB but poor on the ball, - McGuinness isn’t much better. So can see them going direct to avoid mistakes, especially against a press.

Campbell isn’t the same threat as Moore in that sense, so barring another horror show at the back we should cope.

In turn, if we end up more direct today and need the ball to stick, it’s a case for Simms to get more than a 20 minute cameo.

Not sure you should be doing that whilst driving a bus, Otis

40 passengers listening to 'we'll live and die in these towns' while you're watching the match at the wheel!

curly_tom · Tuesday at 8:16 AM

It feels so different going into a game after our first defeat. I was feeling nervous for each game because I wanted to preserve the unbeaten run and break more records. Now I'm feeling nervous about the whole thing falling down and the realisation that we were playing above ourselves. A win tonight would make me feel a lot better about how good we actually are. We definitely should win but we looked poor on Friday.
