I wonder if we will play in those new 87 replica shirts against WBA as a tribute. Anyway. Snoz always looked like an older fella to me as a child with his bald head and white tufts. He was 50 in 87 and what, 53? when he was retired off/ binned because he wanted a bit of a cuddle (I can’t...

First George, now John. Absolutely devastating news. If anyone deserves a statue in the new railway development part of the city it’s them pair. RIP Snoz

Brilliant

Moore 6 Could have done better with the goals. Couple of great saves, 6 he gets. Maatsen 6 Eager, inexperienced, talented. Mixed performance, not slating - not praising. Fadz 7 Some great interceptions, strong but out of position now and again. Hyam 7 Passes well through the back. Did ok...

I agree with most of this and agree about Walker. The issue with the miss is that he has so many options: one touch and place / blast / lay off. He simply had a lazy slash at it with no thought or real effort. His head may be down, hence I suggested a loan move at the end of next month. With...

Moore 8 Came out for crosses well, dominated area by and large and distributed well. Couple of sloppy kicks but overall good. Hyam 7 Tidy. Coped with their movement well. Fadz 8 His forward runs give him an extra dimension and therefore an extra mark. Rose 7 Tidy again. Had a tendency to...

Managed to get some from the guys at Bramall lane. Luckily.

That might work. Random thought: Bury. They were a L2 club who breached the FPP rules and have gone to dust. If they had been relegated, would they have been ok? Fuzzy logic.

Anyone got any spare tickets to sell? I didn’t get mine sorted quick enough and I was going with my lad. He is inching towards being a Blade but has been watching Cov with me so is ready to be brought back into the light Ridiculous as it sounds we live in Sheffield now so getting a ticket in...

Thought provoking angle if being out of the EFL means clubs can spend more and attract better players. Notts County got 12000 fans in the other day which is more than many L1/L2 clubs get. And yes, as another poster pointed out, clubs that get promoted don’t seem to struggle. This suggests...

Watched the match last night (tbh really enjoyed it) and was surprised at the relative quality in the non-league side. Definitely some players in there that could play L1. Looking at the National league It’s surprising how many former league sides are in there and presumably operating a full...

I can see why we took a punt on Baka, he’s got some pace and strength, he’s also got the first touch and control of a hooligan. I assume we tried to coach some finesse into him and I can see why we let him go.

That’s true. I’ve changed it. It was Black that got kicked for Reid. Now that was mad - not even just with hindsight - mad at the time too.

SISU / Ranson / Hoffman went sour on each other the day Westwood refused to sign a new contract. SISU “worked out” that their (guess) £20m investments (players) could actually walk out for nothing. They got Ken in to secure the contracts of Bell etc. mad times, why not pay the Higgs back for...

Not sure why people slate Hoff. If we were to ever totally implode as a club, go into admin, fall out of League whatever - he is the one person with the connections and conviction to step in. I’d rather have him as a fan than slate him.

He went to my school (he’s several years older) and therefore can never do any wrong.

Lampard was something daft like 1:25 on for Norwich earlier. Now drifting a bit….. Anything can happen.

One thing is for sure: if ever there was a time that he could knock on Joy’s door and ask for a wage rise…..

It’s a funny one. Years ago Henrik Larsson, John Hartson etc. went to Scotland and could easily have been in the Prem. The gulf between has widened somewhat but the draw of 50k crowds, silverware, adulation, European football will appeal to some who could easily play lower Prem or Champ. That...
