a-k Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 57 minutes ago, bobzy said: The whole situation is a bit bizarre. They're definitely nowhere near the levels they hit last season, but the games I've seen them in this season, they've actually looked alright - just massively lacking firepower up top. They aren't really getting hammered in games. Should've beaten West Brom about 5-1, but ended up losing 1-0. Were unlucky against West Ham. Just all very odd. As above, I like Wilder and the way that Sheffield United have taken to life in the Premier League. I hope they manage to sort it out and stay up, somehow. I agree, they don’t look like the worst PL side of all time, but they just can’t score. However, the 20 million pound man who they brought in to score is a 20 year old with 10 senior goals, and none at top level. They deserve what they’ve gotten.

Zhan_Zhuang Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Anyone remember reading their pre-match thread about our game beginning of the season? Most had us as an easy win and also very bitter about Villa. As a result it's funny to see them where they are, **** them and good riddance if they go down!

Shows how important a good GK is to your overall performances. Last year XG had them at 54 goals conceded but they only let in 39. Whole lot of that is down to Henderson. This year XG has them at 26 conceded and they have actually allowed 26 goals. Ramsdale is the one transfer they had to get right and they royally cocked it up. Down they go. XG has him letting in 26 goals and that's how many he's let in, are those numbers correct? They could have done better but sounds like he's performing as expected, bit harsh saying his transfer wad a royal cockup. There must be keepers with worse records in the league. I feel it's more that they're not scoring at all that is killing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem weirdly bitter about the ghost goal incident, despite the fact that if you were to add the points to their final tally they wouldn't have moved position in the league. It means pretty much nothing to them, yet they're so mad about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been a travesty if they'd scored from the only attempt on goal they had, which wasn't even an actual attempt but was just our defender and goalie bumping into each other accidentally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I saw on social media when the whole restart was being discussed they were adament that the season had to resume because they were going to get europe, they were full of beans, it's a huge crash, I'm sure they probably think that if that goal was given they'd be beating real Madrid on their way to winning the CL by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Have made the worst start of any team in England after sixteen games in the history of league football now, and have also gone nineteen games without a win, which is the worst run in their history. If they're not careful 'doing a Derby' will become 'doing a Sheffield United', if nothing else they should be aiming to prevent that from happening, having your club's name used as a byword for the worst kind of failure can't be a nice thing.

I feel for Sheffield personally, its nice to have more non London clubs in the league but they're miles off. Last year was such fine margins for them and they got it right but when you're so reliant on systems and your players aren't getting it done this is the result. I guess for most of their fans 9th and relegation is better than a few seasons fighting the drop and I'd probably agree. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty damn unbelievable I don't think it is They over performed last season with a team built in league 1, running you balls off every game was never going to last, and signing ramsdale and Brewster have been a disaster But hey, let's all listen to chris wilder, a manager who tells it like it is, and wank him off like the media did last year.

But as a non-Blade, I think he's bitter, a sore loser and disrespectful to other teams/managers. Id be quite happy if they lost all of their remaining games from here. Nothing against the club at all, just Wilder. He's started on his own players now, so it won't be long til they get rid. Edit: I should point out that he's obviously done an incredible job with them to have a bunch of League One standard players finish mid-table Premier League Edited December 29, 2020 by StewieGriffin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Would probably be the biggest drop off in points tally between seasons in history I imagine. Might be a 40 point swing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 17 games, 2 points. I honestly thought they could get out of it, but its looking more and more unlikely as the games pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyClarke Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I think it is fair to say that they are getting no luck at all, but they offered very little today, no threat whatsoever going forwards, no particular fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
