Robtaylor200 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 If we can just convert the chances created in the last game This has to bring my 4:1 bet in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Three wins in a row for them. They usually try to play and knock it around their back three. I'll take a repeat of last season right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewie Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Square pegs in round holes, 2-1 defeat, Bruce to blame a player mistake and say he's fuming. Queue deja vu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skills Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 looking for a response here... poor late goal against Reading followed by a disgraceful performance in the cup. All eyes on you now Steve! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These lot are a good side on great form, whilst we are struggling against poor sides. We desperately need a defence before I will have any confidence in winning games like this one, and we need Bolasie up to speed very soon. Until that happens, I fear the worst.

Raver50032 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) I smell a defeat here. Their current form is enough to make the sphincter of our defence tighten in a morbid attempt not to lose. Given the nature of our sporadic performances, we're due a league defeat.

chappy Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Think this could a long 90 mins, United seem to be hitting some form. Hopefully Jack will be fit again. I didn’t really buy Bruce’s line that McGinn and Kodjia were injured too but maybe just a knock. Expect to see them back in the starting 11. Doubt Bolasie will be ready for this given lack of pre season. Having said that, I still want to go (extra rivalry with friends from home) but I couldn’t get a ticket. Please let me know if anyone has a spare! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Big game this. Win it and we are pretty much back on track. Lose and Bruce is under massive pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robtaylor200 Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 Hand on heart, I am expecting SB to pack the defence and hope for a break away goal Then when we go 2 nil down, he will play attack and it will be too late as they pack their defence and close the game down BUT we still haven't lost in the league Yet, so still a glimmer of hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Nyland Elmo Chester Tuanzebe Hutton Whelan El Ghazi Grealish Hourihane Adomah Kodjia Round pegs in round holes. I am assuming that McGinn is out, but Grealish is back. Whelan could be changed for Bjarnasson or Jedinak. I haven't seen enough of Sheffield United this season to know which would be the better option against their starting eleven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted August 29, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 29, 2018 1-1 and i’ll go with Anwar to open his account with us. We’ll start alright and get one early on, then they’ll pile on the pressure and get an equaliser mid way through the second half. We’ll just about hold on. The result will fuel the purgatory nature of the Bruce thread where some will feel that we didn’t do enough when we had the upper hand and is a further example of his limitations, while others will point to us remaining unbeaten and he simply won’t be sacked while that remains the case. And that should keep us going for the fortnight between this and the next game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Be interesting to see who plays in this. We have the personnel to take on anyone in the league again. I don't know much about our opponent so hard to predict anything. Hopefully we make fewer mistakes than we have been. Not been a single performance this season where we've been comfortable, it'd be nice to get a few early goals and enjoy a confidence booster. You never know. UTV!

rodders0223 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 1-1 We will labour and struggle, create little changes and will have some Kodj or McGinn magic to thank for our point. Bruce will come out after the game and once again state that we moved the ball too slow, he didn't tell them to play that way, he wanted us to move the ball quicker, and sharper and that we still have a way to go and we're playing catch up at the minute. He will then bust out a rendition of Shaggy's classic 'it wasn't me' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 They are a decent team on form. We really need to be winning this, purely because of the last 3 draws we've played out. I think we will win, and it will restore some confidence. 2.1 villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
