Get mullered away from home again :hihi::hihi:
Not too clever away from the Sty are they :D

The blades win

Brian Laws gets spanked by sturrock, and then goes on to see his team lose later in the afternoon

Get mullered away from home again :hihi::hihi:
Not too clever away from the Sty are they :DBit of a rocket scientist you then CD.:thumbsup:.Got done again today but given the break coming up and players coming back all not lost.One win behind the blades isnt that bad at this stage of the season.Roll on our next home game.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

with the resources we have i'm cant complain with where we are. a bit worrying how many goals we're shipping, especially after having such a decent defence last season but adds to the fun eh:suspect:

is there some trophy for goals coincided this season or summat ?

When we collapse, we collapse in style. Could have shipped 4 or 5 at Charlton, shipped 6 at Reading, could have lost to Ipswich. It's all well and good praising Grant for world class saves in the last few games, but I ask again, WHY does he have to make so many? The word on the street is Spurr is a good player, Woods is a good player, Beevers is a good player and Grant's a good solid 'keeper. The remaining players must be a pile o' rubbish then, shipping goals like we do. Is it the defensive midfielders who are not performing or what?
We ARE good enough for a top 10 finish ... we've seen evidence of this in the past, so why are we surrendering so easily away from home at the moment?
I'm certain Laws will sort it.
We'll be reight!

Sodje's coming back, Simek's coming back, and that's two excellent signings!

3rd worst goals against in the division only better than the bottom 2 teams and was READING on these pages somewhere they were the best defence in the division with the best goalie :huh::huh:

Makes for lot of fun on here leading up to the Sheffield derby

We were good enough at your sty last season! :hihi:

erm....... how do you work that out? :huh:
you were 2-0 up and still stuffed it up again :hihi:

i challenge any blunt to find an owls fan that said we had the best defence in the league. last season we had 1 of the better defences but not this season:(. grant is a very good keeper from what i've seen so far but the defence arent doing him any favours

erm....... how do you work that out? :huh:
you were 2-0 up and still stuffed it up again :hihi:Ithink four points again will do this season:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Its not often that Wednesday lose (well it is).... But when they do lose.... They lose bad..

Ithink four points again will do this season:thumbsup::thumbsup:

only 4 points.......i'm hoping for 6 points against your lot :D

Is your only hope of achievement this season beating us?
If it is, you will be extremely dissapointed ;) :cool:

You were quoted as saying "one of the best defences in the league".

6 conceded v Reading, 4 conceded v Wolves and now 4 conceded v Plymouth.

you seem to have missed out 1 important part of what i said- LAST SEASON. this season it is looking terrible at times but i'd rather be leaking goals like we are and be 9th rather than be doing the same as last season

Get mullered away from home again :hihi::hihi:
Not too clever away from the Sty are they :D

No we arent very good away but we are pretty decent at home :)

erm....... how do you work that out? :huh:

I always knew that people who read teabags were loopy!
We embarrassed you at Hillsborough, and then we ......
er, drew away from home against your 'multi million pound' superteam ! :loopy:
And we had to score an own goal to bail you out !
Roll on the Derby!! Bring on Sodje, Simek and Jeffers!

your win at the sty was due to robson's very poor negative tactics and not knowing what it meant to us. the only passion i saw from him was when we beat his rivals man city in the cup. going to be differant with blackwell.

any body who was at the 2-2 lane draw. will know you went 2-0 up totally against the run of play. in the end we was happy with 2-2 but hardly bailed out. the look on the pigs faces below me at full time was priceless as they realised the best chance of getting a double over us for 80 odd year had gone.

Was it only down to Robson then? so can i assume that you think you will beat us easily in 2 weeks ?

yes it was down to robson playing 1 up front against that crap. ok warnock did it but at chelsea, arsenal etc.

i never take owt for granted in derbys and neither should you. in fact being a blade and going for for 38 of my 48 years has learnt me to expect nothing from united. boxing day 79 we were favourites and got stuffed. your european finishing season you was the favourites and we did the double.

on paper yes we should win. pity we play on grass.

after today tho my confidence level is very high.

of course blunts will be the more confident but like you say, can take nothing for granted when its a derby. utd are favourites but it counts for nothing on the day, just like at hillsborough last year, thats the great thing about derbys:thumbsup:

Yeah but this loss was down to the long journey to plymouth?

i like a confident blade coming into a derby ;)

there's certainly more reason to have some confidence in United this time, at least they're starting to go in the right direction again, and the return of Beattie, coupled with Naughton's fantastic start, certainly gives United no reason to lay down and die, like they did under Robbo. Howard could be a new factor in midfield too.

Anything could happen on the day, assuming the referee doesn't give a huge decision one way or the other (e.g. sending off), and the decisions are fairly even, then United would fancy at least a point there, if we take our chances.

It's interesting to see some Owls fans thinking the Sodje/Simek coming back will make a huge difference - it'd seem a big risk to throw them back into that game after a while out injured, especially given the good home form without them so far this season? While Sodje terrorised the soft Bromby in January, I doubt he'll get as easy a ride against Ugo or Morgan (whichever plays). I'd think Laws would have faith with the people who've got them into the top ten, and keep Sodje on the bench as an impact player later in the game?

Hoping for a win, will take a draw, and just praying we don't lose :) The next fortnight is really going to drag!

A great win today for the Mighty BLADES, I was very suprised at the Owls score I expected at least a draw,the Owls are pretty good at home & I think it will be a tight game,if we get off to a good start I think we may just win by the odd goal.

It seems Wednesday are determined to make it a century this season. And it certainly isn't 100 points or goals scored :hihi::hihi::hihi: After all Blackpool did once concede 121 goals in a season, but surprisingly they weren't relegated. Maybe Wednesday are after that record.

Anyways from all reports Lee Grant has been offered a new signing, Mercury Taxis have come forward because they know he can get 4 in easy :hihi::hihi:

After yesterdays performance Blades SHOULD be confident but Weds have hardly conceded a goal at home so I'll certainly be happy with a point.I will be much more confident if Blackie sticks with Ugo over Morgan and after his excellent 15 minute debut surely we have to start with Howard-he looks a real matchwinner.:)

Been away at a friends, didn't get the chance to listen to the Plymouth match.

I doubt that my radio would be in tact if I had listened to it.

Disgraceful Wednesday, need to sort out our away form. Losing away is unfortunate but getting a complete spanking every time we go away (with a couple of exceptions) is completely unacceptable.

In reply to post #29 sheff71:

Simek is probably the best right back in this division and does halt the number of crosses and attacks down his side of the pitch. The defence does look tighter when he's playing, but you're right in questioning his 'match fitness'. Sodje is not George Best (or even Clyde Best), but he does worry defences tirelessly, and the ball, at least, will be in the opponents 18 yard box longer than it is at present. Just by 'defending' more from the front should make a big, big difference to Wednesday, so both player's returns, HAS to be a good thing. I reckon Owls fans suspect that we may have been a bit lucky in previous games, with many of them referring to 'how many great saves Grant has made' and 'Charlton should have had 4', 'Ipswich could easily have won it', 'Forest worried us for the last 15 minutes' etc. Against Plymouth, by all accounts, Wednesday missed 3 good chances in the 2nd half, and could, given better finishing, have pulled off a remarkable comeback. But we didn't. Apart from us playing some really good football at times, the number of openings the opposition are getting EVERY game, is very, very worrying. We cannot give Sharp and Beattie ANY space whatsoever in and around the box, or we'll be in deep trouble. We definitely can't allow Beattie the space Bristol allowed him for his 2nd goal yesterday, or there'll only be one outcome, Grant or no Grant. No team would have defended Beatties first goal. I hope the Wednesday lads made a few mental notes of what they saw. I still feel that if Wednesday perform as well as we know they can, then we won't lose, and will probably win. If the other Wednesday turn up...... it could be curtains!

If you would have asked me a week ago i would have said bring United on, but our defensive record is shocking overall, we will conceded home or away if our defence plays like it did yesterday, i didn't think i would ever say this but we missed Peter Gilbert yesterday, he's been doing well of late.
The defence was basiclly not at the race's yesterday and if they play like that against Beattie n co then i fear the worse, bring back Woody quick!!!!

I think that this rightly means that you have a wary respect for Sharp's abilities to score goals.
Unlike some of the Owls deluded posters, one of which you are certainly not, who are making fun of Sharp could be in for a rude awakening.
Anyways good luck to both teams, come out fighting and may the best one (on the day) win two weeks from today.
Steel City Derbies have to be one of the finer things in life. :thumbsup:

I can't wait me it will be one hell of occasion especially for me as ive missed the last 4 though my own stupidness.
Lets hope its a good advertisement for Sheffield and Wednesday win.
Don't forget Sodje's back lol.

Don't forget Sodje's back lol.

What has he pulled it again? :hihi:

Did someone from Radio Sheff brielfy mention Sodje and Simek MIGHT be fit for the derby game?

Simeks already back hes in training and due for a reserve game, Sodje doesn't need any training or fitness, he just waits for the United games to come around lol.

Its not often that Wednesday lose (well it is).... But when they do lose.... They lose bad..

Arsenal youth team 6 v 0 Blades first team

Lose Bad!!!

The look on your lots faces,happy with a draw against us at your place was nearly worth throwing away a 2 goal lead

it was'nt the draw we was happy with. unlike you we are never happy with anything but a win against you lot. it was keeping the 80 year derby double and 40 year since you won at the lane records in tact.

but you spin it mate.

Simeks already back hes in training and due for a reserve game, Sodje doesn't need any training or fitness, he just waits for the United games to come around lol.

I must admit i'd be worried if Sodje was back for the match, then again we've got the same threat at the other end in Beattie and Sharp.

Simek is probably the best right back in this division

I've got one comparison here..... Carlsberg claim to be probably the best lager in the world, but it isn't..... catch my drift?

We cannot give Sharp and Beattie ANY space whatsoever in and around the box, or we'll be in deep trouble.

Give Sharp as much time as you want, he won't finish ;)

Anyways, RE Saturdays game......

It was pretty even overall up until the third goal, no team looked really threatening.

Cue Howard debut, OH MY GOD. We suddenly looked like Arsenal, creating chance after chance, and could have easily finished with 6.

Within 5 minutes of his appearance, he was tackling, shooting and passing forward. All of which were the opposite to the person he replaced (Tonge). Now I don't want to get too ahead of myself, but if his debut is anything to go by, we can expect big things of him.

My MOTM was AGAIN Kyle Naughton. This kid excites me, he really does. Running at defenders, cool in defence, good crossing, good pace, good passing. This lad is going to the Premiership, with or without United....

Special mention for Ugo, another fantastic performance from him, he wins EVERYTHING in the air. He is immense.

Give Sharp as much time as you want, he won't finish ;)

Do you not rate Sharp?

I don't understand the split between the Blades, Sharp seems to be the sort of player who is either rated highly or not at rated at all?

I love Sharp, his movement off the ball is excellent, he's a perfect partner for Beattie and he creates a lot of chances for his team mates and if we play football instead of lumping it long he's great in and around the box.

It's not that I don't rate Sharp, it's just I think we have other better strikers than him. Well one who compliments Beattie well. That is Danny Webber.

I know people won't agree with that, but whenever they've played up front together they've looked very dangerous. For me Webber isn't suiting the left wing completely, however this seems to be currently the only way he will get into the team.

Sharp squanders a lot of easy chances. There was 2 against Watford he should have slammed home, there was another on Sat where he just had to put the ball in the net after a fantastic ball from Beattie.

Sharp does a lot of running, but his finishing is worrying at times, his passing non-existent, his heading has improved but still not good, has barely any pace, loses the ball too easily.

However on his plus side, he holds the ball up well for a man of his size, his crossing is improving no end and he is a Blade.

Had he not had that last quality, you can bet money he would have been hounded out of the team last year and sold by now.

I'm shocked, Webber over Sharp? Webber is poor at best, headless chicken springs to mind!!

Better than a useless headless chicken :D

As per my post earlier i don't understand the split on Sharp, we look a much better team with him and Beattie upfront.

Webber is a bit of a one trick pony who.

We're going to have to agree to disagree on this one.

You will have more on your side to be fair.

I just want Webber and Beattie to be given a run of say 7/8 games up front together. I honestly think it would work well.

If Webber can form a fantastic partnership with Shipperley, I have no problems in thinking he will form an even better one with Beattie.

i like sharp but i also like webber blackwell stuck with sharp which i was pleased about,i just wish he would give webber the same chance as i think he could do a better job than sharp with is pace imo

Actually, we played better on Saturday and created far more, than when we won at Charlton. But despite having more shots (both on and off target) than Plymouth meant nothing , as they gave us a lesson in finishing

The ball didn't run for us, as it had at Charlton, and we defended badly at times.
The first goal was partly down to the conditions.

But had we played them six weeks ago in good weather, the team would have been stuck for 12 hours on the coach on the way there in holiday traffic, and we'd probably have been beaten 8-0

Great performance by the blades- i really think we were going to come unstuck against them cos bristol are a good side- i just hope we can keep it together and keep this run going now and establish a good lead in the top 5-6 teams.

I saw the goals on the Championship yesterday, as for Grant been the best keeper in the League (yet another comment that seems to be all part of Laws' morph into Neil Warnock) i'd say he was at fault for 2 of the goals.

Grant is an inexperienced goalkeeper, who is learning his trade.

That's what you get when you take a keeper on a free transfer.

He's always made good saves, and been prone to errors or reluctant to come off his line (something gained by experience) , like many others. This season he had grown in confidenece, before Saturday!

Haven't seen the goals on the TV.
(Had a very good weekend in the west country, despite the result and weather. Always enjoy going to Plymouth.
If I had to choose where we would lose 4-0 in the course of a season, Plymouth would be high on the list.)

Grant was Def at fault for the first.
Which other one did you think he was at fault with?

I thought their second was a good goal.

Thought Grant did well to even half stop Fallon's bicycle kick volley , that lead to the third, and the fault was nobody else reacted to the rebound. He really got hold of it. It would have bust the net.

But that was only my alcohol impaired view.

(I can't remember the fourth.)

I thought he could have done better than just palm it straight down infront of him actually.

I thought he could have done better than just palm it straight down infront of him actually.

Me too, and he seemed out of position for the last goal.

Geocol, if you want to see the goals you can watch them on the virgin media website.

yes it was down to robson playing 1 up front against that crap. ok warnock did it but at chelsea, arsenal etc.


I keep hearing that excuse from blades, but what about the fact that you played the second half with two strikers and still didn't score?

Geocol, if you want to see the goals you can watch them on the virgin media website.
Thanks mate, that's very thoughtful of you.

But, I don't think I'll lose any sleep over not seeing them.

(I managed to live the first thirty -five plus years of my life without seeing ours and goals against us every week.)

I keep hearing that excuse from blades, but what about the fact that you played the second half with two strikers and still didn't score?

How about this excuse, we were pony, lacked any fight, Armstrong got run raged by Johnson, Bromby was given the a lesson by Sodje, our midfield was weak and uncreative and for 45 minutes Hulse didn't get a touch.

We were awful and you lot were well up for it at Hillsborough last season, no excuses for it on our behalf and i'm hoping Blackwell gets them going this season.

We're looking better as a unit and Beattie is making a return to goal scoring ways.

I'm by no means confident but thats a local derby, i don't either team are going to be favourites, anything can happen.

It will be interesting team selection wise assuming that -hopefully-Howard gets a start,as to who gets dropped.

blades seem to like blaming robson for the derby defeat and rightly so partly but i cant help wondering why your players would even need any motivating, there were some sheffield lads in the squad so surely they would of let any player know how important it was to the fans. to be fair on grant he hasnt made too many mistakes that i remember. all keepers make them, even great keepers so hopefully it will help improve him

It wasnt just that they needed motivating.. His tactics were all wrong! Taking nothing away from Wednesday though, they were superb on the day.

Now ive had time to reflect i am looking forward to the derby match.
The tide hasn't turned in one game, we look good at home and United have struggled away, if we take the game to them like we have to teams at home recently, then i reckon it will be a very close game.
I do fancy us to win though cause we just seem to have turned the screw in the last two derby games and we were a lot worse off in them 2.

I know im leaving myself wide open if it all goes pear shaped but can only see home win for us,blades bottle it at our place

It will be interesting team selection wise assuming that -hopefully-Howard gets a start,as to who gets dropped.

I do feel Howard may have a say in some way or another just like Beattie, maybe a red card or a goal, just like i feel its almost written in the script that Sodje or even the much melined Franny Jeffers could step up and take the mantle of king of Sheffield for a few weeks, this is really built up to be "hopefully" one of the best Sheffield derbys for years.
Lets all get to Hillsborough and show England how much of a rivalry we really have!:thumbsup:

it will be a close game for sure, couldnt say who will win though. i dont think we should be pinning our hopes on sodje though, he is good but we have done well without him so far. wouldnt mind seeing franny start the game, then if he gets injured or needs a rest throw sodje on to give them something to think about

I think the key will be whether United get a goal early in the game, Wednesday's defence may collapse again. If Wednesday get into the game , their confidence will be dangerous coupled with derby day fight

blades bottle it at our place

i've seen us win 3 or 4 times at yours. have you ever seen wendy win at ours.

eh??? apart from last year we have a great record at your place and i can't remember us 'bottling' it since i have been watching the blades (28 years)

I never heard the last of the 2-0 loss from my Dad and the rest of the pigs...... When we beat you this time i will destroy them :D

eh??? apart from last year we have a great record at your place and i can't remember us 'bottling' it since i have been watching the blades (28 years)

You've won 3 of your last 16 Hillsborough derbies, of which Wednesday have won 7 with the other 6 drawn.

Whilst it's obviously better than our record at your place, I wouldn't go so far as to call that a "great record".

I feel privilaged to have seen all three wins for the Blades at Hillsborough, '92 3-1, 2001 2-1 and 2006 2-1 again.

So we havn't lost at least 60% of our recent derbys at hillsborough?

thats not too bad considering its our biggest rival.

So we havn't lost at least 60% of our recent derbys at hillsborough?

thats not too bad considering its our biggest rival.

Well, actually 56% and not "at least 60%" if you're going on the stats I provided.

But then again, even despite what is often quoted as our dreadful record at your place, we've only lost 3 of the last 10 derbies there!

In fact if we go on the last 16 derbies at the lane to match the 16 Hillsborough derbies I stated earlier, United have won 6, Wednesday 2, with 8 draws so Wednesday are unbeaten in 62.5% which is a better unbeaten record than your 56%! (yes, I know we haven't won as many before BB sticks his oar in).

Just goes to show that despite having not won at the lane in 40 years the Sheffield derby is still one that really could go either way on the day. Derbies eh - I love 'em and I hate 'em at the same time, and that's what makes them great.

i've seen us win 3 or 4 times at yours. have you ever seen wendy win at ours.

in a word NO
we don't perform at your place,must be the stench

eh??? apart from last year we have a great record at your place and i can't remember us 'bottling' it since i have been watching the blades (28 years)

So you didn't start watching blades until after 79
wonder why:rolleyes:

So you didn't start watching blades until after 79

29yrs and still harking on about it, i was only 2yr old at the time so it had no effect on my support of the Blades.

I'm sure those Blades who were there have taken comfort in the 1991/92 and 2004/05 doubles over you lot.

So you didn't start watching blades until after 79
wonder why:rolleyes:

Could never be accused of being a GLORY HUNTER could he.
Starts watching the Blades a season after the boxing day massacre makes him all the more a better Blade in my book :thumbsup::thumbsup:
