Sheffield Utd 2-0 Bolton - Match Report Post 49

I don't fancy this. There's more chance of xmiles joining the Tory party than a Bolton victory.

Sheffield Utd 3-1 Bolton.

i tend to agree Nat, think we may lose 2-1 but could be more if Trotter and Moxey start

Everybody expects Sheff U to stuff us, but if Parky has the brains and the balls to get after them from the off instead of doing a Bradford we might have a chance.
Being the underdog can only help because this squad appear to believe their own hype at times so this may encourage them to work harder.
I say gamble on a back 3 and pack the midfield with pace to give them something to worry about and maybe, just maybe we'll break them down. 
We have nothing to lose by going for it.

We've already beaten them twice this season. They'll be quaking in their boots!

They had 18 shots last Saturday and scored one. Did we secretly transfer Madine to them in the Window?

I'm not confident. I think we'll get tommed.

Think we'll do them, mainly because I can't get a ticket and we always win away when I'm not there.

With Trotter and Moxey no chance, leave them two in Bolton, and we have a chance.

We need to get stuck in to them from the off and be positive, if we do then a win is possible, two evenly matched sides IMO.

2-2 draw.

We have beaten these mugs twice already so we have that psychological advantage over them, I reckon it will be a tight 1-0 away win

I've no confidence whatsoever in winning this. I agree with Lusty but it will be a containment job as usual and Sheff Utd will know that if they get after us and put pressure on from the off then we'll more than likely buckle. I think it'll be a case of riding out an early storm and being decisive on the counter. If we can do that then maybe, just maybe, we'll have a chance.

Sheffield despite having the joint best home record (with us) are vulnerable they have failed to win 3 of there last 6 home games, lost to Fleetwood & drew with Scunthorpe.  They struggled against a 9 man Bury so they are no shoe in.

If this was a  BWFC  with two fit full backs, Spearing in midfield and our pre Christmas strike force i would fancy us to get something. BUT that is not the case new recruits still bedding in up front no Spearing, and a change of system at the back give Sheffield the edge.

Selection is key if Trotter plays we are down to ten men from the off, i think i would also go back to Howard in goal, pack midfield with some pace and go with one up front. We need to start well and not give them a start (Bradford) if we are level late on they may well panic. all in all i will be happy to come out of this level with the other top clubs.

i see their Manager is trying to make a thing out of a pissed up Madine (what a surprise) calling Billy Sharp on a video clip doing the rounds on social media.

If Madine was half the player Billy Sharp is we'd be 10 points clear at the top.

If Madine was half the man Billy Sharp is he wouldn't be so disliked by Bolton fans.

Billy Sharp was caught on video doing the same kinda thing, they're both cunts

Very negative from Wheater etc unless they are trying to play some sort of mind game but it seems to me that they are talking as if Sheff U have won already.

Sheff Utd always bottle it, I don't think they'll go up in the autos

I hope your right Boggers. As a club, we have no plans past this season, and if we don't make it, we could well and truly be in the shit.
