hogesar 9,668 Posted December 5, 2019 At home too. Not sure if that's potentially a good or bad thing heading into Sunday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KiwiScot 1,443 Posted December 5, 2019 I'm concerned at ourselves for not getting wins in the Premier league which is know for inconsistent results among most of its teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KiwiScot 1,443 Posted December 5, 2019 So I'd say a draw on Sunday. In regard to the OP its bad we are exactly who Sheffield want to take out their frustrations on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Number9 272 Posted December 6, 2019 Sheff had 70+ % possession, didn't have too many attempts on target but the Newcastle keeper pulled off some cracking saves. Newcastle only had a few attempts and scored with two of them, the second one being a curious case of Sheff players stopping for offside, Newcastle played to the whistle and scored an easy tap in. Can't see us defending for the game, keeping a clean sheet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FenwayFrank 2,459 Posted December 6, 2019 Lots of balls played in from wide positions, they worked really hard. You would expect them to score against us to be honest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobLoz3 492 Posted December 6, 2019 Well, we never beat Sheff Utd last season. We drew and lost. So expect something similar as they've strengthened and we haven't. As long as we're not on the end of a tonking a la Villa and put in a decent enough performance I'll be happy. I desperately want us to win though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 274 Posted December 6, 2019 Historically they do well travelling here and haven't lost away this season. It will be a tough game and we will need to be at our sharpest to win it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ron obvious 1,502 Posted December 6, 2019 Respect to Mr. Wilder for his comments today. And respect for the way he's getting his team to perform; we're going to have to improve a helluva lot on Wed. to get anything out of the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,820 Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) The concerning thing about the way other results are panning out is that we're nearly halfway through the season and all of our relegation rivals (aside from Watford) are picking up points at a rate of at least one per game. If this trend continues then we'll end up with a congested mid-table and a situation where we probably need 40 points to survive, whereas the average is usually around 35 or 36. Hopefully a couple of them have bad runs in the New Year so our required points total to survive drops slightly.
