Have to wonder, did he pick up a knock when he was dressed up as a snowman?

You're right again Plaistow, my memory is going :?
One thing i did remember from earlier though, David McGoldrick is yet to score in the Premier League for the Blades. You know the drill!

David McGoldrick hasn’t scored so far this season.

Life savings on it...

All down to midfield for me in this one, we have to dominate and dictate, we have the technically better players by a mile but they have a much better balanced unit that work their arse off.

I reckon we'll get at least a draw, and I can see it being a tight 0-0/0-1. As for being in form, they have one win in their last four games, and that was against Fylde.

Cautiously optimistic just because we showed we were able to handle the balls flying into our box in the Gillingham game. Crosses are always a volume proposition, you put the ball in the area and play the percentages. The aerial crosses from Sheffield United will be no different, no better or worse than Gillingham's averaged out throughout the game.

If we can survive the Gill's, then I'm hopeful that we can put in the same kind of defensive performance against Sheffield. We've been using our fullbacks more effectively, there has been more overlapping runs out wide and Fornals have been a willing runner into the box from midfield. Coupled with the fact that Anderson is showing signs of life and linking up with those runs makes me confident we'll at least score in this one. We should be able to take advantage of the space left behind, our counter-attacking has actually been pretty good over the last couple of games.

If the players are up for a fight, they will win. And reasonably comfortably - 2-0 or 3-1. If they aren't willing to compete then it could be a reversal, which would be disappointing as it would stop our momentum.

Hope we go back to four at the back and are prepared to work between the lines and move the ball about with speed and purpose.

I don't think we'll lose, but it'll be a tough game.

1-1 or 2-1 to us

If we match them for effort/ fight we can easily get something. As some have said, as important as Antonio is for us he really does get injured a lot. Very frustrating.
