Sheffield United vs Aston Villa pre match thread
« on: January 29, 2018, 10:26:18 AM »
Kick off 19:45 tomorrow.

Thought I'd post the thread.

We haven't won five league matches in a row since when? 1997/98?

Can’t wait for this. 1-2 Villa with an 83rd minute winner. It’s going to be tight though.

                                       Johnstone

Elmo                    Chester              Terry                  Hutton

                                      Tuanzebe


Snodgrass          Hourihane             Grealish           Adomah

                                          Hogan

Subs:

Bunn
Onomah
Bjorn
Taylor
Davis
Lansbury
O'Hare (Although he will pick Whelan to kill game off)

2-0
Hogan, Grealish

That is the strongest we have looked all season with strong defence and lots of movement going forward and a striker on form. They were caught cold at VP and were quickly 2-0 only then for Jedinak to have a nightmare. This game we have a better organised defence so hopefully we can score and seal the game off

Draw wouldn't be a terrible result given the next two games and it would put us back into fourth above Bristol City as well.  Would obviously prefer a win and see us maybe grinding a hard earned 1-0 result out.

we have prices as long as 2.5-1 on this one. Absurd considering we have won 4 on the bounce including away at Boro. Worth a punt surely...

Is Jedinak not fit?  If he is I'd be starting with him, no doubt.  Otherwise the team seems to pick itself at the moment.

The healthier, fresher, more motivated side to win. Last time we played a side just off an FA Cup win we burst that bubble. I'm going for a bold 3-1 to our boys. Hogan, Jack and Albert for us.
