5 of us from Bournemouth travelling up. I suspect a good day might be spoilt by 90mins of football. Bad feeling about this one. Sheff Utd will be in our faces from the KO. Hopefully we have enough about us to try and control the game and play on the front foot.

Hope you have a great day 👍👍

The reaction of the travelling support to the result here will be very interesting.

If their fans sing we hate Wednesday, reply with we hate Saturday.

They are on a roll and we are in a poor spell. Two nil to them.

First league defeat here I think.

2-1.

We mugged them a fair bit in the games last season so think it will balance out as we'll play quite well but surprise surprise gift them a goal with poor defensive judgement.

I can't see us winning, we look short of goals and always seem to concede.  I fancy a 2-1 defeat at the Blades and then go on a 35 game winning run after the international break.

Can't see a win with Bruce's comedy defensive selections. 2-2

McGinn doubtful, Bolasie not ready, though Jack should be back. I'd take a draw, I doubt if we'll get one.
