I'm not sure where Chris Wilder is going with his criticising of perceived bias from officials.

From what I've seen Sheffield United have had plenty of decisions going their way. We should have a clear penalty in the home fixture, you could actually argue 2 of them. How on earth they got a penalty against West Ham I will never know.
West Ham were denied a blatant pen at the end of that game too

Yes a blatant two handed rugby tackle right in front of the Ref too

It’s pretty obvious right? He’s trying to get that thought in the ref’s head, so that it might be a factor if there’s a 50/50 call.

I keep saying it, but getting on the front foot and scoring early is absolutely vital for us. We really need an early goal in this game, because if they have to open up we’ll be able to play through them.

I think it would have been a useful move to have taken Ben Brereton Díaz on loan. Emery would really mould him. Why only Sheffield Utd took him beats me?
I recall when he gave us quite a game performance in the championship when a young player at Forest

Tottenham, Newcastle, Man United all winning, we simply have to beat these. Wilder seemed beyond rattled in those interviews, utterly deluded.

Diaby won't start, that would be MON levels of stubbornness from Emery if he does.

They're the worst team in the league so the ideal game to bounce back, right?

Is it stubborn though? I thought I heard Bailey has some back pain, hence him not starting.

It’s precisely what Emery said but it won’t fit the narrative.
