Bris Vegas Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 They play to win games, hence their lack of draws. That’s the sort of attitude which gets you promoted from the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what any smart manager would insist on from his team, in nearly all circumstances, given that there are 3 points for a win and only 1 for draw. Not sure that's what Sheff Utd are doing, I'll take your word for it, but it is what every team should do. What's amazing is that so many managers seem to settle for 1 point in matches.

Better to loose 2 and win one, than draw three. Alghough, ironically, if your unbeaten in 3, you’re job is pretty much safe, but if you’ve lost 2 in a row, you’re in trouble, as a manager. Maybe that’s why they prefer to play for draws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top of the league. You can throw Derby in this but many clubs and fans can learn a valuable lesson from Sheffield United. Can they keep it up? Why not. Burnley, Bournemouth and Huddersfield were tipped for a collapse, they wouldn’t keep it up. Where are they now. Did tipped them as dark horse and people laughed at me at the time but who is laughing now though? On 28/10/2017 at 07:11, coneheadjohn said: Delighted for them,they deserve it too. Squad assembled cheaply on low wages playing good football,good to watch. Thoroughly deserved to beat Leeds. Thoroughly deserved to beat us to,hope we play on the front foot like that at Leeds. The contrast at work between the Owls and the Blades is amazing. From what I seen on Rams TV that day they deserved the win yes.

They outplayed us that day from what I can remember (watched on Rams TV while on holiday) we were awful grrr.

Let us know in May. How can you say who is laughing now about them being dark horses, then say to someone else to come back in May with their prediction? They have had a good start but before you start giving yourself a pat on the back, maybe wait until May Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie20 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Not necessarily - depends who the 2 teams are who you lose to. You could be taking 3 points off a bottom-end team but giving 3 to 2 of your main rivals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombo Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 We obviously need to remember though that Nigel Clough built the foundations for this terrific rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
