RadioactiveWaste Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 League Cup 2nd Round 24/08/2021 Sheffield Utd vs Derby County Bramall Lane KO: 19.45 After a hard game against Colin at his most irritating, next up is an interesting trip to Sheff utd. After relegation they've not really looked the force they were when they were on the up. Given it's the league cup, exect both sides to make quite a few changes - which from a Derby point of view is relevant because these are the players who are going to be in the league matches if anyone goes down injured. There's no reason to expect a win or fear defeat - it's a cup game and they exist to just throw things around in a mixture and see what game you get on the day.

Coneheadjohn Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I’m going out with the Blades from work,they are totally despondent. Will be in the Howard pre match I would imagine,Jagielka header to win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyMac5 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Hope to see Hutchinson, would have preferred him instead of Watson today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampant Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Do we expect Ebosele and McDonald to be available? If they are I'd go: Allsop McDonald Brown Stearman Williams Watson Shinnie Ebosele Ravel Hutchinson Stretton Roos / Byrne / Forsyth / Buchanan / Bird / Baldock / Jozwiak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammy03 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Rooney said it will be a similar side to the Salford game. I hope we can still win it though, it would be great to go on a cup run. Sheffield United are nothing to shout about, we should really go for it and get our name in the draw for the next round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammieib Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Anyone know if this game will be available to watch? I'm in Ireland currently, and could nip over to France if need be. Happy to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a day that was in '86, Rob Hindmarsh winner in front of 10k Derby fans in a 20k gate. Definitely in my top three away games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B4ev6is Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I think Derby will win and against them they will take us lightly and that will there down fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean (hick) Saunders Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I recon SU will play quite a strong team to try and get the first win of the season and start getting some momentum. As we know our team will be packed with yoof I think it could be a tough night. Intriguing though.. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not so sure. They’ve been in really poor form so far this season, and so will want to get a win here. They will see us as a team in some form and play quite a strong team. We have got a chance, but with Rooney likely to rotate the team and rest a few of the first team players/older heads, we could be in for another high scoring game (I hope, I quite enjoyed the Salford match) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robram Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Interestingly Sheff Utd U23,s have a match against Swansea U23,s on the same night . Might be a strong first team flavour for this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
