Sheff Utd with big players will be lumping the ball into our box and guaranteed to score at least once. Tricky winger on the right (McAfee) and the whole seems to fight for every ball. Guess the trio of Schlupp (operating in the middle of no mans land waving his arms), Hughes and Mateta will see very little of the ball.
Not an easy game based on their spirited performance in second half vs West Ham (2-2).

It’s nearly 4 years to the day that a Wilder managed Sheffield United beat a Hodgson managed Palace 1-0 at Selhurst from a Guiata own goal.
This has no bearing on the result of next Tuesday’s game , but I recall that game quite well.
Wilder puts out physical and competitive teams that are strong on set pieces and direct in attack.
He will have noted Henderson’s weakness on crosses and the inability of our centre halves to dominate in the air.
We have more experience of the Premier League and in general better players , but you could have said that about the game v Luton too which we lost this season.
I suspect Hodgson will be in charge for this game and will play his most battle hardened team for the occasion.
It’s difficult to assess how the game will go given our terrible home record despite the fact that Sheffield United are one of the worst teams in the division.
It wouldn’t surprise me if it was a low scoring draw.
If this happens , and the following game is a miserable defeat away at Brighton , I fail to see how Hodgson survives.

A couple of adds to the pre match comments from Roy

Having a fit again Tomkins is a huge asset to the squad {subsequently stubs his big toe during pre match meal and is withdrawn from match day squad)

Update on Olise…..he looked good walking to the shops last week so I am optimistic that his injury is not as bad as it could be. The physio staff haven’t told me that he won’t be fit sometime so that’s good news.

Really is Groundhog Day. Relying on one player to be fit, to lead the front line, create chances & score the goals. And the team being crap when he isn’t playing.

Can’t think I’ve seen them looking like anything else this season

Imagine if they'd paid to get in.
