Sheffield United

Could we see Sheffield United relegated? Wonder what the odds on that were at the begging of the season.

Just goes to show how one or two wrong decisions can have such a huge impact.

I can’t see this fella turning it around. The longer he seems to be in place the drop to League One seems inevitable.

I don't think they will be relegated, I think that over the course of the season there will be three teams worse than them. Selles plays a high risk high press style game, but if you can keep them out then they are horrifically open at the back - that was in evidence against Brizzle, against us and again last night.

If Selles cannot get a tune out of their squad another manager will.

They took a calculated risk keeping their squad together after relegation last year, when they failed to go up there was always going to be transition as they had to cut almost all their best players / high earners and start bringing in new blood on lower salaries.

To be fair though, last night they were largely ripped apart by one player who cost Ipswich £20m - thats an insane price to pay for a Championship player but parachute payments do that.

I don’t think they’ll go down either. If they replace the manager sooner rather than later.

Yet again I didn’t think Luton would go down last season.

Sheffield United early on was one of the reasons that people declared in June that we had a tough start to the season.
The Championship is crazy and doesn't work like that. Looks like it's them that's had the tough start.

I said a couple of weeks ago we should have beaten them by more, and a good team firing on all cylinders would have. All things considered we played them at the right time and before the inevitable improvement. Good to see at least one team struggling badly early doors, always helpful.

They’ll be getting that chris wilder back in (Billy) sharpish

The way the owners treated Wilder, he’d be a fool to go back to work for them

I watched the first half, didint look like a team to be down 0-3 , but defending was gash.
