Match facts
- Sheffield United are looking to complete a league double over Cardiff City for the first time since the 1984-85 season.
- Cardiff City are unbeaten in six away league matches against Sheffield United (W2 D4) since a 2-1 defeat in December 2004.
- Sheffield United lost 2-1 in their last home league match against Reading; they have never lost consecutive home games under Paul Heckingbottom, who last suffered consecutive home Football League defeats in March 2018 as Leeds United manager.
- Cardiff City have lost three of their last four league games (W1), as many as in their previous 12 Championship games combined.
- Only Billy Sharp (14) has scored more Championship goals for Sheffield United this season than Morgan Gibbs-White (10), while no player has more assists than Gibbs-White (7, level also with Sharp).

Re: SHEFFIELD UTD V CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Our record there is surprisingly good, though with our players already on the beach I really cannot see anything but a Sheff win. Shane Billie Sharp fit as he is a pain to us.
Credit to the 650 hardy souls making the long track north.
Ps we seem to get this ref a hell of a lot.

Five at the back, Watters starts. Denham starts as well.

Re: SHEFFIELD UTD V CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
How long will Watters last today I wonder!

Re: SHEFFIELD UTD V CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Langford's third Cardiff game this season. Previous were Luton Away and Huddersfield Away.

What’s the line up? Wales online has the team as a back 4 but there’s only 10 players listed in the team :hehe:

Re: SHEFFIELD UTD V CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
In my opinion Watters should be nowhere near the team after his social media nonsense after the swansea game.
Another example of our club not understanding the derby and the hurt it caused by one of our own players reacting positively to the Swansea manager after the game
I can guarantee you the Jacks would never have accepted one of their players doing the same and he’d have been hounded out
Another good reason for him not being near the team is that he doesn’t look anywhere near good enough whilst Colwill needs games

Re: SHEFFIELD UTD V CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
I think the team looks decent, although sheff utd are looking very good these days

Oh for goodness sake, stop being so precious. Morison was being castigated for not giving him more game time before he was injured. He is a City player and we paid £1m+ for him. Give the bloke a chance and lets see what he can do. He has hardly played, so how can you write him off anyway ?

Re: SHEFFIELD UTD V CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Nice run by Watters....(!) not quite the finish but good.
-
Re: SHEFFIELD UTD V CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
They are under real pressure today. Fail to win and I reckon the play offs will gone for them.

Is Watters pacey or were the defence slow?
-
Re: SHEFFIELD UTD V CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Another fair chance....good opening spell here....

The same Jacks who will likely miss out on the play offs when they hit poor form when one if their players effectively went on strike.

Watters has pace...would love him to get a goal...or two today - he IS a goalscorer if he gets a run.

Re: SHEFFIELD UTD V CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
City TV crowd noise - it's too bloody loud, same last week - drowns out the commentary
-
Re: SHEFFIELD UTD V CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
it's ok here.......Phillips having an excellent first half.
-
Re: SHEFFIELD UTD V CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Pretty much one way traffic now...be good to get to half time....terrible set plays from us.
-
Re: SHEFFIELD UTD V CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Gibbs white and berge are both quality players , too good for this level
-
Re: SHEFFIELD UTD V CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Not bad so far, chances on the break for us - they’re leaving the sort of spaces I think Colwill might have enjoyed.
-
Re: SHEFFIELD UTD V CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Could be a big day for Wrexham, Stockport a goal down at Yeovil - Wrexham’s home game with Woking is live on BT Sport, kick off5.20.

Well said, if after 5 - 10 games he's shit then move him on, but at least give him the opportunity. I think he's played pretty well during the first half.

I guess pushing Watters up pins their central defenders back a bit and creates that space. He hasn't done badly so far good pace and nice touch to Hugill before the break. Could have been more clinical with his chance and the one he squared to Drameh that got stuck under his feet.
Nice to see us playing out with a bit of composure and the passing has been ok. Sheff Utd have a bit more guile around the box though which could tell in the 2nd half.

Re: SHEFFIELD UTD V CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
1 nil 46th minute :facepalm:
-
Re: SHEFFIELD UTD V CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
bugger me......Vaulks stood off trying to block the cross.....uphill now...
-
Re: SHEFFIELD UTD V CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

Re: SHEFFIELD UTD V CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
3 mistakes. Gave the ball away in midfield trying to dribble through 4 players, didn't even try to stop cross because of a defensive cock up, and 3rd, the highly-rated [and over-rated Ng] stood looking at the goalscorer as he jumped to head the ball.
-
Re: SHEFFIELD UTD V CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Bagan indecisive on the ball like he’s been a few times today I’m afraid.
Having had to make two defensive type substitutions at half time, the last thing we needed was to concede in the forty sixth minute. Only one out of Colwill and Ikpeazu to come on then.
-
Re: SHEFFIELD UTD V CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Instant impact for Vaulks and McGuiness
-
Re: SHEFFIELD UTD V CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
I suppose if Sheff Utd beat us it makes it harder for Millwall to sneak into the play-offs.
Every cloud has a silver lining. :hehe:
-
Re: SHEFFIELD UTD V CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
I thought after a decent first season McGuiness has been running on fumes the last few games. Change of personnel has us less threatening going forward, less comfortable in possession and more imbalanced at the back. Fair play to Sheffield who came out all guns blazing in 2nd half.
-
Re: SHEFFIELD UTD V CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Very poor 2nd half since going behind.
Offered absolutely nothing going forward.
-
Re: SHEFFIELD UTD V CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
One shot on target too. Dire effort really.
Phillips kept score respectable.
-
Re: SHEFFIELD UTD V CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Overall not too bad a performance....although disappointing second half. Ralls does now seem very injury prone. All in all a work in progress and more experience for the youngsters - it's not going to happen overnight. MOM Phillips....I like what I am hearing from SM......he seems to know what he wants given his comments.....I am with him and am optimistic fort next season.

It isn't going to happen overnight, you're right, But i can't really see what Morison is attempting to do with this group of players, and i can't see what style he is trying to implement, or the role's of individuals.
