Sheffield United- Pre Game thread

[Dan G WWFC]

Next up Sheffield United away from home.

Predictions and line ups everyone?

Neto looks to be out, what lineup should we go for?

 

[SuperGran]

Bellegarde back in hopefully
wonder if sasa is any where near starting cunha Hwang and sasa wouldn’t be too shabby.

 

[Bostin]

He’s played Cunha on the wing a bit in the last 2 games, so maybe a front 3 of Cunha-Sasa-Hwang

Hope he doesn’t change the formation again like he did against Bournemouth

 

[BillyBoots]

Start Doyle for this one and a chance for Bellegarde to shine

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Sa
Kilman Dawson Toti
Semedo Lemina Doyle Bellegarde RAN
Cunha Hwang

0-1 Wolves

HWANG

 

[Bognor_Wolf]

This is what I'd go with:

------------------------Sa-----------------------
-Semedo------Dawson----Kilman------Ait-Nouri-
---------------------Lemina---------------------
---------------Doyle-------Gomes--------------
-Hwang---------------------------------Cunha-
--------------------Kalajdzic-------------------

Subs: Bentley, Bueno, Doherty, Jonny, Traore, Bellegarde, Gonzalez, Sarabia, Silva

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

We will obviously lose and then beat spurs. Why pretend anything else is going to happen?

 

[Starsky]

They are going to threaten Derby's record.

Even without Neto, we should have too much.

 

[Northampton_wolf]

Bellegarde and Doyle for me with lemina

 

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

This is what I'd go with:

------------------------Sa-----------------------
-Semedo------Dawson----Kilman------Ait-Nouri-
---------------------Lemina---------------------
---------------Doyle-------Gomes--------------
-Hwang---------------------------------Cunha-
--------------------Kalajdzic-------------------

Subs: Bentley, Bueno, Doherty, Jonny, Traore, Bellegarde, Gonzalez, Sarabia, Silva

Where’s Toti?

Absolutely no way do we change from Toti Dawson Kilman.

Because the existing formation is working well for us?

Because the existing formation is working well for us?

But has that been because it’s brought the best out of Neto?

Stick with the hybrid 343 and 442 as it's working well. Give RAN freedom to express himself and we can adjust it if needs be. I see Sasa as a starter eventually but don't think the club sees him as ready yet. I still think we need to show faith in Fabio especially against a weaker opposition where we should create chances for him.

I don't really like a 3 man midfield with our group of players we have 'sitters' in midfielder Bellegarde I think is our main option as an '8'. Maybe Doyle could play a bit further forwards too and Lemina can sit. But I see Gomes and Traore as DMs like Lemina. Although wouldn't suprise me if Cunha eventually gets covered to CM his running from deep and good defensive stats mean I think he would be very good at it.

Kilman Dawson Toti
Semedo Doyle Lemina RAN

Bellegarde (if fit) and Sasa good options off the bench hopefully.

 

[Bossworld]

They are going to threaten Derby's record.

Even without Neto, we should have too much.

Don't forget, Derby's 11 points included 4 from Newcastle.

Based on what happened with Huddersfield a few years back, and Wolves' extreme generosity to struggling clubs over the years, I fully expect Sheffield United to have at least doubled their points tally by next week.

(It'd be nice to think we can push on instead!)

 

[Skrilla]

With no Neto, I'd go more narrow. If Bellegarde is fit, maybe a shout for playing him on the wing to keep the 3-4-3 shape, but would like to see Sasa get a chance.

[Slothmonkey]

Historically this is the type of game we struggle in. Without Neto to stretch them aswell it will be a bit more difficult. Having watched them we should win. We all know that in football nothing is guaranteed.

I would stick with the back 5 and then further forward possibly go 3 in the middle and a front two of Cunha and Hwang. Let's see what Gary pulls from his little book.

This has got to be the earliest Pre-Match Thread in modern history!

Only because I haven't put up my Wolves v Chelsea 2025/26 thread yet.

 

[Willywolf]

Tight scruffy game coming up with 1-0 either way.

 

[Sheffield Wolf]

Tickets sold out before I was able to buy one. If anybody finds they have a spare ticket, no matter how late in the day, I can get there with 15 minutes notice.

 

[Ewok vs Wolf]

hopefully they don't sack their manager before the game.

 

[Southdownswolf]

Only because I haven't put up my Wolves v Chelsea 2025/26 thread yet.

I'd hold fire on that in case of relegation.


Chelsea are in free fall....

 

[maws]

I can’t wait see the officials for this, any known blades or baggies on the top flight list? We are bound to get them if so

Kilman Dawson Toti

352 because why not??

This is what I would do.. with Bellegarde playing in an advanced position.

I would give RAN license to attack as we have Toti covering.

Yep. Way too early, no Jade, no Noddy.

It’s a bad omen, I tell ya!!!

But has that been because it’s brought the best out of Neto?

A huge contributing factor - no doubt.

My preference would be to keep it the same … if we have players available to slot in.

What next? A pre-pre-game thread? lol

Unlike premature starting of a transfer window thread you mean? @bod101 the Impaler comes out to play for that offence lol.....

 

[WickedWolfie]

A big 'if' but in this instance l am a firm believer in "if it ain't broke....."

Edited to add: Pedro is one player who currently we have no experienced like for like replacement for. Last season we would likely have played Pod.

Aw! All my fun gets spoiled...
