They’re at home to Brentford on Saturday, hopefully they see that as the game for the new man to start with.

[Four Four Three]

Hopefully Darwin scores, would do him a world of good. That aside, 3 points is all that matters

[Ghost Town]

With Simon Hooper as ref.

Expect anything the points to go to Spurs!

Fixed that

Possible they may even rest a few with that seen as the easier game to get something from?

It doesnt matter if they get Guardiola in interim charge for our game, we have to win. They are shite.

[Fromola]

They can game raise Sheff U. City and Spurs needed injury time goals to beat them. It's obvious we'll get that team and not the one that's folded like a pack of cards in other games.

Teams always turn up against us and it'll be a scrap.
 Look at Luton.

Yeah. We shouldn't fall into the "this will be a easy game" trap and get complacent.

[Saltashscouse]

My first ever away game was against these back on Boxing Day 1972 , we won 3-0 lets hope we can repeat that score 

[duvva 💅]

This is it, the ultimate footballing test -  a cold Wednesday night at Bramall Lane

I was at the League Cup semi final there in 2003? I think. That was Fuckin freezing

And we bloody lost

Neil Mellor’s first goal I think.

[MD1990]

Play like we did against Fulham/Luton and this will be another Luton result 0-0 / 1-1.

We need to stop getting done on the counter.

Too many players want to be the hero in our team and forget about defensive responsibilities.  It speaks to our youthfulness.

In saying that I don't think Klopp or the team will allow that with both games at the forefront of our mind.

Comfortable and professional is how I see it going.

Great point.
We really are much less of a team atm as we were in 18-20 during our peak. We had players rarely shooting from range.
Much different now but still in the early days this squad has huge potential just needs a bit more balance

[duvva 💅]

Neil Mellor’s first goal I think.

Yep, sounds right. Think Michael Tongue scored for them and was then linked with a move to us for ages

[Crosby Nick]

Yep, sounds right. Think Michael Tongue scored for them and was then linked with a move to us for ages

They had him and Michael Brown didn’t they. Paddy Kenny in goal. Warnock as manager, horrible set of lads! Think they accused Henchoz of spitting after we beat them at Anfield.

[Ghost Town]

Yep, sounds right. Think Michael Tongue scored for them and was then linked with a move to us for ages

Imagine how much more successful we'd have been if we'd gone with Tongue...

[Zlen]

Expecting a very difficult game. Their league position doesn't mean much here. They'll be up for it and they'll sit deep and fight for every ball. I'm not exactly filled with confidence in our defensive abilities after Fulham either and we'll probably have to rotate the defense somewhat because they've played a lot of football. So yeah, expecting a pretty tight and difficult game. I do hope that if we score first we shut the shit out of the game. Let them attack, pick them off on the counter. We defend pretty well when we sit back as we have demonstrated against City. No need to rush for more, keep it tight for a while and see if an opening presents itself.

[Jm55]

Yep, sounds right. Think Michael Tongue scored for them and was then linked with a move to us for ages

He was linked to us for ages before that match!

[NarutoReds]

Just sacked their manager.

Former manager Chris Wilder is among the leading contenders to take over.

Just a heads up to everyone that this game is on Amazon Prime tomorrow.

Might be useful for those with a subscription.

[So… Howard Philips]

I think you can get a month’s subscription for the footie only, for £6,99.

We’ve got this game and Burnley in that time period but there are plenty of other games as well.

[ScottScott]

Kept City quiet the week before and then had a bad day at the office against Fulham and now all of a sudden no one trusts our defence (despite being the 2nd best in the league)

These are absolutely dogshit. Just been beaten 5-0 by Burnley as well as being on the end of some massive defeats. We should be going there and putting 3 or 4 past them. They'll be dogged and up for it but the difference in quality should be too much

Game's aren't played like that of course and it'll probably be tougher than that but I'm not worried at all

[Zlen]

Is this available on Prime only in UK or does it work for Ireland as well?

As long as we don’t show the same complacency as we did against Luton and Bordeaux we’ll be fine.

This is all part of the development of what is still a relatively new team and grinding out away wins against teams like these are an essential element of that development.

And we defended exceptionally well against Spurs but for a fluke own goal.

Was that the game where they stuck a massive S*n hoarding advert right in front of our away fans?

[End Product]

These next two are a test if we are serious or not, come on the reds .

[shank94]

Really need an early goal tomorrow, quieten the crowd and start playing our footy.

[[new username under construction]]

I would expect even if he goes they'd write this one off for a new manager and have some staff in charge

[No666]

Their managerial change seems to be happening today. Gives Wilder tomorrow to deliver a pep talk basically. We just need to be awake and energetic from the outset.

[duvva 💅]

I never knew that. I suppose I wouldn’t have seen it there, and probably didn’t watch the highlights as I was still thawing out days later

Edit: And I don’t recall us being very good so probably didn't want to watch anyway

[Davidbowie]

We're crap away from home. And we made Luton Town look good.

1-1

[BarryCrocker]

Just hoping they don't get any sort of new manager bounce.

[DangerScouse]

We're crap away from home. And we made Luton Town look good.

1-1

That's the spirit.

[jillcwhomever]

That's the spirit.

He's always like this.

[ScottScott]

We're crap away from home. And we made Luton Town look good.

1-1

We didn.t, they were battered all game and hit us on a good counter

[Cafe De Paris]

Why do we end up with the ref who just made a massive balls up in the last game. Not his first either.

[lamonti]

A lot for us to prove on the road. Anyone know what kit we're wearing?

I think we've learnt from the Luton game where we went in overconfident.

[NarutoReds]

There is no way we are going to lose this. Almost impossible.

[newterp]

Into these greasy chip butty consuming twats. No mercy. Score early. Score again. Have a think. Kill it off early in the second half.

The alternative is a horrible slog which is always a possibility with us away from home. Would be nice to have one of those hammerings we do sometimes dish out though. But, as Joseph once said, any win will do.

you says this like it's an insult?

[Qston]

Let's obliterate the new manager bubble - and I mean a 6+ goals hammering
