Re: Cliff Pu RELEASED - Official

I'm sure we've all questioned some of Fox's decisions, but in terms of professionalism and leading the club during some very difficult events he gets an A+. Regarding Pu, I was just looking at his numbers and they weren't great. 4 + 7 from 18 games is a poor return from what was supposed to be one o...

Re: Player signings thread - Sheffield...

I was just looking back at our lines in the grandslam season. During the Christmas period when we were outstanding, the lines against Nottinghsm were: Juusola/Watling/Neumann Balmas/Dowd/Vally Ciampini/Simpson/Allen Shudra/Whistle/Nicholls I wouldn't mind seeing something like those top two lines ag...

Re: Player signings thread - Sheffield...

I was hoping for some new superstar, but as a quick replacement I've no issue with Watling. He has loads of skill, is popular, brings enthusiasm and possibly most important.....he wants to be here. It will probably take him a few weeks to get fully match fit, but he strikes me as someone who is natu...

Re: Forum Maintenance

Your efforts are really appreciated guys. I sometimes have a read of the Sheffield United forum and that is horrible reading due to all the adverts constantly flashing up. This forum is a nice simple read and a great place to celebrate a win or vent our frustrations (did i ever mention faceoffs?). T...

Re: Player signings thread - Sheffield...

No doubt there have been a few errors in judgement in some of the recruitment during the summer, although in some cases there may have been reasons for this (ie. Losing Whistle quite late on). One thing is for certain, we really need to get the replacement for Pu right. There's a crucial two or thre...

Re: Cliff Pu RELEASED - Official

This situation could potentially cause an issue in the dressing room, but I have every confidence in Robert Dowd to make sure that won't happen.

Re: Cliff Pu RELEASED - Official

This is a real opportunity to push on.

Pu wasn't a 1st line centre, if Fox can find one we're in business.

Re: GAME THREAD: Steelers v Clan, Sat 13th Dec.

A game won in a 5 minute period. In those 5 minutes we were superb, with good passing, immediate control and clinical finishing. The other 55 minutes felt like the Coventry game, where we huffed and puffed in front of goal, but didn’t have a clue how to put it in. I assume Cormier got the man of the...

Is this a bad thing? I can't think of one player who if missing would be detrimental to the team.

Probably only Cormier.
It leaves us one import short, but that shouldn't be the end of the world.
