Championship 08-05-2025: Play-off 1st leg - Bristol City v Sheffield United

[West Oxon U’s]

Manning v Wilder





I’ve got a sneaky feeling Bristol City will win tonight.

I really rate Max Bird and Jason Knight in the heart of the Robins’ midfield. Rob Dickie starts.
McGuane on the bench.

 

[Foley]

McGuane seems to have started 11 games this season plus a few as substitute.
Almost all as a defensive midfielder.

 

[Royalstandard74]

Come on the Blades.

 

[TailsWeWin]

Come on the Blades.

Yup. We don’t want them hanging around in the Championship next year.

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Hopefully a Sheff U win and then Coventry beat them in the final.

 

[JOHN BOY]

Is sykes injured?

 

[West Oxon U’s]

 

[West Oxon U’s]

Is sykes injured?

Yes - he injured a quad a few weeks back.

 

[Royalstandard74]

Hopefully a Sheff U win and then Coventry beat them in the final.

Would rather a Sheffield v Sunderland final.

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Would rather a Sheffield v Sunderland final.

Any of Sheff U, Sunderland and Cov going up will be a good thing as all 3 will be strong teams next season, I’d just rather see Coventry go up out of the 3.

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Is it just me who thinks Gary Weaver has become the voice of the play offs?

 

[Paul Cannell]

The bloke who's commentating? Horrible sort of know-all I imagine you'd meet at a gofl club bar.

 

[Paul Cannell]

Anyway, I hope Wilder's team win this. Then lose in the final.

 

[West Oxon U’s]

Daniel Mann is the better commentator imho.

 

[holdsteady]

Wilder taking the goal being disallowed as well as if someone ate his pasta.

 

[West Oxon U’s]

It was harshly disallowed - can see why Wilder has blown his top there.

Really! I'd be livid if an offside player stopped us clearing a goal bound shot. I thought it was a bloody good decision.

We beat 2 of them this season.

Agreed, an excellent decision.

 

[notThisWayButThat]

City comms certainly do have a thing for Dead Windass.

 

[notThisWayButThat]

nooo rob dickie

 

[Matt W]

two disgusting dives by Sheffield United

 

[McXal]

Meant in a solely footballing sense - tough luck Manning. No sympathy from me. Hope Sheff Utd put it to bed now.

(SHOCKING decision though. I don’t even think it’s a penalty. It’s never a red card. Poor Dickie…)

 

[Didcotox]

Definite penalty, but red card perhaps a little harsh.

 

[West Oxon U’s]

Dickie sent off for a rugby tackle on Kieffer Moore. Dickie lacks a yard as we all know.

Not sure what Don Goodman has been drinking.

 

[Vancouver Yellow]

Sent off in November against Sheffield Utd at Ashton Gate too. Oh dear. Wtf was he thinking?

 

[Chippy]

definitely a foul by Dickie, was all over the back of him and pulling him back before he tried to hook the ball away. A red seemed harsh but I guessed deemed he prevented a clear goal scoring opportunity

Sheff player was looking for it but who can blame him making the most of someone all over him in the pen area of all places while 1 on 1 with goalie

 

[QR]

Moore definitely made the most of it. His legs gave way with no contact but Rob Dickie what were you doing?? Few refs would not give that... unless it was one of our players hitting the deck!

 

[SteMerritt]

Did I read that it is the ref that sent off 2 players for them at our place earlier in the season? Bristol City will be glad to see the back of him.
