    And at the moment they're just not handling it' says the ex a Pig pundit on C5's Goal Rush, and his co pundit also said 'I feel for Sheffield United, it's such a great place to play football that everyone raises their game against them and they don't seem to have come to terms with that yet'.

    And there lies the problem as I see it lads and lasses. It's not going to be good enough to have a 'competitive' squad. We will to have need to a squad that's physically and mentally better and tougher than the rest to get out of this league. Our current squad would probably do ok and even be pushing top six if they were playing for say Fleetwood (no disrespect meant BTW), but cannot handle the pressure of fan's expectation and the fact that other clubs raise their game because it's Sheffield United and we play at one of the best stadiums in England, steeped in history. I don't want to sound like the Pork, but the professionals have confirmed it tonight, we are most teams' cup final in this division home and away.

    The other teams in this league try to do to us what we have done the the Premiership and Championship teams in the cup competitions recently. They've nothing to lose and everything to gain, and the only way we will finally break the cycle of failure will be to get together a team that's clearly head and shoulders above the rest.

    Our owners and board need to understand this. Cheap as chips with the odd splash-out like Moore isn't enough. They need to listen to what the pros and ex pros have to say because IMO, I think that they've got it spot on. We don't need to put together a team like Barnsley or even Bristol to go up, we need a team like Wolves..

    The best bit for me is " don't want to sound like the Pork....but "

    They've been playing pretty much the same teams for the past 4(?) years, if there was ever a case of thinking Sheffield United was their "Cup Final" - that feeling would've extinguished at least 3 years ago.

    Bless them.

    What makes me laugh is that they're more porky, what with being red and white stripes... :D
