For all the reservations about Balogun squeezing out Dickie and/or Dunne, he Haa shown to be a level above those 2. Despite his error on Saturday
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the Earth all one's lifetime." (Mark Twain)

Sheffield United have only conceded 1 in 5 games I think, so tomorrow has got 0-0 written all over it, which I'd be delighted with.
They've also scored the joint highest number of goals in the Championship. Whereas we've conceded the third highest number of goals in the top ten teams and twice as many as Sheffield United.
Having said that we've got more players back and are a more potent striking force than at the beginning of the season. A match fit Paal and Laird have made us much more difficult to play against.
The question may be how Beale will deal with the almost certain high press and physicality of United. As an indication, they've had 27 bookings, the second highest in the league, compared with our 16.

It was mainly his error, but I think Clarke-Salter could and should have done better to cut the cross out. He was running with his hands behind his back which slowed him down and imo is a ridiculous way to defend.
Recalling him straight back in seemed a bit unfair on Dunne, especially after being part of the defence keeping the 1st 2 clean sheets of the season.
