Brooks Ched up front

[bertieblade]

no sharp, Clark or the don in squad

 

[8lade]

This makes me nervous.

 

[Tyler Durden]

What's the nature of Billy's injury?

 

[bertieblade]

Only striker on bench is Thomas, but at least we have carruthers and I would push him up front or play with no striker.
Back five with overlapping fullbacks and five midfield players all getting forward as required. Norwich would not know who to pick up

 

[ucandomagic]

Fuck - if ever there was a day for Brooksy to step up to the plate, become a man and grab the opportunity today is the day.

Stuck overseas today so missing my first home game for 3 years - come on Brooksy make my day!

The Magic is Back

 

[Sothall_Blade]

Let's hope they can both give CW a major selection headache for the derby

 

[Stretch]

Better this happens today than next week. We should at least have Donaldson and Clarke back for that. Sharp hopefully.

On the plus side, looking forward to seeing Brookes and Ched together.

Nathan Thomas is a Winger isn't he?

 

[robbiez666]

A worrying lack of depth upfront in the squad. One half fit striker in the matchday squad.

 

[Blade58]

Sharp apparently pulled stomach muscle

Clarke apparently family reasons

Put a bit of downer on things

Sat here on kop wondering where the goals might come from

Can play either mate. Raight, gutted Billy's out but well up for Brooksy starting, they've got men out too, let's have the yeller bastards!!

Brooks and Ched mate. Happy to help

 

[Berlin Blade]

The stage is set for Brooks. Really hoping he's playing as a support striker rather than out wide. Not worried while we have the three dynamos playing in the middle.

I wouldn't say it's a lack of depth, we actually have 6 strikers which is a lot, it's just injuries which is unlucky.

 

[BigBed]

Been hoping to see Thomas, I think he's capable of surprising a few of us, hopefully I'm right and he provides us with another option.

 

[Danny_Boy]

Surprised we've not had a Clarke & Sharp been fighting rumour yet!

Of course you are right Robbie. You won't get any acceptance of that on here until the goals dry up. Then it'll be......

 

[JohnDenver]

Best explanation I've heard yet. Let's go with that.

You hoo .. Am in Westfield. Wonder the same.

 

[BigBed]

Think there's an eye on Wendy here too!

 

[Bladeinleeds]

This is certainly not ideal.

Hence why we wanted 3 on deadline day. That agent fucking about could prove very very costly.

We can't do months with a semi fit striker as our only option. With out of position players on the bench.

Time for someone from the under 23 to step up and give us an option at least?

 

[Bridge Blade]

Maybe flecky gets one against his uncles former club? Fingers crossed!

 

[mancunianblade]

How this for a prediction, resting em for Wendy game, still win today,2-0 Goals for Ched and Brooks

 

[Harry's Game]

Radio Sheff not sounding confident on Sharp being back anytime soon.

 

[Harrisblade]

That's right!
Nobody would think for a moment that 6 or 7 strikers could ever be sufficient

calm down robbie. not many teams could cover the loss of four front line strikers..it's all set up for ched (who will score against the pigs.. you read it here first)

yeah they'd fucking love that the pig b*stards

 

[Berlin Blade]

Would Wilder be lying? He might be. Massive bluff if so. I do like the idea that Wednesday literally have no idea how we'll set up. Will Clarke be back from his (bit vague) 'family reasons'? Will Sharp be back from his (bit vague) 'unknown injury'? Will Donaldson be fit? Where's Lavary? Where's Hanson?

Lavery is out for a month with his eye socket, Hanson has a thigh injury. Not sure about the other 3

 

[Mesut Özil's Lawnmower]

Wilder is certainly ballsy enough to try and rest our strikers and bluff a bit

Really hope he is cause I can't bare the thought of going to the sty next week without Billy at least

Ched and Brooks need to step up big time today

Coutts, Fleck and Duffy with perfect games would help too
