First goal crucial ?

[blademark]

You'd think so, based on us not yet having turned around a 1-0 deficit ?
Also, we haven't surrendered a lead as yet either.
I know those stats can change in a single game, but I'm thinking if we score first, we stand a good chance of holding on to it . I'm sure it will be on Tuftys mind also, so I expect us to come out of the blocks like a steam train.

 

[Minty]

As per any other match, first goal is always crucial

 

[Cerberus Blade]

0-0 mate.

No it's not. It's helpful but not crucial. The crucial goal is the winning one.

 

[McGrath]

Will it go to penalties though

 

[Minty]

Yes, but you know what I mean

 

[FTPE]

It's imperative that we score the first 3 I'd say.

 

[blademark]

Would anyone take a 0-0 right now ?
I think I would !

 

[Minty]

Absolutely - I would take 2 points right now for both fixtures

 

[fintious maximus]

Why settle fir a draw? Surely we play our arses off and win. If we draw or lose then so be it but go for the win everday!

It's not really a case of settling for a draw, but over the season I would take two draws out of these games.

0-0 mate.

Call yourself a Blade?

We’ll score on Sunday

 

[Cerberus Blade]

Yes, but you know what I mean

I do mate yes. It would be nice to strike early and get the piggies in a panic. I'm thinking now of a Derby we played at BDTBL a few years ago. Night match. I was dead nervous before the game but at half time we were cruising 2-0 and without exaggeration it could have been 5. I was really confident we'd destroy them second half kicking towards the kop.

I think it ended up a draw? (Someone correct me if I'm wrong?).

You just can't call these Derby games but you know what? For the first time in years I know we won't come away from that game angry that we didn't turn up. No matter what the score we'll give them a right game. They'll be glad when it's over.

I think this will be a 0-0 draw though. Especially if we have no fit strikers.

Why if we won one and lost one we'd have got 1 more point that my be the difference between autos and play offs

I call myself a Balde actually! Bloody hairline went yonks ago!

Depends on if we have a fit striker on the pitch and from what we know now we won't have. Hence the 0-0 prediction.

Not for Rhodes!!

I presume you mean at the Swill.

We did a fab job when Browny scored the worldy.

But equally, if we lost both we'd have fuck all points

[davidblade]

Look we need 86more points for Wilder to get his 100 points a season on average over three seasons so leave it out. Onwards into the premiership.
P.s we are a little behind schedule , so Chris sort it out this weekend!

 

[Tezza1889]

The recent Clough team, scoring early would be a disaster in the derby as surely we'd have 80 minutes of hanging on only to get stuffed 2/1 in the final ten mins..

Chrissy wilder, nah, be a great start lads, now go get another fucker...

 

[DronnieBlade]

Blades win.

Either 1-2 or 1-3.

UTB

 

[snootyfenooty]

Of course it is. In a derby match the team scoring first usually either wins or draws, hardly ever ever loses.
