Berge inclusion is interesting.....
But Newcastle has to be 3 points for anyside in this league still playing for something.

They're the side in the league everyone wants to play.

 

[robbiez666]

Went down at Villa but then played on.

Wilder mentioned it after. Hopefully nothing too serious.

 

[Brownieblade]

I would rather play Norwich but I do see what you mean

 

[Large Mendonca]

Lunny on for Berge i reckon after about 65-70 mins

 

[BigBed]

Will Zivkovic get a chance do we think??

 

[YouFUMS]

Cardiff 2-0

 

[8lade]

Will Zivkovic get a chance do we think??

I'd be very surprised unless we are chasing it and need somebody sat on the line waiting for the ball to come out to him.

 

[Brownieblade]

No shout box to sing Leeds, Leeds are falling apart again

 

[Eza Blade]

Cardiff 2-0

I put it on as first goal went in. Fucking love it, especially when Don Goodman is having a Leeds love in

 

[BigBed]

I'd be very surprised unless we are chasing it and need somebody sat on the line waiting for the ball to come out to him.

But we still don't know if he's any good?, could suprise us all??

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

I'm seeing a lot of others saying what I'm thinking. Fantastic to see Flecky back, not surprising to see JOC out, surprised to see Berge's inclusion, I'd have gone with Lundstram. I also think we would've benefitted from McGoldrick and one of Sharp and McBurnie.

But that said, Up the Blades!

 

[JayGreen17]

Need to score first in this game, they’re hard to break down as we saw to the lane if they get in front.

McBurnie 1st goal United 3-1

 

[Plymouthblade]

No shoutbox ?

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Bit disappointed to see we've gone with Berge over Lundstram & McBurnie & Sharp as a partnership.

Fleck should improve things, but I won't be surprised to see us knocking it long & struggling offensively again.

My guess is that the Lundstram & Mousset substitutions will improve things for us late on.

I'd really like to see L Freeman playing off a lone striker up front. I think it would help us retain the ball in the final third & get numbers up..

 

[Brownieblade]

I hope Wilder has been straight over and checked that bloody watch

 

[8lade]

But we still don't know if he's any good?, could suprise us all??

It's true we don't know but his highlights clip was poor.
Our coaches may have done wonders with him.
He may have a moment of inspiration.
He may win a penalty (I think this is about the most likely he's almost uncatchable even with the ball at his feet).
It'll surprise me if he turns out to be good enough long term.

 

[CentralQuay]

I hope they've switched Hawkeye on.

 

[Antonb]

Berge justwon a header

 

[Brownieblade]

Good start nice tempo

 

[DronnieBlade]

Lot brighter this .

UTB

 

[CentralQuay]

That extra game sharpness is showing.

 

[Plymouthblade]

Defo COYRAWW

 

[Plymouthblade]

Sander slow to read

 

[Chabuddy G]

Norwood needs to switch on. Twice in 2 games he’s given the ball away dangerously and carelessly

 

[Birley Blade]

Excellent start, Norwood needs to step up though, made a few errors already, not ideal against a team dangerous on the counter.

 

[BigBed]

Much better start, look more like the UTD we know n love!
Norwood needs to concentrate though.

 

[true99blade]

Christ Joelinton is wank

 

[BigBed]

We just need more speed up top, Sharp's trying but not quite got the pace unfortunately.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Need to be careful of those counter attacks, they're strong in that department.

Berge a lot better today. He looks like he can operate well in space.

 

[Chabuddy G]

God we’ve been poor again
