Match Preview:

 

[Blacksea]

This will be a toughie for us,they are a hard working team who enjoy doing the ugly things in a game,they pressed Derby to death for an hour,the front 3 just penned Derby in their own third and they couldn't play out.We may have to go longer,which doesn't suit us,or we have to move the ball quickly and accurately out from the back.Second ball winning and getting blocks and tackles in to win the ball back will be a must,any weak and flimsy challenges will get punished.They are vulnerable at the back,so set pieces towards Bash and Egan might be our best hope,whatever,we need to get our game plan spot on,and it needs to be carried out to the letter by the player's.

huge game we win tonight & we are 3pts off the playoffs with 2 games in hand & WBA in 6th next. by next week we could be in the top 6 with games in hand on teams around us

 

[WORKSOPBLADE]

Need a cameo from MGW if level after 70

 

[Revolution]

After recent signings they are better than their record indicates, I think.

Their defence is not up to much but their forwards could give us trouble which we haven’t had in the last 2 games.

I will be interested to see if Norwood and Hourihane can keep up recent standards.

My big problem with this fixture is that I know it’s no guide to what will happen, but we never, ever seem to play well at St Andrews.

0-2.

Last time we won was boxing day in the last century.

I the words of YorkBlade "I was at that game"

Yep, with Huddersfield winning mid week, I think if we drop points tonight it puts extra pressure on getting something out the WBA and Hudders games coming up. This is in effect one of our games in hand this weekend with nobody else in the top 10 playing (apart from Blackburn) - time to close the gap!

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Just hope Scott Hogan doesn't come back to haunt us tonight!

You know the only reason I always say 'I was at that game' is the grief I get on Twitter from grown men who claim I've 'never been a Blade'. Shouldn't rise to it really but I'm a sensitive soul.

A real blade would never admit to being a sensitive soul.

Itz cos u speak propper, no one I've heard at BDTBL enunciates so I'm surprised they let you in.

We’re a broad church. No matter how well spoken, if you can kidney punch the vulnerable, you’re accepted.

Hopefully, they'll know who we are after the 90.

 

[Scarebus]

Just be louder than the whistles.

Might be good for us their match scouts watching the wrong team pre-build up !

They obviously think that one team in red and white stripes is pretty much the same as another.

 

[knowsnowt]

Been called into work so it's the raidyo for me. :/

 

[Cheesebored]

Can see this easily being abandoned. If any one thing can spoil a game of football it's some fucker using a whistle intermittently. Plus their fans are cunts which doesn't help.

Easily resolved, don't let any of there's in.

Feel a draw coming on. 112 minute equaliser for them gits, after 22 minutes of added time for their Arsing around with whistles.

 

[Bennyand the Blades]

Why is it always us that cop it
If it's not whistles it's ducks.
God help us if we score first ........

 

[Jon Bon II]

Just hope Scott Hogan doesn't come back to haunt us tonight!

I didn't know he'd died.

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

I didn't know he'd died.

More importantly, did he?

 

[ancientblade]

tough game draw wouldnt be a bad result

 

[Jon Bon II]

More importantly, did he?

They never do. That's why their tormented spirits wander the earth.

 

[Flumps]

As said. Important difficult game. We're coming off the back of a couple of wins too so we should be bang up for this. If I was Hecky I'd be reminding this team that we don't consider ourselves mid table and we're more than capable of competing for top flight.

If the boys turn up for this I don't doubt we can get a result.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

The whistles win it for them with a dodgy goal. 1-0

Dont forget we have had red cards for the opposition a couple of times in recent games,red card fortunes might be reversed in this game with Stroud (sorry Gollum) in charge.
