Is the assistant referee Brazilian?

Blades 4 0 Barnsley. Let's have them foxy UTB

 

[jono_t2000]

i said would take a draw away from home against Blackpool to steady the ship...

But for this game I wouldn't take anything less than 3 points at home against a team in the drop zone

If we don’t win tomorrow then shoutbox will implode

 

[CoatesyBlade]

Perfect conditions back at BDTBL today! Big win!

Perfect conditions back at BDTBL today! Big win!

That’s harsh.
Despite being decimated by injuries, I think we will put up a decent fight today.

 

[MobileBlade]

Is the assistant referee Brazilian?

Will the ref be first one to have his own chant of "You're not fit to referee" before the game even kicks off?

 

[munksyb]

I hope Hecky starts looking to next season and looking to bring the young uns on
Don’t play McBurnie use Jebo
Start Ndyai up top
Give Seriki a role at 60 mins
Whether we make play offs or even go up
These guys need to be integrated into playing at the top level

 

[FTPE]

Sounds like the only injury news is McBurnie might be back.
The only way I'd see that as 'positive injury news' is if he still played for them.

Ndiaye to have a worldie today.
Hopefully we don't need him but fingers crossed Jebbison gets a decent 20-30min as well.

 

[robbiez666]

Local derbies are always tough but they've picked up form and a point may well be the outcome. In the last month they've beaten Boro and QPR, drew with Fulham. I'm predicting a suprise player return today.

In a different situation I'd agree but not with 9 to play in a dogfight at the top. Go with the strongest we can muster.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

We need a win today, we've stalled of late.

But I don't say that with any judgement or criticism, we are doing all we can. We're stalling due to injuries alone.

COYRAWW

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

I would rather the Dingles stayed up that Reading.

But expect no help from The Blades today.

 

[JackSUFC]

Would take the scruffiest of 1-0 wins today to get us over the line into the international break.

 

[AnstonBlade1]

Tired squad, take a point get some players back after break.

 

[Sandygate Blade]

Missing today as tested positive for Covid. 3 points today to cheer me up. Hate missing home games.

 

[bonobo]

They are a decent team, that fell of a cliff this season. New manager and back in form, where we look like we are on our last legs. Even though at home, I would not cry at a point and regroup during the break. With the fixtures to come, we are still in as a good a shape as anybody else for the POs

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Guess who's in town today?

 

[brownblade]

Will the ref be first one to have his own chant of "You're not fit to referee" before the game even kicks off?

Name rings a bell, but which terrible ref is he?

 

[SB_90]

local derbies are never easy, but i worry about today, because it is a must win game espically with how close the playoffs are that norwood goal that was never was because the linesman guessed wouldve had us but for 1 goal joint 5th & instead we are now 9th, but it so typical of our luck the last 6 weeks. that we got a team in relegation battle, but in fantastic form beating middlesborough & bristol city, drawing with Fulham. just hopefully its the team that played derby turned up

Tony Agana on a free?

 

[MobileBlade]

Name rings a bell, but which terrible ref is he?

Blackburn a couple of weeks ago, Millwall earlier in the season

I know what you mean. But don't forget that promotion is huge, and playoffs perfectly realistic - our club would be "infinitely" better off if we qualify for AND win the playoffs.

 

[Champagneblade]

Billy and Gibbs-White haven't really come off the last 2 games. N'Diaye was better but still not the levels of before.

I predict that we'll be at it for one final push before they get a good rest. Easier to raise yourself for one game knowing you can have a few days off.

Important day.

Huddersfield play Bournemouth so one of them, if not both, is dropping points. Luton won't have it all their own way at a resurgent Hull. Not sure Millwall takes all three points away at Stoke either. You expect. Blackburn you'd think see Reading as a good place to pick up an away win but like Barnsley, Reading are fighting for their lives. QPR down for a win at home to Peterborough you'd expect and Boto don't play.

A win would be very timely and probably put us back in the top 6 with just 8 to go.

I don't see Billy and Gibbs-White being off form in a long streak so many with a big crowd it is the time they click again.

COYRAWW!

 

[Harry's Game]

Six weeks ago this looked an absolute gimmmie… but they now are above us in the from table and we are on the balls of our arse fitness wise.

Need to get a win by hook or by crook today and see who we can get back to fitness in the international break.

I wouldn’t

Not all getting a rest though. Presume Egan, MGW, Berge all on a call up. I do think he's have to mix it up a bit. Not sure how.

 

[originaltrueblade]

This ref is shocking sending offs today he’s card happy

 

[Guesty]

I don't expect much from today, our squad is like The 24th Regiment of Foot at the end of Zulu.
