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

I think a lot of the moaners after the last match need to realise this. If we lose it is what it is I can't see the point complaining at a bare threads team. Only 3 points seperates us in 9th and 4th place we are still in the mix.

 

[Overthehills]

Refreshing to see a few back on the bench, with Enda, Fleck and McBurnie all returning to the squad.

Bds beat me to it! Good strong line up, 4-0 United ⚔

Has sharp got pics of hecky or something? Promotion teams have to rotate

 

[BigBed]

COME ON BLADES!!

Its Sharp or Mcburnie......... who would you choose!!??

Jebbo today - don’t think barnsley are much better than what he’s been playing against in league one touch wood. Sharp on at 60 mins if we need a goal, otherwise rest him all game

He wont play Jebbo, hes been back for weeks and weve seen him for 10mins!

 

[McGoaldrick]

Yeah, that’s just what I’d do - I’m sure sharp will score today and make me look an idiot for suggesting he needs a rest!

Unless they only have one f***er that can score

Happy with that from what we’ve got available. We played our best stuff with Norwood and Hourihane in midfield during our turnaround and Berge has been much more effective further forwards.

 

[Robbat]

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

So am I as well. Have been in bed all week not good

I don't think we should underestimate Barnsley. You say that they aren't much better than a league one team, but yet their last 10 form isn't that indifferent to ours.

They recruited well and brought in the likes of Quina from Watford (once a blades target) and Bassi from Metz in January, both seem to have reinvigorated the team.

They aren't a big hitter of the league granted....but they are battling hard for safety.

 

[Davalon]

At least bench looks a bit stronger.

Hopefully Bash, Baldock, and Wisdom to add in after the break.

I agree mate...

Hourihane will hopefully be chomping to have a pop at his former team.

If it was a traffic cone or mcburnie I'd start the cone....

You can usually tell how a game is going to go based on how sloppy United are for the first 10 minutes

 

[Toronto Blade fan]

Have we completely forgot how to pass a ball? What is up with this lob ball tactics.... Horrible.

 

[Headshrinker]

What a save by Wes!

Poor start.

 

[SuperBobbyHatton]

What a save!!

 

[Headshrinker]

Brilliant ref so far. Letting the teams play.

 

[Overthehills]

Never goad the goat...

These dingles should know better.... those fat b*stard chants are going to cost you! He thrives off it.....

Gu'won skip.... shut em up!

 

[jono_t2000]

Another dire game with little quality from either team (similar to Blackpool game)

We just don't seem to have a game plan these last few matches

slowly turning into a bit of a hoof merchant in recent times dare i say it.

 

[Overthehills]

Is it too early for Enda at half time?

Don't get me wrong, Norrington Davies hasn't been the opitome of piss poor. However... When Enda or Baldock more recently played out there, the high press allows Billy to play in a more advanced position up the pitch. I feel with RND out there, Billy has been forced to drop deep out left and hold up play.

I get that there is more to a striker than prowling around the 18 yard box, but I like to see Billy in advanced positions....running off the last man, linking up with MGW or awaiting the cross.

SUTV lagging for anyone else?
