[Kryten]

On the contrary, if they don’t score, we can afford to do this. A draw is of little use to them and fine for us.

They will score though, they score 2 and 3 on a regular basis and the last time they didn’t bag a goal was back in October against Huddersfield.

I suspect you are right, but that wasn't my point.

I will be very surprised if both teams do not score.

Didn't they lose 2-0 to Sunderland a couple of weeks ago?

 

[YorkBlade]

Who remembers this night?

Clap Clap Clap Clap

Clap there’s been far too much clapping on this forum for my liking since the Swansea game one good performances in 3 months against a team of no hopers who would rather get 65% possession and win on XG than win a game doesn’t mean we are now prime Barcelona

Tomorow will be a huge test against a proper team Win and we are up lose and we won’t be

Hopefully Paul can get the boys up and get a performance out of the becuase if he can’t tommorow then when can he ? ( Rarely IMO)

My only advice to Gareth southgatebottom would be if Clark is for please don’t play Jacky Bomb scare just when you think he looks good he drops a clanger he has done it far too many times it baffles me after 5/6 good games everyone forgets and he becomes John stones

Also don’t play sharp because those pigeons put themselves about and occupy defenders more ATM

My team would be

——Wesley——-

-BOGLES—ANEL—EGAN—CLARK—LOWE

———BERGE——-NORWOOD——-

——-NDIAYE———MACATEE——

———OLI BAGSMAN———

 

[Paisley Blade]

Oh shit - the rumours were untrue.

 

[BettingBlade]

First

EDIT: Bollocks

 

[Charlieblade]

Blades will win this. It’s just the way it has to be this season. Carrick is a new, first time manager. Hecky has more than enough experience with this squad. Put Boro to bed, and put Carrick in his place. Then we can get on with squaring Millwall and Luton away
Blades 2023 team is better than any of them. I hope Burnley are watching!

Probably for the best.

It's Tool not First on a Fallowfield thread.

 

[Hackey Blade]

Actually for once i actually agree with his team and what he says about wor Jack as the geordies say

 

[FallowfieldBlade]

South Sea Blade

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

A proper team who are 10 points behind us. Difficult to drop JLT after that last performance, he seems really up for it.

That’s when he’s at his most vulnerable there’s definitely a pattern with JLT and he’s due his fuck up anytime soon (p.s i hope i’m wrong)

 

[South Sea Blade]

Tool.

Sharp is injured. It's a bit rich criticising the manager when someone with the same high level coaching qualification dosen't know which player is likely to be out for a spell having badly twisted his ankle Saturday and limping off. Tsk tsk.
Rating. 0-10 No preparation, attention to detail or squad knowledge.

 

[Sheffsteel]

Didn't they lose 2-0 to Sunderland a couple of weeks ago?

Yes...I watched it and it started like a cagey derby match with few chances.
Then in the 2nd half Sunderland were more positive and played quite well.
Think 2-0 was a true reflection of the match.....Boro never really got going and looked very average.

Think where Boro went wrong was they expected a tough match so gave Sunderland plenty of respect
starting slow but solid focussed on not conceding. They did this OK but then couldn't raise their tempo in the 2nd half.

Will be interesting to see what approach they have at Bramall Lane.
Will they come defensive hoping to keep it 0-0 at half-time or will they be attacking trying to blow us away in the 1st half?

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

Dropping MOTM Robinson, who was fantastic in both of his last matches, for Clark....... okay!?!

 

[JS Blade]

Clark in for Robinson

 

[Balti Pie]

You can't drop Robbo at the moment. He's done nothing wrong - in fact, he's done a hell of a lot right.
Apart from that, I agree with the line up.
But not as a 5-2-2-1

 

[corner_flag]

don’t play Jacky Bomb scare just when you think he looks good he drops a clanger

Personally, I don't care. I love the good things about his game enough that I will take the odd bomb scare. Keeps it interesting.

Have another go at spelling the day after today. I dare you

 

[Stretch]

No way is Robinson dropped for this, unless he is injured.

 

[KeithEdsgoalWards]

JLT was man of the match last time out, so yeah, it makes sense to drop him. TOOL.

 

[Bladepicker]

Beep's made up team to fuck off Fallowfield.

In goal it's a South Korean

Kim Ji Fook

RWB is an Austrian lad Stefan Hoff

Classic back three of
Marcus Upp
Johnny Wind
and a Chinese lad, Li Yu

LWB is a Frenchman, Fabien Merchant

Midfield we have a local lad, Phil Wyre, Li Yu's brother, Son and old timer Alan Knott

Upfront the legendary front two of Brian Band and everyone's favourite German Steffan Kuntz.

Line up as follows:

-------------- Fook -------------

Hoff --- Yu --- Wind --- Upp --- Merchant

------ Wyre ---- Yu ---- Knott -------

--------- Band -------- Kuntz -------

 

[The Judge 1889]

Can they score against the best defence in the league?

They will score though, they score 2 and 3 on a regular basis and the last time they didn’t bag a goal was back in October against Huddersfield

I like it but Gary Goals should be starting

No Keith it makes sense to replace him with Clark who has played nearly 300 games in the Prem for Villa & Newcastle

He played well and he won’t be dropped but I would as he has a mistake round the corner it’s coming and it will happen when you least expect it

He should have been sent off Vs Hull which could have cost us that game

There’s a reason why he has played the champ the most of his career and it’s cause he is a walking Brainfart
