[Mesut Özil's Lawnmower]

We need 3 more wins realistically to get over the line, let’s get one of them out of the way today!

I’m not that worried about Boro, but from watching them last night we can definitely take a leaf out of their book and actually go for the jugular.

We’re a better side than Cardiff, let’s attack attack attack and continue to attack even if we get in front

Exactly this. Burnley aside, we seem hesitant to put teams to the sword this season. Needs to bloody happen now.

Don't want Luton having a game like Boro and making the goal difference look twitchy.

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Time to call in a favour from the Millers too!

 

[robbiez666]

I'd take 4 points from the next 2 games, but this should, theoretically, be the easier one.

I'd go:

----------------------------Davies
Baldock--------Anel-------Egan------Robbo------Lowe
-------------------Berge--------Doyle
-----------Ndiaye----------------------McAtee
---------------------------McBurnie

Subs:

Dewhurst, Basham, Bogle, Fleck, Norwood, Sharp, Osula

I reckon we might score 2 today.

Not in bad form tbf.

Cue 0-4 loss.

[Mesut Özil's Lawnmower]

So funny how much this bothers Wednesday fans at this point. Surely they've got enough brain cells put together to realise its massively exaggerated because they don't ever shut up about either of us.

I play up to it as much as possible

 

[munksyb]

Sharp will be chomping at the bit to get that 250th goal
This is the kind of game that Osula Can be expansive
I’d start Illy on the bench alongside Norwood

 

[originaltrueblade]

3rd December 1977 a similar win for the Blades today

 

[South Sea Blade]

I’d start Illy on the bench

I reckon you're in a minority of one.

 

[Harry's Game]

Just a win please .. please a win.

That's got to be the starting 11.
Unfortunately based on previous games someone will have an unexpected injury or Hecky will have a brain fart.

Shows what a negative manager we have, fact is he will go defence all the way if we go one up.

As mentioned in the Shoutbox this morning, a draw wouldn't really be a disaster for us today as it would leave us six points ahead of Luton before their game at Rotherham tonight, having played the same number of games and with a superior GD.

That would give us more breathing space. A six point gap means we would stay above them on goal difference even if we lost our next games v Bristol City and West Brom, and Luton won at Rotherham and Reading. If we were to lose today and this unlikely scenario happened, Luton would go above us

 

[SB_90]

weve got to that point now we dont need rely on anyone. its in our hands. we win these next 2 home games for all intends & purposes. on 82pts its all over.

 

[JackSUFC]

A comfortable win would be nice but I would take a scrappy 1-0 right now.

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Not quite what I had in mind but hey that'll do!

 

[Mesut Özil's Lawnmower]

Still a good side but genuinely. Sheffield United. What are the chances one RCB has a birth to attend and one is suddenly injured. Only us I swear!

 

[Foxy]

 

[Dkc]

Good to see Jebbo on the bench.

 

[robbiez666]

I'm calling bollocks. Bash and Anel have had a scrap, haven't they? Both hospitalised.

edit: that obviously didn't happen. What did happen was that Furious was walking past, overheard their argument and knocked them both out to claim the position.

Which leaves us a little exposed should they be able to exploit it.

Good to see Jebbo and Arblaster on the bench

 

[FriethBlade]

So is Baldock playing right centre back?

 

[YES Blade]

Could we be starting with a back four?

 

[bakeblade]

Could we be starting with a back four?

Doubtful, we can only play with a back 5

Lack of height then at the back, could be ideal for Cardiff's long ball game

Called it, there's always something unexpected with United

Am always jittery when a crap team visit us. Hartlepool, Christmas 2012 anyone..?...

Maybe, but we are decent at holding a lead - it’s not what I’d do, like I said before I’d love us to keep the foot down if we go one up, but what do I know!

Jebbison has to start I reckon.
