Going for a 2-1 win to the mighty Blades!

Ole Ole Ole, playing proper football the Sheff United Way!

 

[Stretch]

I would love any kind of result, but sadly I think we could be in for another hiding.

This team just blows far too hot and cold.

Hopefully I am wrong, and Luton was the start of a run. If we were to win today, then it really is back on.

 

[Harry's Game]

Well we are going to lose I just hope it‘s a game we are at least still in at the hour mark, fed up of being humiliated at home.

Take a regulation 0-2 or 1-3 defeat.

 

[Hull Blade]

Can someone confirm the KO time, at the top of the thread it says 3.00pm further down it says 2.00pm ?

KO at 2pm...Play thirty minutes. If its not going well...Declare and kick off again at 3pm. Simple.

2-2 draw...

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

No idea why but I think we're going to win.

And if we do I'll be scrutinising the table again all day and night.

This bloody football club, eh?

 

[SB_90]

if we can win today we are right back in the survival race. only 3 pts off everton, 4 pts off luton. who wouldve thought that after aston villa when were given a 99% chance of relegation

we were much better in the cup than the scoreline suggested. just had a ref that hated us & team that scored 2 wonder goals & got a extremely dodgy penalty

 

[jono_t2000]

 

[jono_t2000]

Foderingham gets the deserved nod up to keep the shirt.

Archer who wasnt seen in training vids is out.

Lowe also out and not on bench, so Larouci comes in for RND.

Mcburnie and Arbblaster on the bench!

 

[jt64]

Can take that line up, would like to see Blaster for Osborn after 60-65

 

[HarryHaslam]

Good to see Blacker on the bench, has real class that lad

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Wes keeping his place is a big call. Grbic really didn't look great but still a big call!

Shame injuries are hurting again. It's clear our plan is to hit them on the counter and to soak up play. Not going to be a fun watch but if it works....!

I'd have put Ozzie at LWB and started Davies in midfield

 

[originaltrueblade]

Osula because he’s so cooler

 

[jono_t2000]

 

[Greg.]

Fingers crossed for Larouci today

 

[jt64]

I'd have put Ozzie at LWB and started Davies in midfield

Nah, a lot of where Brighton played better than us in the cup was having the freedom of the city in midfield. Osborn is never going to win any player of the year awards, but he has work rate. Have him run his bollocks off disrupting them for an hour and leave nothing in the tank, then freshen things up for the last half hour

 

[jim2007]

Good to see Blacker on the bench, has real class that lad

Don't know much about him, can you elaborate?

 

[jt64]

There's bits in the U18s thread

Jesus wept... everyone behind the ball kick it anywhere

It’s the hope that kills you, even when it’s a thin hope

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

It’s the hope that kills you, even when it’s a thin hope

I know mate.

I'd give us about a 3% chance of staying up at the minute.

But I still can't completely let it go ha ha.

Whatever happens we need Man Utd to turn Luton over later.

It is but in my view the correct one.

Agree with you about the look of the strategy but I’ll take that if it works

 

[BlairBlade]

Well IF we are going …..::

 

[Espania blade]

Gribic Is CWs stated Not so i think he Will come straight back in.

Called that one wrong

I’d made my peace with going down. But then you look at the table and think “well if we can win today”

 

[Espania blade]

Good to see Blacker on the bench, has real class that lad

Not heard of this lad, is he a good prospect and what position does he play ?

 

[The Crab]

Called that one wrong

To be fair CW did say that, but it would have been harsh on Wes after last week

 

[Melbourne Blade]

Hm no Archer? Thought he did alreet last week so another injured? Interesting he's sticking with Wes also, big call but mebbe grbic is shite anyway

 

[HarryHaslam]

Don't know much about him, can you elaborate?

Prolific at youth level and still only 17, seen him play a variety of positions, centre mid, left, number 10 role and out and out striker. Personally I think he’s perfect for the 10 role. Technically he is very good, just oozes class on the ball and his finishing is top notch. Another youngster with a genuine chance of making it with us.

Probably down to the concussion, not likely he has had much time on the training field.
