In Wilder we trust !!

Until or if we blow it tonight

 

[Blade58]

I can maybe see the idea of pushing Burrows upfield, but why drop Gilchrist for Shackleton? That surely means it will be a back 5 as Shacks is more of a wing back?

My guess is a back 5 with either Shacks or Burrows having licence to get down the line when it allows

As for Gilchrist, possibly because Shacks offers more going forward as Rucksack and Brooks aren’t starting. I reckon if it isn’t working he’ll change it at half time

 

[ben1987]

Wonder if we’re trying to keep it solid for 60-70 mins and then lob Rak Sakyi and Brooks on

 

[Thrice]

Why so many changes? I hope Wilder knows what he's doing.

 

[Cheesebored]

This doesn't bode well if this is his mentality, if we lose its on wilder

In the same way he's changed a winning side successfully before?

 

[Irv]

Negative?!? It’s a sensible line-up. You can’t go to ER and go gung-ho. Hamer and O’Hare will step up and run this match, mark my words.

 

[YES Blade]

We’re always going to rotate the team, but a formation change would be a head scratcher

 

[FriethBlade]

In the same way he's changed a winning side successfully before?

He has cheese but it's a combination of changing the formation and bringing RND in. He's not played a full game for over a year and our defence had been very sound. Big risk in my opinion

 

[Varkanoid]

Wonder if we’re trying to keep it solid for 60-70 mins and then lob Rak Sakyi and Brooks on

I think so to Leeds can be fast attacking could be to stunt their attack and bring the fast boys on later when they are tiring.
Could end up being a good tactic. Big test will see where our side sits after this match. Still think we will win.

Aye. Think with being unbeaten so far and haven’t conceded for god knows how long they’ve earned a bit of trust and we see how things go.

Hamer playing off the left raised eyebrows

Benching Hamer for Luton did

Brewster in the 10 did

So far the experiments are working quite well

 

[Snowflake]

Brooks & JRS ?? No wingers ?
Do we not intend to attack ?

Yes, but when they are tiring in the second half.

 

[Silkblade]

Going for it, we hate Leeds scum the blades are going up.

 

[Sothall_Blade]

Aye. Think with being unbeaten so far and haven’t conceded for god knows how long they’ve earned a bit of trust and we see how things go.

Playing Basham in midfield at Elland Road a few years back.

That didn’t work out too badly in the end

 

[Silkblade]

Anyone think Wilder has gone for a 5-3-2 defensive with RND left centre back and Burrows and Shackleton as wing backs?

Midfield 3 Hamer Arblaster Souza
O’Hare false 9 (Ndiaye role)
Moore

 

[bonobo]

I was expecting us to shore up the midfield for this one and I have wanted to see how Burrows performs further forward, think it could benefit Kieffer Moore a well. My concern a little, is Shackleton for Gilchrist, it means two changes to a defence that has been fairly settled. But Wilder has been making a pretty good fist of rotating players so far.

 

[HD8 Blades]

I could pick the same team and tactics every week. Sure he’s thought it through. We’ll see I suppose

 

[Bell4]

Negative?!? It’s a sensible line-up. You can’t go to ER and go gung-ho. Hamer and O’Hare will step up and run this match, mark my words.

I’m marking them

 

[gooseh]

I’m marking them

Well gus is a bit tubby but you might struggle with O'Hare

 

[kop blade]

...leeds united 0 the blades 1..gustavo goal gets 3 points..utb..forza bladesmen/..

No- it will be a back 4

 

[Thrice]

No- it will be a back 4

Looks like a 4-4-1-1 with Hamer playing the right side.

 

[Tom Bott]

if we lose its on wilder

Who gets credit if we win ?

 

[crazyblade1889]

We’ve just gone so negative. Madness. Can’t understand why we’ve gone to 5 at the back

 

[KiwiBlabe]

Ref making very strange decisions both ways. Hope that doesn't decide the game

 

[Thrice]

Cooper just fills you with confidence. He's the kind of keeper you feel can actually win you points.

 

[fifty shades of blade]

We’ve just gone so negative. Madness. Can’t understand why we’ve gone to 5 at the back

It's called tactics. Frustrate Leeds. Patience.

 

[Westran]

Hopefully we're just trying to frustrate them this half, second half subs to put pressure on them. We seem happy to soak up pressure at the minute though

 

[crazyblade1889]

It's called tactics. Frustrate Leeds. Patience.

We’re not frustrating them here. They are loving having so much of the ball.

 

[Thrice]

We’re not frustrating them here. They are loving having so much of the ball.

Tbf, they can't keep up that pressure for 90 minutes. Chances will come. Just need to weather the storm.
