Don't overthink it Chris

 

[Bell4]

Get the loss and poor performance (manager and team) out of our system

 

[dexter101]

Assuming Hamer is unavailable (he seems to keep getting a tight calf....) I would want to mix things up a bit.



Cooper

Gilchrist Souttar Anel MaCallum

Peck Blaster Shackleton


JRS Campbell Brooks


I feel like we would need extra cover in the midfield with Souza out. We don't have one direct replacement so a middle 3 who can be combative and niggly as a group whilst also having the touch to play out quickly and forward (something Souza hasn't been amazing at even though his touch to other players backwards or sideways has been excellent). I think a pacey front three might work well to provide width and mean LB and RB don't need to push forward as much meaning the back unit can stay neat and tidy together

 

[Argentinemanager]

Anything but 3 at the back, if that formation comes out again its a given we lose, i think hamer will play as if it looked unlikely hed be fit i think hed have got a booking to miss a game hed be injured for

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Both teams will be happy with a draw here.

1-1

 

[Cappy]

I've mentally moved on from the Leeds game now. We are going to drop points and be a bit shit on occasion this season - whether that's individual shitness or collective player and coaching shitness. That was one of those games. If we were a team that didn't do that, we'd be upper-mid-table in the prem every year.

Looking forward to Boro away and visiting one of my fave Japanese restaurants in England (that don't cost silly money)

 

[SUFC Guy]

Cooper

Gilchrist - Souttar - Anel - Burrows

Souza - Blaster

JRS - Hamer - Brooks

Campbell

 

[Keen Blade]

Let's try and play some of the game in their half and maybe create a scoring chance ?

 

[Darnall Siam Blade]

Sufc Guy- Peck in for Souza who is serving a ban for his daft yellow at Leeds.

 

[robbiez666]

Cooper

Gilchrist Souttar Anel Burrows

Shackleton Blaster Peck

JRS Moore Hamer/Brooks

 

[Keen Blade]

Wilder says we go into matches to win them - imo he didn't on Friday - he wanted a nil-nil.
Our best attackers are our two wingers and he used neither.
He was frightened of Leeds.
Is he going to be frightened of the loss of Souza v Boro ?
He shouldn't change our successful lineup due to fear.
Put Peck in for Souza.
Play JRS no matter what.
Don't play O'Hare , he's getting worse.
If Hamer out , replace him with Brooks and play Brewster off Moore.
If Hamer ok , play him centrally and choose between Brooks & Brewster.
We need a faster transition and some pace in attack.
We have to give the opposition defence some problems or there'll be a repeat of the one-way traffic we saw Friday.
We need to play our own positive game.

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Still fucked off we didn't have a shot at goal on Friday.

He needs to play JRS or Brooks as O Hare, Moore and Brewster don't score goals.

Hell he could even play both and give the other team something to worry abaht

 

[Pollingtonblade]

As an aside 1 goal in 20 appearances from Moore and O Hare is shocking

 

[Birdwell Blade]

As an aside 1 goal in 20 appearances from Moore and O Hare is shocking

Yes you're right. I'm sure both players are aware of that more than anyone. They're not bad players though all of a sudden. I think they will come good for us.

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Yes you're right. I'm sure both players are aware of that more than anyone. They're not bad players though all of a sudden. I think they will come good for us.

Well we've finger crossed that Brewster will come good over last 4 years so these two may.

 

[Birdwell Blade]

Me and the boy are looking forward to this one. Coach this time. Game 10 for me and 11 for the young un, maintaining his 100% record this season.

I think a point would be a good return but wouldn’t set up for one, if that makes sense. Don’t do what we did Friday.

Winning our home games and getting draws at tough places like Boro will see us not far away.

 

[SUFC Guy]

Sufc Guy- Peck in for Souza who is serving a ban for his daft yellow at Leeds.

Ah yeh of course. I'd forgotten about that. Good shout

 

[jt64]

Will take a point and a more aggressive approach.

Actually, just call it a point as idk if it's possible to be more negative than Friday

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

They’ve just lost at home to Bristol so no doubt be fired up. Need go for them and not setup so calamitously like Friday.

 

[Harry's Game]

Rumours Burrows is under the concussion protocol so will miss the next two games

 

[BigBed]

Coops

Gilchrist Anel Souttar RND
Blaster Peck McCallum
JRS Moore Ohare.

 

[Harry's Game]

Not sure if RND has the legs to play LB anymore I’d go with Mcullum

 

[Silent Blade]

Rumours Burrows is under the concussion protocol so will miss the next two games

The clearance that hit his face in the 2nd half would have caused this.

 

[South Sea Blade]

Cooper
Gilchrist Anel Souttar McCallum
Blaster Peck Hamer
JRS Moore O'hare.

If the rumour about Burrows is true. Brooks for Hamer if Gus is injured.

 

[Blade58]

I’m finding it hard to see a result tomorrow.
I think we still look ok at the back , but midfield creativity and up top finishing I’m struggling with

 

[jt64]

The clearance that hit his face in the 2nd half would have caused this.

If he is in fact concussed then that's negligence on the part of the club to leave him on the pitch

 

[Mendi]

2-2 result

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

If he is in fact concussed then that's negligence on the part of the club to leave him on the pitch

Gone are the days of “tell him he’s Pele and send him back out”

Bit troubling these injuries but glad we’re moving on. So sick of reading about Super Leeds.

 

[jono_t2000]

If he is in fact concussed then that's negligence on the part of the club to leave him on the pitch

Not all concussion symptoms are the same.

Some athletes pass the immediate concussion tests but then feel the effects a few days later.
