[Jimmy Fleck]

Possibly the strongest squad we’ve had all season. Just missing hamer and Davies. Excited to see how they play today.

 

[robbiez666]

Who is the central creative midfielder in that ? O’Hare ?

O'Hare is the only one but I suspect we'll be looking to the fullbacks to create.

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

Not sure about Souza & Choudhury in the middle as a pair, but rest of the side looks fine.

2-0 Blades

 

[anglian blade]

I am always nervous when everyone else is confident.

 

[Keen Blade]

O'Hare is the only one but I suspect we'll be looking to the fullbacks to create.

So 4231 with O'Hare central , Brewster on the R and BBD on the L ?

 

[Keen Blade]

Possibly the strongest squad we’ve had all season. Just missing hamer and Davies. Excited to see how they play today.

And Moore & Seriki

 

[AWetFlannel]

Yeah, or Brewster in the middle and O'Hare on the right.

 

[Keen Blade]

I wonder how TC2 has got ahead of TC1 ?

 

[PotterLog]

Do us a favour today eh Blades.

I’ll be rooting for Cannon, BBD and Harry Clarke to notch one apiece. And Tyrese if he gets on. Oh and RND. And fuck it, Adam Davies too

 

[Davalon]

There will be one empty seat today as myself and my son have had to back out with illness and a knackered back (managed to pass one ticket on).

Anyone there, give 'em a shout for us

 

[AWetFlannel]

Cannon is fit, Campbell isn't.

 

[AnstonBlade1]

What's that supposed to mean ?

What's that supposed to mean ?

That there bound to beat us actually going for a 1-1 today.

2-0 Blades

Well - all looks good then if you’re not so sure yet predict we win 2-0

 

[Shawy24]

Where and perhaps more to the point, why, Brewster?

 

[Northyorksblade]

Any streams lads?

 

[Jan Age]

I’m intrigued to see how a team so strong on paper actually play…

Not sure I agree with others that got us this far losing their place so quickly unless through injury

4-0 blades

 

[Frank the tank]

That there bound to beat us actually going for a 1-1 today.

What is the point of your existence?

 

[fifty shades of blade]

We are gonna lose this 2-1
It will be fine though cause Wilder is a gud un.

Our GOALSCORER will be Brewster

Think soon enough we will drop to 7th/8th.
We will finish 15th this season
Wilder will be fine though cause he’s a gud un.

Get yerself a bird you piggy virgin

 

[Bell4]

Any streams lads?

Ulley / Rother Valley ?

 

[lazyfecklessblade]

Not sure about Souza & Choudhury in the middle as a pair, but rest of the side looks fine.

2-0 Blades

I like it a lot. If your defence isn’t as good as it was, and you can’t improve it enough stick a brick wall in front of it.

Them two are gonna have Ben Osborn’s dinner money off him, poor little fucker.

 

[fifty shades of blade]

What is the point of your existence?

Just to moan and be down about everything. That's it. Don't think life has been kind to it. Poor soul

 

[Bell4]

What the hell has happened to Klopp ?

 

[JJBlade]

No natural width there, and not enough talent in that team to play through the middle.
It's ok having three forwards on the pitch, but if they don't get the ball they're as much use as a chocolate teapot

Let’s see

 

[knowsnowt]

Any streams lads?

Pm'd you.

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

Feel like they do the same job & it’s going to stifle our ability to make the ball stick up front. Time will tell I guess & could be completely wrong, but feel like it’s going to be a very scrappy game.

 

[Keen Blade]

Can't watch or listen today.
Stuck with updates on web.
Would be very grateful if someone could post how we set up.

 

[MiserableBlader]

As said in shoutbox

Derby are in horrific form, losing 7 of their last 8 matches (or 8 of their last 9 if include cup)

Not sure if a good thing or bad thing for us...

Before the season I said the two Championship managers you would look to hire were Robins and Warne. (with such as McCann potential others)
I was SHOCKED how bad they (Derby) were at the Lane.
they were a poor team and even Osborne looked nonedescript.
Then I saw they dominate and outplay Wendy at there place - and lose 2-1!
I see the imbecile has done as he always does.
Load the team with his journeyman favourites.
I cannot see how carrying these mediOcrities (OHare et al) can succeed.
Who were the NONE Wendy people (biggs and Stalin Statton the wendies desperate for this imbecile apart from the imbeciles like Gormless Gobshite and aRSEHOLE ADAM ETC IN THE PRESS AND MEDIA) who wanted this clown to be given what he desperately seeks?
MONEY - guaranteed by a 3.5 FFS YEAR contract.
The only way we had a cat in hells chance of getting promoted was to sAy CONTRACT ON PROMOTION.
To keep his job this object will WANT to avoid the embarrassment of his stuPIdity at a better standard.
the march of the Wilder journeyman DOWNWARDS startS today.
Good players with bat shit crazy tactics and permutations CAN clearly succeed.
they cannOT succeed with journeyman ******s like his awful signings - as he showed bankrupting the club in the Prem.

 

[Melbourne Blade]

Agree with keen, looks like 4231 to me.

2 nil Blades. Cannon and Campbell
