[Chimes]

Souza and Hamza FFS

 

[Karaoke Blade]

That's a big call dropping O'Hare and Peck.

 

[bakeblade]

Souza and Hamza FFS

Wilder strikes again! Peck and Davies both available

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

2 very defensive mids vs the bottom side, with no proper number 10 in front of them to link to the forwards. This selection all seems to be about the Leeds game...... even though we've got a 9 day gap. This could be a needlessly disjointed performance

 

[S40BLADE]

Brewster masterclass at the 10 en route

 

[Esteban Cambiasso]

That's a big call dropping O'Hare and Peck.

It's a ridiculous call

 

[Uganda Blade]

That's a big call dropping O'Hare and Peck.

Indeed. Let's hope the plan is to bring them both on in the second half. Ditto Burrows.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Wilder is embracing a scrap, hoping to keep it tight and use the bench to win it. As I said, we'll make it a difficult game whether it needs to be or not. Luton have some very good football players, very powerful football club etc etc

 

[Speedracer]

I still find it baffling that many of our fans who constantly moan about our style of play & want more progressive football are the same ones who then say it's not about good football just winning with a shithouse performance & a goal off someone's arse.

 

[jono_t2000]

very powerful football club etc etc

wut??

 

[Vintage Shirt]

So we play the best we've played and then we drop two of the players that are instrumental in the squad and then we drop them. I'm no tactical genuis but that seems daft.

And you don't know the fitness situation. They were both blowing at end of game - it was only Wednesday evening.

 

[Esteban Cambiasso]

Hoping a new signing is injured, yeah I’d say that’s pathetic if you want to call yourself a blades fan.

 

[Shawy24]

Seems like Wilder actually likes to watch his midfield struggle to compete and create. I look forward to the quarterback masterclass from Choudray operating from somewhere behind Cooper.

 

[Belvedere Blade]

PNE 0 Burnley 0 FT

 

[Nick Jansky]

I don’t understand why anyone would play Choudhury & Souza as a pair unless there were no options. Today’s lineup looks a bit cowardly.

 

[BangorBlade]

PNE 0 - 0 BURNLEY

A win for us today would be great

 

[Uganda Blade]

PNE 0 - 0 BURNLEY

Get in Hecky lad!

 

[toledo]

I’m good with this line up as long as we don’t resort to passing square and backwards …. If we are aggressive and forward thinking, it might work.

toledo / dayton

 

[Guesty]

Dropping both Peck and O'Hare with Hamer already out seems like an unforced error to me, but we'll see by Five if I'm full of shit.

 

[robbiez666]

They're terrible but they have players that can hurt us.

We may struggle to create without Hamer or O'Hare. I'd have personally started another midfielder.

 

[Wireblade]

Let’s wait and see how we get on eh before calling Wilder clueless? It’s a different game against different opposition.
Luton’s main threat is long ball / set pieces. Last season we hit them with pace through Archer and McAtee.
I’m optimistic and a win sends us 5 points clear.
UTB

 

[Champagneblade]

Souza and Hamza FFS

Reckon this will be a regular feature away from home, especially if we are effectively playing 4 attackers like we are today.

 

[Esteban Cambiasso]

Alexa ... pick Sheffield United's team for me

 

[Blade58]

I hope Wilder hasn’t dropped a bollock with that team?

 

[lazyfecklessblade]

Baffling line up given the difference in performance levels between Saturday and Wednesday. Big call from wilder

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

It’ll be 4-4-2

 

[Vintage Shirt]

And you don't know the fitness situation. They were both blowing at end of game - it was only Wednesday evening.

That's a valid point and I agree. I'll put my shoes back on.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

I hope this post bites me in the nackside....piss poor 1st half, slightly better when Wilder made the subs. Will take a one nil win though. My excitement from Wednesday has gone to being trepidation against Luton ffs

 

[Bladesthorpe]

Looks like he's picked his biggest team to compete with their giants.
