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.

He's probably planning some halftime substitutions after the first half dogfight

 

[drblade]

Adebayo vs Robinson looks like a mismatch.

come on Blades

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Hope your nackside emerges unscathed..

It's next to my nall sack

 

[Sheffsteel]

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

Agree does seem a strange line up.
Not one person would have guessed it, so many changes to the team that gave us our best performance of the season.

It’s almost like we’re playing a league 1 side in the FA cup but we do have plenty of strength on the subs bench.

Have no choice but to give Wilder the benefit of the doubt, there must be fitness and potential injury issues.

Basically he has 1 eye on next weeks match against Leeds ensuring we go into that match at full strength.

 

[HOT CURRIE 10]

O’Hare was feeling his hamstrings and cramping up a little the last 15 on Wednesday,Peck was nackered,don’t need more injuries and it’s squad rotation sometimes,especially against teams like Luton. It may bite him up the arse again.

 

[JJBlade]

Let's hope so. However, I'm struggling to see who's going to provide the link between Vini and Hamza and the front four

He doesn't think about things like that.

A negative performance today after Burnley only drew would be pathetic

 

[Maltby_blade]

You are hilarious

great response, prick.

 

[Esteban Cambiasso]

Luton better team so far... Need to wake up

 

[Esteban Cambiasso]

You are hilarious

great response, prick.

Oinker

Glad to see you admit it you wanker

 

[jono_t2000]

The similarities to Portsmouth game are uncanny.

Hoof it long to no-one in middle of pitch and watch ball come straight back at us.

 

[Esteban Cambiasso]

Glad to see you admit it you wanker

Hard man

 

[unchosen]

Choudhury and McCallum are making me nervous

 

[Keen Blade]

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

4 attackers , Yes , but where is the fast transition and clever creativity ?

4 attackers doesn't compensate for passing it around sideways in our own half

 

[Maltby_blade]

Hard man

Wasn’t me that started with the pig insults

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Unsurprisingly we've not had the ball in their half yet

 

[Esteban Cambiasso]

Wasn’t me that started with the pig insults

 

[Westran]

McCallum more so, giving away possession twice in 5 mins isn't great.

 

[Westran]

Unsurprisingly we've not had the ball in their half yet

Well we have done though haven't we.

 

[Thrice]

Not a great start. Missing Hamer and O'Hare, and Souza and Choudhury together doesn't really seem to work.

 

[toledo]

Brewster and RS not in the game ….

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Think Doughty likes the pies…

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Everytime we have a good game Wilder completely changes the team and destroys any momentum

 

[toledo]

I’m sorry, I’m at a loss as to how we have started.. there is no way we will win this game with this….

 

[Davalon]

Going as expected with the line up.

Any away win is a good one and three points is what matters but if we don't get them today it's a big opportunity missed to put some daylight between us and Burnley, and maybe Sunderland.

 

[haich1889]

I'm absolutely bemused & stunned by team selection.
If you drop the best player from previous game it's crazy, when your best player is injured & you then drop the 2 BEST players from prior game ... I really hope it doesn't backfire. I just think it could head that way & Choudry being set up for a fans stick if does.
He's already pissed off many by playing Clarke over Gilchrist who has been excellent for us this season. Aparantly dropped for a dip in form. A dip from excellent to good is harsh for a dropping.
Clarke looked awful every game.

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

Everyone knows this midfield doesn’t work… except for the manager. Useless.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

First 20 minutes and have no idea what the plan is to score other than win a throw in and JLT to launch one. Tough watch so far.

 

[Crabstick]

Is cameraman pissed up?

 

[toledo]

We have NO midfield ……
