Brereton-Diaz vs Rak-Sakyi

[Fjortoft's Aeroplane]

Both Brezza D and Rak-Sakyi have looked great on their good days...and anonymous on their bad days. Can't see Hamer being moved from the left side position when fit, so who's your choice to start down the right for the last 8 games of the season?

 

[Dimyan93]

Think BBD starts on current form, he just seems a tad more consistent.

But obviously will be a rotation to keep fresh, form will be the deciding factor. Both have a history of blowing hot and cold.

 

[Tarqs]

BBD puts a bigger shift in, but is knackered after 60.

He could barely walk and we left him on
for another 25 mins.

 

[DronnieBlade]

Brookes.

Country mile.

I voted JRS. I think overall he offers more playing on the right. BBD looks a much more useful player when he’s on the left.

We have an embarrassment of riches for the three slots behind the striker. All of them will have a part to play.

 

[McGrath]

Rak-Saki at home against them teams that sit deep and we need a bit of flare to break them down.

BBD in all other scenarios, particularly as he puts a shift in and tries to protect his full back

 

[ThatJa]

In the games where Campbell isn't fully fit, why not play BBD up top?

Or late in games when Campbell comes off, put BBD there and put Rak-Sakyi on the right?

 

[FTPE]

BBD all day.
He's big, strong, can finish and is constant thorn in the oppositions side.
No he's not fit enough, and the right doesn't suit him as he can't cut inside and shoot anymore, but JRS isn't doing enough to earn any more than a cameo.

 

[FTPE]

I'd like to see JRS play off a striker (Campbell or Moore) if we ever need a goal.

 

[Frank the tank]

BBD Campbell and Cannon all make great runs off the ball and don't get fed it early enough
Real shame, only hamer trys to but we really need to. Use this route more

Interesting point.. when it's time to bring Campbell off I'd be happier seeing BBD replace him off the bench than the likes of Cannon and Moore.

 

[MayorOJC]

BBD on the left, JRS on the right.

Square pegs, square holes.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

BBD, but it doesn't need to be either or

Campbell shouldn't start every game

JRS should be tried on the left too. We've wasted this weapon massively

 

[nopigfansintown]

BBD left, JRS right, Campbell middle. Hamer in the hole.

 

[IdLiketoRogerMoore]

BBD left, JRS right, Campbell middle. Hamer in the hole.

And shift all 3 every 20 mins so the full backs don't know what day of the week it is....

 

[Fjortoft's Aeroplane]

BBD left, JRS right, Campbell middle. Hamer in the hole.

People keep calling for it, but not seen any evidence this season that Wilder is up for giving Hamer that central role. Why though?

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

Rotate, so we've got fresh, fit players, putting the shits up defence. Doesn't need to be either or.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

People keep calling for it, but not seen any evidence this season that Wilder is up for giving Hamer that central role. Why though?

He's obviously given licence to drift inside anyway so it's hardly a huge debate

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Hamer is looking better than he has all season with his general play, especially ball retention, so it would appear time to try him centrally more often. We also need extra presence in the middle if Souza is out

 

[jono_t2000]

BBD for me.

Just don't think JRS gets the ethos of being a Blade and playing for Sheffield United.

Seems a bit too laid back and not willing to give blood, sweat and tears to ensure the team wins.

Seems to be playing for himself more than the actual team.

He likes the Burrows width. Hamer cuts in allowing Burrows more space to cross. You do that and Burrows becomes more of a stopper type imo.

I think whoever he played for, even CP, he’d have the same attitude which is. “Give me the ball and let me have a go. Ooops I’m not as good as I thought I was, I ll just go into my shell and hide a bit. It’s tough out there.” He’s got to grow some balls to (a) accept he has to work to help his fullback and (b) that he has to have a go going forward no matter what the result. Being neutral and Meh is not an option at this level.

He's been a bit disappointing since his recovery from injury. I give him a bit of a pass for the period when we were overplaying him and he got injured. He looked knackered. Hopefully he'll come again.

 

[JimW1889]

BBD noticeably a lot better at helping his defender out. JRS been off it for a bit, but comparable going forward at their best.

 

[thehet]

People keep calling for it, but not seen any evidence this season that Wilder is up for giving Hamer that central role. Why though?

Because he doesn't press as well as O'Hare which is what we need to do in most of the games.

 

[Norwood's 6 iron]

It's never this simple, our right hand side tends to be our weak spot.
Consideration needs to be given to who plays as right back. If it's Seriki and you want him to get forward, you can't play JRS.
If you play a more defensive full back then JRS may be your better option.
If Clark or Gilchrist come back in, I would like to see Seriki given the chance to play further forward. But at this stage of the season and with so much at stake I can't see Wilder making too many changes unless he is forced to.

 

[thehet]

JRS is inferior in almost every aspect apart from 1v1s. BBD every day.

Both Brezza D and Rak-Sakyi have looked great on their good days...and anonymous on their bad days. Can't see Hamer being moved from the left side position when fit, so who's your choice to start down the right for the last 8 games of the season?

Brooks.

 

[Thrice]

I think generally BBD is better as a starter and JRS has more impact coming from the bench.

Imagine being a Championship left back who's already been on the pitch for 70 minutes. You've already had to run and defend for over an hour and then there's Rak-Sakyi coming fresh of the bench. That's a nightmare right there.

 

[Jan Age]

I can’t believe how out of shape BBD has gotten when compared to last season… a yard off it pace wise and no stamina
