Match Thread Burnley v. Sheffield United - 21st April 2025

Expecting us to be on the receiving end of a similar scoreline to Stoke right now

 

[Shawy24]

Robinson as well..so i guess its stupid

I did call it. All we need now is to stick Brewster on when we take Peck off.

 

[Snowflake]

I wonder if that's how it's viewed by the management?

Looking at the selected team I think they do !!

[Bertie Mee]

I am reluctant to have a go at Wilder’s line up until I hear his reasoning which better be good as it screams to me him saying fuck it and fuck the lot of you!

 

[Uganda Blade]

I wonder if he's planning to play over them (as opposed to around or through)., hence long balls/crosses to Moore for Cannot and BBD to feed off?

 

[Lower Drop Blade]

Baffling up top selection from our tinker man

Expecting us to be on the receiving end of a similar scoreline to Stoke right now

Really ? Why so negative ? I am not suggesting that we will win but I doubt we will be annihilated ! Cannon hat trick coming up ?

 

[Esteban Cambiasso]

Problem?

 

[Champagneblade]

We said that Cannon’s best position was with a big man.

So I guess no excuses today.

Hat-trick incoming!

 

[loyalblade95]

Trying a 4-4-2 in this match (with a view of potentially using it for the playoffs) might be the best game to try it.

Either that or a 4-3-3 which is the base for the 4-2-3-1 that we use, pretty sure we used a 4-3-3 against Liverpool and Brentford at home (CW's first 2 games) last season.

 

[drblade]

Wasn’t expecting that starting 11!

UTB

 

[YES Blade]

I assume it’s 4-3-3?

Maybe Cannon might actually be able to do something if he isn’t the lone striker? Seem odd he hasn’t picked Rak-Sakyi to play on right of a front three.

No Holding? Surely that’s got to be a fitness issue? If it isn’t Wilder wants sacking!

To be honest, I’ve given up trying to work out what is going through Wilder’s head what he picks the team these days!

 

[Davalon]

Hopefully two up top with Cannon playing off Moore.

Holding should have been given more game time but if the physios are saying another start is a risk then you have to listen. We'd be fucked if we lost him for the rest of the season.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Problem?

 

[loyalblade95]

And the reason he cramped up is lack of minutes due to Wilders obsession with Robbo

Fair enough, if he'd played more minutes he would be less likely to cramp up.

But what's done is done, and we've just got to get on with it, as good as hindsight is, we just have to do what we can.

 

[The Darton Blade]

Wilders sticking 2 fingers up at the fans by
starting with Robinson and firing blanks Cannon , feel having a prayer, hope Wilder leaves

 

[Zlatan]

Looks like 4-4-2 to me. Hamer on the left, BBD on the right, Peck and Vini in the middle with Cannon and Moore up top.

 

[Sothall_Blade]

4-2-3-1 with Cannon more likely to score from the number 10 position than Brewster or O Hare?

That’s my staying positive spin on it

 

[SUFC Guy]

Really ? Why so negative ? I am not suggesting that we will win but I doubt we will be annihilated ! Cannon hat trick coming up ?

He only posts negative comments for attention. I can't see any other logical reason for doing it.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Looking at the results today in the top 10.............owts possible in this game

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Oh fuck no..........the team

 

[Matlock Blade]

With that positive lineup I'm predicting Burnley 0-Blades 7

 

[originaltrueblade]

Wilders team selection is beyond me

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Problem?

No, deep in thought over your post. Infact I 100% agree. That was me thinking. Little round yellow bald headed fella, quite the resemblence

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

64 year's and counting, apart from the odd highlight I think I've got the right to be a grumpy twat

One of the perks of being old

 

[redandwhitewizard]

Very odd selection. Reminds me of changing the shape against Leeds and then losing.

 

[HackeyBlade]

He's completrly lost it. What formation are we playing? Why no JRS? Why play a CDM at RB when there's 2 on the bench?

 

[SB_90]

2 upfront im guessing unsure on formation 442 or 4312 . the positive is that these last 3 games are the best for experimenting & we dont need the points. we need find some form & hopefully this unlocks something

as much id hope to see the back of robinson. we have no other option because he persisted with him & holding can play 1 game a week currently

 

[Lower Drop Blade]

No Holding either . Fuck me bring back bomb scare
