[Blade58]

I pray Robbo has a stormer but everytime he gets the ball running towards his own goal I shit myself because he’s always got that bollock in him

 

[Tickhill Blade]

Shackleton on the bench!

 

[PokerBlade]

Brewster ahead of O'Hare baffles me. We press better, hold more possession, and create more, with O'Hare. It's basically better in every way as far as I can tell.

 

[Aston max]

Poor selection from Wilder, Holding and O'Hare should be nailed on to start. And what's up with Rak Sak?

No O’Hare

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

Jack Robinson… Bristol will be rubbing their hands together

 

[Kevincarterversion2.0]

Poor selection. Wilder will look a right idiot if we have Robbo clanger.

He's not going to help

 

[JHaber]

Trying to prove a point is more prevalent than learning a d adapting.

 

[Aston max]

Poor selection. Wilder is a right idiot if we have Robbo clanger.

Fixed it

 

[Salmon Pastures]

Brilliant!!!! O’Hare on the bench?? Robbo, who we all love, plays but we all know how much more solid we look defensively with Holding in there.

 

[Lower Drop Blade]

Brewster ahead of O'Hare baffles me. We press better, hold more possession, and create more, with O'Hare. It's basically better in every way as far as I can tell.

I honestly do not have a clue what the lads done wrong

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Robbo does have the long throw weapon he could also have a couple of yellows in him too if angry Robbo gets wound up.

 

[Yarrayering]

And Brewster ffs

He gunna score tonight... hopefully on the pitch...

 

[Bladesthorpe]

Wilder is fuckin nuts selecting Robinson.

Could be some humble pie being eaten if JLT throws one on to Moores head and we score from it.

 

[Vegasblade1]

I pray Robbo has a stormer but everytime he gets the ball running towards his own goal I shit myself because he’s always got that bollock in him

I've actually had a fiver on him first goal 50-1

 

[YES Blade]

I just can’t get my head around bringing Robinson back in! Holding looks every bit as good as Souttar so why isn’t he straight in as his replacement?

Holding also brings big match experience after playing in and winning two FA Cup finals. That could be valuable for the biggest matches of the season.

I’m just so baffled by this decision! Hopefully Wilder’s right and I’m wrong on this one.

 

[10-0 win]

Defensive going long tonight. Just dont loose

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

Brewster masterclass incoming

 

[PokerBlade]

I honestly do not have a clue what the lads done wrong

Yeah, he's a really frustrating player when he tries things that don't come off but I think he adds a lot and he's one of those who makes the players around him better. Hamer is better with him, Campbell is better with him, the midfield have better cover.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

It would appear O'Hare would be crucial to making this line up work

Wilder is absolutely married to Brewster and proving a point with him. Which never works when he starts. Even at Hillsborough, he was the most anonymous player on the pitch until his goal

We need to be fast and direct tonight. It's a gamble. Might work, might not. Bit in paper

 

[Big.Dane.w]

Been looking forward to it, now not so excited. Was really hoping to see O’Hare and Holding

 

[Greenblades]

Well let’s see. Not what I would have picked but now is the time for Mr Wilder. 90 points means nothing. If we lose the game tonight badly, then I fear his ego won’t be able to take it. It really is deliver time. I hope he does.

 

[SUFC Guy]

Pussies are out in force tonight

 

[originaltrueblade]

I pray Robbo has a stormer but everytime he gets the ball running towards his own goal I shit myself because he’s always got that bollock in him

He always yes always tries to turn on a sixpence when in reality he needs a tennis court

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Robbo does have the long throw weapon he could also have a couple of yellows in him too if angry Robbo gets wound up.

.
When was the last time we scored from his long throw?

 

[MayorOJC]

Could be some humble pie being eaten if JLT throws one on to Moores head and we score from it.

About as much chance of Cooper scoring from a goal kick

 

[FredZeppelin]

Classic Wilder. First leg 'lump it, clear it, kick it, contain em' line up.

Hope I'm wrong, it works, and we somehow get a narrow, backs-to-the-wall win but my God, we've been so boring this season.

It looks like another one of those nights.

utb

O'Hare against Oxford.

Er...pass..it was a tongue in cheek comment (weapon)

 

[AWetFlannel]

I assume the "shock" at Robinson starting is incinsere, but some genuinely don't get it.
