[Greg.]

Championship needs some goals looking at the other games today...

 

[originaltrueblade]

Need new centre back ASAP

 

[SB_90]

RND over Robinson. now thats shock for the 1st game. i dont think anyone saw that coming

Knew robbo wasn't playing yesterday so it was either rhys or dovy. ?

 

[FriethBlade]

If someone had asked anyone on here a month ago what our 2 starting CBs would be for the first game of the season not one person would have picked RND and Bindon.

 

[derfblade.3]

So it starts.....

 

[Gin&Juice]

Midfield and defence will get overran. Sort it out Rosen Ridsdale

 

[FINUK]

Attack best form of defence

That back 4 just have to defend without been clever - let the lads in front go win the game

 

[Half Bond Jls]

Looks a good strong team. Can't wait to see new Sheffield United style. 3-0 UTB.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Really poor to be starting the season with a line up like that. But it's normal for us

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

BBC have us down as 442. Nice to see their journalists do basic research.

 

[SittingontheBall]

3-0 result (either way!) to go top until Leicester get a hatful tomorrow.

Like what? Other than RND starting it's a strong line up. Where else is a problem?

The bench is laughable. Threadbare squad. Disgraceful from the owners really.

We didn't get Norwood in the first game of 18
We didn't have Cooper first game of 24
MGW and Iliman first game of 21

Were hardly ever fully prepared.

Its annoying but its usual

 

[Not_a_Cheat]

So isn't this fun. If Selles can manage a 3 goal margin as Chris did in his last home game not so long ago with more at stake, then we are top. Anything less is......?

Right now you're top of the boring miserable bastards chart. Every word you say is a moan.

And every single post of yours is pathetic nagging sensitive bitchery

Maybe revisit that comment at the end of the transfer window?

Bindon and RND(!) at CB. Well below what anyone would have expected. No DM either. Wide open

 

[SB_90]

the wilder fans are going to hate this

 

[john Mathison]

Squeaky bum time, if those crosses come in.

 

[NateDogg]

And every single post of yours is pathetic nagging sensitive bitchery

good, rather that and support my club than the endless negativity.

 

[drblade]

How many fouls does Gus give away? Ffs

 

[luffenhamblade]

Cost us that goal, also, do we actually have a defence?

 

[rosy red]

Well that's a good start

 

[HarryHaslam]

How many fouls does Gus give away? Ffs

I looked at his price prior to the game 1/9 to give away one foul, can’t really back him at that price but suppose could stick him in a bet builder, but really should be 1/100 because it’s nailed on as he can’t help it.

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

What's happened to the fast pressing attacking football? This is like Wilderball last season with worse players

Nope, I love it.

 

[paidsy]

A really silly foul away. I was hoping that would have been knocked on the head a tad...
