Hope we stick with soumare. If we can discipline his aggression, think he looks like a decent replacement for vini.

 

[Aston max]

I just hope they've worked with the defence this week, hopefully if all the rumours are true about incomings then next few games will mean we're tighter !!

 

[ITALIANO BLADE]

swans 0 blades 4 ..i back ruben selles to come good we can win and we will win if we just tighten up the backline it can happen all the best blades ,,utb..we only win ,,chow

 

[BigBed]

Only way we tighten the back line, is play everyone there.

 

[Cuypers]

Come on Blades. First win please.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Need to be a lot more Championship wise. Front foot is fine but we don't have a defence that can recover quickly. Bristol City game lesson learnt....I hope.

Is there only audio commentary available for this match as I can't see a link for a live stream on the SUFC website?

Welsh steak and ale pie in the ground a solid 8.5/10. Top crust slightly too hard/overdone, but the pastry on the bottom perfect and the filling very good indeed. The highlight of the day so far.

 

[Colombia Blade]

Maybe like this with Hamer on the right?

Cooper
Seriki - Bindon - Robbo - Burrows
Peck - Soumare
Hamer - O'Hare - Barry
Campbell

 

[Birdwell Blade]

And I’m happy with the team selection, out of what we have.

Only available overseas eg Nordjet flew over to France to get my match pass

 

[robbiez666]

That bench is a bit worrying! Strongest side out. Hopefully we'll get something.

I'd swap the pie rating for an awful 0-1 win

 

[Thrice]

Looks like the best possible team Selles can assemble right now with the players he has.

 

[Davalon]

I'm thinking 4 2 2 1 with full backs pushing on but who knows

 

[Hamer's Right Peg]

O'Hare on the wing then?

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Why the fuck did Robinson not start against Bristol City then?

What is going on?

Is this the old "if we're starting Brewster we're playing with ten men" joke?

 

[Davalon]

Is this the old "if we're starting Brewster we're playing with ten men" joke?

Yeah fair play meant 4 2 3 1

 

[BangorBlade]

Looks a bit more better balanced side strongest team starting

Runs to bookies for 1st red card.

 

[coolasanidiot]

'Cos he wants out. Ruben tried to not play him but realises we are so low on numbers he literally has to. Hopefully he's been told 'grow up' !

Can't see there being many more highlights unfortunately, they will have all the possession and pick us off at will. Come on blades prove me wrong.

 

[Aston max]

Cooper
Seriki - Bindon - Robbo - Burrows
Peck - Soumare
Hamer - O'Hare - Barry
Campbell

I always feel 4-2-3-1 looks better, just a shame we've got a bombscare at centre half.

 

[Espania blade]

I think with the resources Selles has that team is what you woul expect

 

[coolasanidiot]

It is -it's what we all would pick. But Jesus that bench/squad is way too weak. Couple of injuries/cards and we are in a right old state.

 

[YES Blade]

I don’t think anyone will disagree with that selection, it’s as strong as we’ve got.

As expected, limited options from the bench hopefully that’s going to be improved soon
