[Harry's Game]

I hope to feck that Shoutbox team leak is wrong

I hope to feck that Shoutbox team leak is wrong

And it was what?

 

[Harry's Game]

And it was what?

Peck, O’Hare, Hamer three in midfield

 

[Uganda Blade]

Peck, O’Hare, Hamer three in midfield

Oh dear. Let's hope it was a wind-up

 

[kop blade]

...0.3...like my new page says yep we blades will win...

 

[kop blade]

Selles indicated a few things in the presser, most notably an unsolicited mention of 5 at the back and that Bindon/Ogbene/Chong wouldn't start.

Bindon not back until late today
Chong has never trained with the squad
Ogbene "won't play"

I'm hoping for something like:

--------------------------------Cooper
Seriki-Godfrey--McGuiness--Tanganga-Burrows
------------------Matos--------------Peck
------------------------------Hamer
---------------------Campbell-----Ings

Subs: Davies, McCallum, Mee, Soumare, Barry, O'Hare, Chong, Cannon, One

Weird to have so many players to actually chose from!

In that scenario, we have players like Bindon, Ogbene, Davies, Brooks, Z not even making the squad.

spot on great sufc team line up yep we blades will win m8..utb..

 

[Bell4]

Met him once - genuinely.

He had Philip Schofield attached to him.

True story

Quite a few have apparently

 

[Super Furry Blades]

Scrappy 0-1

 

[espoo blade]

Scrappy 0-1

Would definitely take that!

 

[AnstonBlade1]

No goals again 2-0

 

[Shawy24]

The problem for me and possibly others is that I really don’t care any more.

 

[Grey Blade]

Mark McGuiness has been quite prominent in the media so I can't imagine him not being in the starting 11

 

[john Mathison]

If Matos or Somare' , are not starting, it will be more of the same. I do so hope I am totally wrong.

 

[Nick Jansky]

Which Gordon have we signed ? Anthony, Noele, Flash ?

The season is at a bit of a crossroads, so it’s Noele.

 

[71Blade]

Be nice to see a few shots and for them to actually be on target

 

[bakeblade]

Many thanks for info on missing players and encouragement on three at the back

Best team for me

Cooper
Gordon McGuiness ZatterStrom (replacements of missing height - the one cap wonders)
Seriki Peck Soumare/Matos Burrows
Hamer Campbell Brooks

Hamer and Brooks can play deeper to start/under pressure if needed

Get it forard - diagonals from the back like Robinson and Sooty did when overriding Wilders chuckle brothers tactics or when they had to usually.
You CANNOT implement a HIGH PRESS when you have three players passing in your six yard box from imbecilic goalkicks (you just give opponents the opportunity from any inevitable mistakes)
You ATTACK WIDE not head for two banks of four on the edge of the box - with wingers who can cross from the by line not fullbacks/wing backs.
You TURN DEFENDERS, make them face their own goal and make them uncomfortable not play in front of them
'Football is a simple game complicated by people who should know better'

Any reason you are dropping our best performer against Boro?

Gordon's ALIVE??

 

[Bell4]

The season is at a bit of a crossroads, so it’s Noele.

I see what you did there - used to watch Crossroads whilst eating my toast toppers and dreaming of orange angel delight - happy power cut candle burning days

 

[SB_90]

there only 2 teams in top 6 tiers of english football that are pointless. 1 is wolves the other is us. hopefully that changes tonight

but also we just need some defensive organisation. as we are so wide open its miracle we only had 1 goal defeats in the last 3. we could easily be coming into this game having conceded 10-11

 

[Ukkonen]

Im desperate to see the lineup, not long

 

[Need4speed]

Mark McGuiness has been quite prominent in the media so I can't imagine him not being in the starting 11

Not sure! With Wilder if they did the presser they didn't play.

 

[Blade58]

As long as we get a result I don’t give a fk how we play tonight

Atm, for me, beggars can’t be choosers. Let’s get some points on the board and then we can debate how to improve performances

 

[Foxy]

I hope to feck that Shoutbox team leak is wrong

If it’s the one I’ve seen from a quick scroll, it’s wrong.

 

[Ukkonen]

Whats the leak say?

 

[Grey Blade]

Not sure! With Wilder if they did the presser they didn't play.

We'll know in 24 minutes or so

 

[Nedski]

Wtf is that

 

[Davalon]

Assume Ings injured, Bindon only just back from the other side of the world, no problem with Peck and Matos together but 'interesting' selections elsewhere

 

[Harry's Game]

Wtf is that

 

[Colombia Blade]

Guessing this is how we'll line up...

---------------Cooper-----------------

Godfrey--Tanganga--McGuinness--Burrows

---------Peck-----------Matos---------

--Brooks--------O'Hare---------Barry--

---------------Cannon-----------------

Cannon instead of Campbell, no Hamer - A bold move let's see if it pays off!

Assume Ings injured, Bindon only just back from the other side of the world, no problem with Peck and Matos together but 'interesting' selections elsewhere

Ings pulled up in training on Tuesday.
