[Berkshire Blade]

Hamer doesn't fit high press intensity football. Isn't a winger. Isn't a deep midfielder. It's why I wasn't totally against selling.

Cannon for Campbell is interesting

 

[Harry's Game]

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!

A .. 4-2-3-0 formation is brave.

 

[Need4speed]

Unless we win(which we won'T) He may have just written his resignation letter. That midfield is terrible.

 

[pudseyblade]

Bold. Big sacked-in-the-morning vibes here

 

[Barry Butlin]

Well at least he’s gonna get sacked after this game..

 

[Eppyblade]

He needs to get a result with that team or he’s gone I would think, big risk.

I’ve actually been looking forward to the game this week, few new lads etc. that line up has took all the enthusiasm out of me an hour before kick off but let’s see

 

[Harry's Game]

Looks to me he’s decided early in the week to drop Campbell and play Ings, and then Ings has got injured so he’s gone with Cannon instead

 

[Railway Blade]

Dropped the only two players who have scored for us this season
Bold or fool hardy we will soon see.

Interesting,,, Campbell can't complain in being dropped although his replacement has been worse.
Hamer and O’Hare also have been poor, I'd prefer Gus though
Not a great start from the injury prone Ings.
Comfortable win for Ipswich I'm afraid

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Unless we win(which we won'T) He may have just written his resignation letter. That midfield is terrible.

We don't have a massively better one.

 

[Cheeky Blade]

Cannon hat-trick.
Lump on Blades.

 

[jaybee]

Is this a wind up?!?

 

[Esteban Cambiasso]

I'm convinced he's trying to get sacked for a payout after seeing that line up ... It's like my mum who watches one game a year has picked it

 

[Lowen]

Should’ve gone this international break, wasted two weeks just for us to rock up with Cannon upfront and our best player on the bench.

 

[Rodley]

That line up does beg the question - has he lost his tactics jotter?

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[Badger Blade]

If it comes off then fair play to Selles because he'll make a lot of us look silly.

Either that or he'll be out of a job this side of Halloween.

 

[Bell4]

Cannon hat-trick.
Lump on Blades.

I agree

But I’m absolutely fkin crackers too

 

[bibbity bobbity boo]

Whens the proper line up getting announced?

 

[toledo]

Well…/ the team selection is a bit of a surprise to me…. If we don’t win, the team selection has opened up a big can of worms for Ruben….

 

[Esteban Cambiasso]

If it comes off then fair play to Selles because he'll make a lot of us look silly.

Either that or he'll be out of a job this side of Halloween.

He should be sacked before kick off for that line up... He's taking the piss

 

[Gavlar]

Whens the proper line up getting announce

 

[Weasel]

Well this could be inspirational by our Spanish gaffer. On the other hand it could be another shit show incoming. If I was a betting man....

Fingers and toes crossed, anyway. C'mon United.

 

[PokerBlade]

Funny. Was having a conversation earlier where I said he could probably get away with a loss as long as it looked like a significant improvement. But I don't see a world where you can make those changes and not die by the sword. He's somehow found a way to ramp up the pressure on himself even more.

 

[YES Blade]

I'm convinced he's trying to get sacked for a payout after seeing that line up ... It's like my mum who watches one game a year has picked it

You beat me to it, I was going to say exactly the same.

He either knows something we all don’t and he’s got some tactical master plan to win or he’s thought fuck it I want out!

 

[Colombia Blade]

Seems to be the general consensus on here!

 

[Not_a_Cheat]

I'm excited for next week. When we appoint a manager and get rid of this clown.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

He simply does not want to be employed by Sheffield United football club.

 

[Gavlar]

Seems to be the general consensus on here!

Bonkers line up.

 

[Colombia Blade]

Bonkers line up.

I'll reserve my judgement til after the game (or half time, or first 10 minutes, or whatever)
