This is..err... our only creative players and goalscorer. I guess the idea is we run, chase, press the shit out of them for 60 mins, hang and then bring the big guns on fresh. If it doescomes off, it will look a masterstoke...off. But let's say on paper the defence with two in front looks solid, if they have time to gel. Problem for me is, that with all these new signings, I don't see us being able to pass the ball particularly well.

 

[The Crab]

Whats the leak say?

It’s saying my sinks fucked.

Oh you don’t mean that leak do you?…

 

[Captain Obvious]

Selles needs replacing, the bloke hasn’t got a clue what he’s doing.

 

[BangorBlade]

Fcking clueless, get him gone.

 

[FriethBlade]

Well screw me ive no idea what hes playing at. One thing is for sure he doesn't give a damn what we all think. To play Cannon and not Hamer is job suicide.

 

[Champagneblade]

On one hand perhaps he’s thinking press them and keep it tight and then have a skilled bench to finish them off.

On the other when you think Sheffield United, it’s a brave men who goes “yep, that Gus Hamer is the problem there…”

Fingers crossed, prayer mats out!

With Cannon leading the press!

 

[Camden Blade]

To be honest Hamer has looked unfit. He doesn't last past 70 mins now. It's not a bad idea to bring him on second half which I'm sure will happen. Same for Campbell. Not sure about Peck. He is not creative. Would like to have seen Chong start.

 

[ATL Recs]

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

Half time he’ll be gone

 

[Tom Bott]

I thought one of the reasons some used for Wilder 'having to go' was because he only played 'Brexit Blade' players.

Bring in a Spanish manager and he picks a team with 9 English and 2 Irish players

 

[Weasel]

Well Cannon can't complain about being played out of position now. Its up to the lad now to show hes a lot better than he's shown recently.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Don’t understand Cannon up front - we were trying to loan him out on deadline day.

I’d forgotten this!

Prove me wrong Ruben!

but it’s coming across like he doesn’t have a fucking clue what he’s doing!

 

[The Hobott]

Very bold. But then again if you're gonna get sacked anyway what's it matter

 

[Slugger]

Just seen the team.
WTAF is going on?

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Well Cannon can't complain about being played out of position now. Its up to the lad now to show hes a lot better than he's shown recently.

With the chances we haven't created unless that changes he will likely have as many touches as Campbell has had all season

 

[jim2007]

You could give a million monkeys a million typewriters and a million years and they still wouldn't have come up with that team.

 

[IdLiketoRogerMoore]

Credit where credit is due, Selles has a pair of bollocks on him!

 

[Pintor75]

Looks he's trying to be more solid and hit them on the break, decent bench and give it their all for 45 then change over to a group of fresh players in second half, but not the side I would have chosen tbh,

 

[radio]

Was totally against letting Wilder go , unimpressed with his replacement and said he really has to hit the ground running , P4 L4 , I now see tonight's line up and think he has to get this right ,, I am still hoping he becomes our greatest manager of all time ,, good luck tonight RS ,,,COYRAWW UTB

 

[Cuypers]

It’s definitely a situation situation.

 

[Slugger]

The only possible slack I could cut him is if he has changed how we are set up but from that lineup it doesn't look like he has.

 

[AWetFlannel]

With Cannon leading the press!

I don't think he'll press any worse than Campbell has this season, it's whether he can hold the ball up which I worry about.

 

[just ted]

Can’t see us scoring. Obviously hope I’m wrong

 

[Davalon]

Is Hamer carrying an injury? If not then he’s lost the plot

I guess that's the question, is he not 100% is it tactical?

 

[LONDON_BLADE]

Well.
Has he seen something in training?
For me this could be lost by half time.
Surely he's thinking hold them for 45 then bring the big guns on..? Very risky, they could be out of sight before you bring your 2 best players on.

A defining 45 minutes for Selles this.

 

[ATL Recs]

He’s been playing as a deep lying midfielder it that’s not his strength

 

[Cuypers]

Solskjaer…??!!!!

 

[71Blade]

Just seen them walking into Portman Road they looked petrified only Mee with a grin / smile on his face. Look.on the players face remind of England of old and penalties. I've a bad feeling about this one

 

[utd4ever]

Just seen our new manager.

ole gunnar solskjær!
