Big win needed in the catchup game.

Win this and playoffs still just about in sight only 8 points off.

Draw or lose then forget it, 10+ off with no games remaining in hand

Bamford out with a knock he picked up in training yesterday

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Good starting 11, bench not awe-inspiring. Hopefully we're 3 up by time we need replacements

Surprised Soumare is not starting, no Mee or Bamford in squad

Concerned about midfield, but let's see what happens.

Got to love Wilder. Keeps saying Blaster has been asked to do too much too soon and criticism of hin is outrageous. Then he gets players back but still starts him.

Deane’s on fire. Again!

 

[Lord Eddard Muir]

Imteresting formation on the Sky app

 

[PTBlade]

What has Wilder been smoking?

Always on fire, Nikki Lauder got fuck all on me

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Nothing on the bench to change the game if a goal is needed.

So fuckin annoyed that Bamford is missing...............do we play too ruff in training.

Just clocked that formation on Beeb and wondered if I’d slipped into a parallel universe..

[Silkblade]

This will go one of 2 ways:
3-0 Blades
0-1 Oxford
No in between.

 

[Banzeye]

That formation..it’s just shown upside down. Turn it 180 and Cooper is upfront, O’Hare at CB (because of height obviously) and Burrows as overlapping keeper. Obvious really,

 

[SuperSonicBlade89]

Is Burrows up front some sort of weird decoy we don't know about... or does everyone have our formation wrong?

Hat-trick hero Burrows?

Proper chess move.

I actually would not have been against Campbell and Cannon up top, and give one of Hamer and OHare a break for this match. We create lots of chances and if they are playing in a pair, it frees them up to get into attacking positions, whereas as one up top they are often pulled into the build up play. A chance to get them into form. But cant say this is not the strongest line up.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

The lineups on the Google match page also shows Burrows as being up front.

 

[Rufus Smalls]

They’re closing Brooks down quickly. Must have seen his excellent performance at Millwall.

 

[BangorBlade]

Sky + commentary is piss poor

 

[YES Blade]

Fuck sake
