12/04/2011 – Sheffield United v. Cardiff City

[SteelCity Blade]

I dont know!.....the administration is getting so lazy on here. Only kidding guys

Anyway.....if anyone is remotely interesting in commenting on the foregone conclusion that is tonights game lets have your:-

- line ups
- predictions
- in match banter
- reactions

If I was manager tonight I would line up as follows;

Simonsen
Lowton, Maguire, Lowry, Mattock
Riise, Montgomery, Harriott, Quinn
Slew, Henderson​

It seems pointless sticking with the same players at this stage, other than the odd one or two who we could maybe whip up a bit of interest for (Monty and Hendo). I expect the lineup will be nothing like this and Micky will go for:-

Simonsen
Nosworthy, Collins, Lowry, Mattock
Riise, Lowton, Doyle, Quinn
Bogdanovic, Henderson​

*shudder*

Collins needs to be dropped, Doyle wasn't a total wreck like he has been in the past and I don't think Monty will be back tonight. Is Slew available or is he still serving a match ban from the youth cup?

Simmo
Lowton James Lowry Mattock
Riise McAllister Doyle Quinn
Evans Hendo​

Subs: Askalu Bent Boggy Yeates Tonne Maguire Harriot

If Evans isn't fit then it will probably be Boggy but I prefer him more as the impact player really. If Slew is available I'd have him on the bench instead of Yeates, he can be utilised as a winger I believe and his pace would certainly strain Cardiff plus he may actually try and have a run unlike Yeates did on saturday.

Steel city, i fully expect that Micky will start with Collins And Nos at the back tonight, and if that does come to pass then that will be a shocking indictment of his abilities as a manager.

While ever we've got those two playing in the same team, we might as well let the opposition start a goal up.

 

[TonyAgana]

Did anyone else think we lost our shape after the change on Saturday? I thought Lowton did really well in midfield - therefore (can't believe I'm saying this) I'd stick with Nosworthy at RB.

 

[Highbury_Blade]

Happy to have either nos or Collins in the team as long as the other half of the comedy duo isn't playing at the same time.

Neither should put a Blades shirt on again.

 

[Kentblade]

Having just viewed the Morgan interview on the O/S I wonder how many of the players in the side actually share his passion and comittment.
Having obtained Collins and Doyle plus Bent,no wonder Adams has made no improvement to the side.
Or is it that the funding was not made available.
Oh what a total shambles.

Agree, but unfortunately we are were we are in terms of the squad. Having them both on the pitch is just asking for trouble in my opinion. If there's just the one, then the rest of the defence should be able to cover for their shortcomings.

 

[Grecian2000]

I've said it before, get them up front. The sort of chaos they cause in the box would be ideal at the other end of the pitch.

Don't know if anybody has mentioned it, there is live commentary of tonight's game between Sheffield Utd and Cardiff City on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Xtra, starting 7.40

 

[LA Blade]

Same team as last Saturday.

 

[Highbury_Blade]

Is that your thoughts, or has that been confirmed?

edit confirmed

Simmo, Nos, Hendo, Doyle, Boggy, Mattock, Lowry, Collins, Quinn, Lowton, Riise

can't see past a loss tonight with that defence

 

[Crazyblade]

With that line up, we're screwed. We're dead and buried.

Probably a 0-2 tonight. Such a shame cos I'd love Nathan Blake to get a fly in his ear and a kick up his ass to boot.

 

[bladeinlondon]

I see Vokes scored in the opening minutes for Norwich. Another penny pinching decision by United which will cost them big time. At the risk of sounding American can anyone at the club do the math?

 

[LA Blade]

What a joke we have become...
