answers the questions we all wondered especially with all attacking options we have but looks pretty similar. happy to have Robinson whose banging in goals & player of year up front. then interesting mcburnie & sharp on bench got some good options of bench

no mousset or ravel even on bench. but i guessing that match fitness as not played many games in pre season

come on lets surprise some people

 

[bromtom]

Last time I look at a match thread before a game. Jesus Christ.

 

[bromtom]

£20 million striker on the bench??? Does seem a little strange to me.

£20m striker that's played 45 minutes with us.

Doesn't seem that strange to me.

 

[JayGreen17]

Team selection aside....come on Blades!!!!

 

[Akinbiyi]

Truth is he weakens us, we lose that flow and shape that makes us what we are. Bad move by Wilder if he starts.

Truth is he’s wank

 

[robbiez666]

I can see the logic with Robinson and McG upfront. Both will drop and tackle back. They've played together in pre-season and linked up fairly well. I just don't think the ball will stick upfront. We're clearly look to play on the counter but that means having an out and McBurnie is the best out.

 

[Blend-it-like-Harris]

the team will probably look very different in a few weeks' time.

I'd imagine the team might look very different in the 2nd half today.

 

[Akinbiyi]

Team selection aside....come on Blades!!!!

Ah it’s not even important team. We might not win on the pitch but at least we’ll give em a good shoeing outside ground.

Play em, fuck em, feyt em. UTB.

[247Blade]

The players weve brought in are that good they arnt in the First 11 ... and Lundstram .... WHAT???!!!

 

[raimond]

'kinell. Bring back some of the pre-season threads on gardening and pension contributions if some are spouting this shite already.

Overload in wide areas is our number 1 strategy going forward, I don't think either Goldie or Robbo are box strikers so not starting McBurnie or Sharp is a strange one. I think Wilder has gone way to defensive for this one.

 

[jono_t2000]

Like everyone else, dumbfounded by Lunny starting and flat 3. But hey would love nothing better for him to play a blinder today. Let's fucking go. Mcburnie to score the winner. A 0-1 victory coming our way!!

UTB!!

 

[Dec]

How fucking depressing is it on here?

We are going into our first game of the PREMIER LEAGUE season. Get behind the team and manager, Lunny and all.

The team is based on performances in training and pre season. And this lineup wouldn't be a surprise to those that have witnessed any of pre season or Wilder's interviews.

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

I'm a big fan of Wilder but he doesn't always get it right. I don't think we've won a game where Lundstram has started...I'm not sure it's just a coincidence.

I was thinking the same

Of course he doesn't always get it right. No human being does. But if he, in his professional opinion thinks that's his best team for the match today, then I'll go with him. Might prove right, might prove wrong. But the over-reactions on here are mind boggling.

 

[trevorhockey]

Nervous tho utb

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

Thanks to everyone who recommended this bar in Majorca. Perfect.

 

[Cerberus Blade]

Here here bludyhell its game one lets hope we dont get tonked b people jumpin off cliffs

Aye. So you were saying like.

 

[ChrisDysonHT]

I will post any goals on here as I am settled in Portugal watching via a live stream .......... UTB ..... come on the Blades .... 0 1 to us .... Billy to score then to pull his shirt off to show his T shirt saying 'League 1 my arse!'

 

[Cerberus Blade]

Nervous tho utb

Well that's one thing I'm not.

Nervous? Blimey - what will you be like when we play Liverpool and Man City?

Bournemouth are relegation fodder. So are we apparently. I just hope our players aren't nervous about playing otherwise we might as well book our tickets back to the Championship now.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

And so am I .

So we spend around £45 million and then turn out our side from the Championship but without our leading goalscorer and our most effective midfield player .

Something about that doesn't seem quite right to me .

Jesus fuckin wept,whats Wilder tryin to do,give Howe a boost before we even kick a ball.

Lundstram,cant wait for the highlights of this game.

 

[Birdwell Blade]

Any chance we could trust the judgement of the coaching team, who have got us promoted twice, brought in players everyone wanted this summer, have seen us train, have researched Bournemouth in depth, know who is fit, know who is on form and so on?

I personally think that’s the way to go.

Thanks to everyone who recommended this bar in Majorca. Perfect.

Is Chris growing an orange beard (like McBurnie) or has he just had a jubbly?

 

[wavy-blade]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHH David McGoldrick !!!!!!!!!

COME ON YOU BLADESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[Birdwell Blade]

I’m not coming on this forum after 5pm if we lose, it will be chaos and Wilder and Lundstram will be hung, drawn and quartered

 

[JayGreen17]

Team selection smacks of backs to the wall..., see how we ease in then maybe change up later on...just hope we don’t invite the pressure which we tend to do with a flat mid.
