All these hilarious comments taking piss out of wilder, where’s the comments for the owners asset stripping the club and selling the best players and not replacing them? How is this wilder’s fault they sold O’Hare on deadline day and replaced him with Ayew, is that a wilder decision

 

[Thrice]

I think Choudhury at RWB would be even worse than him at RB. But with this set of players I can't see a back 4.

 

[Aston max]

Has Wilder pulled the names out of a hat? Then again does anyone really care any more?

 

[Aston max]

Watch the game or godfather of harlem

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Looks like keep it tight, then tighter, attack a little if we can, revert to keeping it tight and then celebrate a tight 0-0 way from home.

 

[Shawy24]

Seriously. Is Wilder trying to get sacked asap for a pay off? But then again, We all know him now don’t we? Don’t we Wilder lovers? Choudhury is a right full back because Wilder is never ever wrong about anything and he’ll play him to the detriment of the team like he has Brewster and Cannon before. Please just walk away with a pay off.

Just knew he'd start Cannon

Looks like one of our classic keep it tight then try to win it from the bench jobs

Aside from noting Ayew had to be signed by 12 noon yesterday and he COULD be an ILLEGAL player?

It could be a decent 3-4-3

Donovan Cannon BBD
McCallum Rothwell Peck Choudhury
RND Kitching Tanganga
Cooper

Donovan Campbell BBD
McCallum Rothwell Peck Choudhury
Kitching Baptiste Docherty
Cooper

WOULD BE BETTER - without knowing how they line up
Surely Docherty is not STILL ill

As I said two weeks ago
With Reidewald looking a shadow of himseelf
I would look to Burrows incorporation in the Reidewald role
that Rothwell fails in for me.
Another BAD Wilder costly journeyman signing.
Although Wilder will do
Peck Rothwell

LAST chance for Choudhury in a better Wing back role
Like Tanganga he cannot defend

Playing a DM at RB, playing a LB at LM and leaving Tanganga in the team are all Wilder decisions. I agree on the rest but let's not pretend he's blameless in all this

Can you send me evidence they’re stripping the club? Can you tell me how much money they’ve taken out of Sheffield United?

Doherty might be the new Andy Butler

It's very odd

 

[Greenwich Blade]

Goodness me, what a bunch of greasy-chip-butty eating surrender monkeys.

 

[Greenwich Blade]

Doherty might be the new Andy Butler

It's very odd

That thought had occurred to me as well, which means he's guaranteed to play against Fleetwood Town and score.

Speaking for myself I’ve commented on both, but pivoted more of my wrath to COH

 

[Jim Mcdonald]

Compared to who has played for United at this level the last few years, our best line-up is very uninspiring all of a sudden. Shows what a terrible job this ownership group has done.

 

[Working Class Hero]

Donovan actually came through as an attacking midfielder, could he be in the number 10?

That could mean a three man midfield (which we all want), two up front (which we all want), and five at the back (which we clearly need).

 

[Brumdog66]

Don't care if its a 5 or a 4 just hope BBD is up front

 

[Red Wing Blade]

In his pre-match interview, after talking up opponents again (to get the excuses in early for not winning), Wilder stated that we lack consistency. He then goes on to make 3 changes to the starting line up (again).... without a hint of irony.

This is for you Chris.

 

[Colombia Blade]

Says a lot that no one has a clue what formation we're supposed to be playing!

 

[IdLiketoRogerMoore]

That line up reminds me of Hecky at Burnley away...

Same part of the world...

 

[Willmark]

Says a lot that no one has a clue what formation we're supposed to be playing!

442 what else can it be
I quite like it other than the Choudhury pick

 

[RWE]

Looks like a 5 to me?

 

[Red Wing Blade]

I quite like the formation. I just don't like most of the players picked for it.

 

[Pintor75]

Good to see Shackleton playing that "big part" we were told about

To be fair to the lad he needed a rest!

 

[harrry1990s]

Is it 5-2-3?

 

[Champagneblade]

Don phone never fails to give fouls against United does he? Had a few options to give the benefit of the doubt but no!

 

[YES Blade]

Is it 5-2-3?

Does look like it, but McCallum and RND on the left seem to be playing further forward than Choudhury on the right, so I’m really struggling to work out this formation

 

[Shawy24]

Looks like a 5 to me?

How’s that work?

 

[RWE]

How’s that work?

Choudury, Tanganga, Kitching, RND, McCallum out of possession

 

[Brumdog66]

4 4 2 no?

 

[Shawy24]

Choudury, Tanganga, Kitching, RND, McCallum out of possession

Interesting
