Not another one!

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Seconded!

 

[Keen Blade]

Satdi - Wed - Satdi
We did our best but we're old and we're not very fit.
Plus , long journeys and only hours for the manager to tell us how to play.
Cribbage.

 

[Argentinemanager]

Will bamford be fit, was he subbed due to the rash challenge on him, looked like it could be a dead leg type injury to me or was he replaced as a tactical switch, i dont expect anything from the game but wouldnt be surprised if it was just 1-0 either way. Full respect to all those who go as 2 long away games in 4 days is some achievement.

 

[Gannon and Egg]

Shackleton is injured again - lads made of biscuits

Shackleton is injured again - lads made of biscuits

Got his knob caught in a car window when an irate husband turned up. Just what I've heard like...

 

[Keen Blade]

Seems like only half a dozen posters can be arsed with this game ,
Which I guess is hardly surprising now that injuries have arrived to compound the shit recruitment.
Even Wilder looks like crying in the pre-match.
Both his backup RBs are knackered.

And I recall Danny Hall saying this was gonna be the breakout season for Shackleton.
I didn't realise he'd gone to jail.

 

[Bath Blade]

I’ll be there, although it is only 20 minutes down the road for me. Taking my lad and one of his school mates so there’ll be a couple in the away end who sound more like locals than Sheffielders.

 

[Blacksea]

Scot Twine 30 yarders masterclass incoming.
Actually this could turn into a very difficult afternoon.
Blackburn goalie apparently had a worldie in midweek to enable them to take the win,so it shows City don't have a problem creating.
Maybe our tight marking defence can sort that and we smash and grab like Blackburn.
Meanwhile,back in reality.......

[luffenhamblade]

It’s a Saturday morning- there is hope! UTB

 

[Kona]

We need a win today and I think we will (2-0).

Their fans seem as despondent as many of ours, and can see that filtering through to the players. Our away support is usually pretty good, so hopefully it’ll make a difference today.

 

[Uganda Blade]

So what are our options at RB? Tanganga? Or will he switch to a back three?

 

[Cheeky Blade]

Lot of big decisions for Wilder today.

Do we go to a back three with Chong RWB?

I can’t see him starting Donovan in the circumstances.

Can Philips start a game?

Is Oné still on PlayStation duties?

All these questions and more may be answered a little later…

We've actually got very few injuries presently, the ones we have are unfortunately at RB.
We should be able cope with this by moving Tanganga over or using Burrows or McCallum

Unfortunately I think we can assume Wilder will come up with the wrong answer

 

[luffenhamblade]

Blimey, we’ve not even kicked off yet and…

 

[jt64]

Honestly don't care if One's still out. He's the only player in the squad I'm interested in seeing getting minutes right now

 

[Cheeky Blade]

He needs to be getting points on the board.

[BangorBlade]

With no RB fit, I'll go for a 3 - 4 - 1 - 2 formation.

Delighted to welcome Sheffield FC - Although at this rate we will be swapping places.

No he meant that Shackleton was going to retire and take up singing.

Like it but reality is it'll be the same team as Portsmouth but with Philips or someone playing out of position at RB, it's the wilder way. Can then bemoan injuries & too many games when we lose.

Coops looks suitably impressed.

Will it cure them of their ailments and give them new life ?. Hope so.
