Difficult game against Carlisle tonight

[S64 Blade]

So if the game isn't a must win, what is it?

A must draw?

A must lose?

Every game we play is a must win, otherwise what's the point?

From a pedant's view, yes. But we both know the phrase 'must win' has connotations around the point of no return.

Probably because we failed to win several previous must win games

 

[Fulwood Blade]

Its an easy game if approached the way we did cup games last season.

After our performance on Saturday we should be playing the exact same team that he intends playing v Swansea on Saturday. Giving players a rest at this stage of the season is plain bonkers - this should be used to get players more familiar with "his" style.

We looked like fucking strangers in the park last Saturday.............still bloody annoyed !

Carlisle in a lower division than Doncaster,so we should piss all over them,thats how it works right ?

I'm not worried,only if it goes to penaltys and Norwood is one of the takers

 

[Yogi]

Most important part of tonight is for Slav to get another chance to push more of how he wants to play.
I'd hope for a pretty strong line up.
Would like to see Brewster in for Mousset who I think is likely injured. If Sharp or Mcburnie are fit start ahead of Burke perhaps.
Basham in for Robinson.
Give Freeman a run out at some point too.

Bogle for baldock probably and if fit RND for Stevens

The comments I heard from a lot of sufc fans on my way home after Saturdays loss was OTT if we lose tonight the negativity will be unbearable on my way home

Must adapt to the new formation. Must get used to the new way of playing. Must defend better. Must try to move the ball around with a bit more purpose. Must start scoring goals...If we do all that, that “must win” should turn into a will win.

 

[Houston_Blade]

I’m not going to sit on the fence here and I’m going on record to say that if we want to get into the next round of the cup it’s a ‘must win’.

 

[mattbianco1]

Has to be a full first team. They're not match fit.

Yep. Use it as a pre-season friendly to get up to speed.

We should have too much for them

 

[AnotherBlade]

Brewster - an early burst, then out came the bottom lip. After that, nothing.

Actually seemed to be enjoying himself for the first time ever! Will play better to a crowd!

I desperately want the kid to score. Just to get this monkey off his back. £23m is a heavy responsibility when you just can't seem to fit into the system and no one is laying off a killer pass. I don't doubt that with half a chance on goal, he'd be deadly. Try telling that to Mr Pointy, Brickie, Sickie and Wee Jimmy McFleck.

[BigBed]

Well I think we should be playing the team that's going to start at Swansea.
Then if it needs tweaking, we can use the subs.
I do expect a couple of the young lads to be in the squad later though.

 

[Whiston Blade]

Definitely, Brewster off the mark?

It's got to come eventually, no reason why he can't open his account tonight.

 

[Roygbiv]

Not heard it myself but apparently Slav said we will be playing those who didn't play on Saturday as they need game time

100% pal!

Makes sense, also gives them chance to stake a claim.

 

[tincan]

After badly losing an opening game, if we narrowly lose the following cup game,then fail with 2 tough away fixtures, its another turd start to a season. If no wins until December emerges then the slow starting Slav will be gone..

Bit of a leap there mate!

 

[Gin&Juice]

We’ll be fine after we’ve got that extra yard back. Limited pre season does that to you, no matter how good you are. Birmingham new that. Thought we’d be more understanding. But no, same jumping to conclusions.

 

[FTPE]

I'd like to see Brunt and Freeman play, and I feel we HAVE TO get a partnership started between McBurnie and Brewster.

Its the blades way...

Yeah, I guess some of the starters from Saturday might be a bit leggy.

 

[metalblade]

Well if Brewster can't bag one or two tonight then he never will.

 

[Sharrow Snuff Mill]

I think you mean RND for Osborn. Stevens didn`t play on Saturday.

That’s it sorry brains a bit frazzled

 

[Berlin Blade]

Verrips
Bogle-Basham-Egan-Lowe
Berge-Norwood-Fleck
Freeman
Brewster-Burnie

Midfield 3 need match fitness. I want to see Freeman, and him playing well could open doors for himself which I really want to see. Brewster Mcburnie is a partnership I don’t actually think I’ve ever seen start together and is surely the future. Bogle/Lowe/Verrips in just because I’m not sure when they’ll next get an opportunity. Basham and Egan at centre half because I wanna see that going forward.

 

[Keef Chedwyn]

It'll be wank. Cheers

Berge won’t play, Brunt is the rumour

Slav has indicated several changes tonight.

 

[Fulwood Blade]

that's fine as long as it's the same team that plays v Swansea.

After all - we could probably change 8 or 9 after Saturday.

Why risk Ramsdale, Berge and Egan ?
Perm any other 8 from 22 either tonight or on Saturday.
