Dissapointed with that team selection.

Weird how this prat joined the summer we went up... wonder if it's one of Pig Metcalf's aliases.
 
He's a pig infiltrator. Out of all the football reated avatars in the world, he's picked one disrespecting Warnock. Not the smartest.
 
This season is going rather well. It seems that Chris Wilder is indeed a football genius.
I confess that even I have had my reservations at times for which I must apologise. Thank you God for sending him to us.
 
I've just got back and not read the thread but I didn't like that line up at all.

Firstly, Basham shouldn't just be cast aside like that. RCB is his place, as LCB is O'Connell's, LWB is Stevens and so on. He has more than earned it and a petty yellow card suspension shouldn't cost him his place.
I know Cranie has done very well at RCB but I would've moved him to LCB if O'Connell was out, with Stevens LWB.

Additionally, we needed all the physicality we could get considering WBA's physical power, so that made Basham's omission more baffling. We were gambling on them not getting a lot of set pieces.

Starting Johnson was very risky and we were lucky to get away with it.

Then if Basham isn't playing and Egan's our only powerful aerial player, surely Madine starts. But he didn't!

So I really didn't get it at all.

In hindsight, it was a decent game for McGoldrick to start. Stevens is ace at LCB but it meant starting Johnson - not sure if worth it. Cranie was excellent once again, more than justifying his own place if not explaining Basham's absence. Madine came off the bench at the perfect time and helped us enormously - again. I'm just not sure why Cranie came off, I thought it should have been Basham on for Norwood if anything.

Bottom line though, we won at West Brom with this patched up team. Then to take the piss, we even keep a clean sheet!

Cranie came off because of a tight hamstring or calf I think I heard.

Johnson I can see why he was playing just because I wouldn't play any of our other CBs on the left if JOC isn't available.

Anyway, as you say, we win so fair do's.

Next game though I'd hope for our usual with Baldock and JOC coming back, and Madine up front.
 
Prestonblade5 what do you expect? Your posts are generally negative and full of shit so you're bound to get slagged off.

I’m not complaining. Nobody knows me personally so I take nothing personal.

It’s good to talk about football with people, positive or negative il take both.

But you don't take both.......nothing positive from you at all.

I’m so happy we won, it’s our biggest win in a long time. It was the most excited I’ve been for a game since Scunthorpe at home in league one (promotion season) but we actually won this one. Proud to be a Blade.

How’s that for positive bro x

Ahhh. It seems the ignore button has a new victim..

Nothing worth reading from this melon..
 

No Madine??

Won 4-0 last game, why not keep the same team?

No chance we can win this game. At all.
The same team would have meant Sharp not recalled which doesnt make sense.

I'd also have picked madine to start but then I don't have the wealth of information and knowledge that Wilder and co. have about fitness, energy and training.

Cranie over Basham was a choice as well, plus Dowell over Duffy.

Great to see that we can mix and match for the next 12, hopefully meaning we always have a fully fit team ready to execute the high intensity game we play.
