[Jimmy Fleck]

Can they leave hamza in Sheffield? Desperate for cover at RB.

 

[Dkc]

No idea how to call this. Most people are predicting a home win but it depends which Leicester turns up. Like us they have the potential to be decent but often drop points to random teams.

 

[Pollingtonblade]

We will thrash these, they are absolutely shit

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

A win would be the best result for us in this one

 

[Aston max]

I know we'll get 2/3 goals just wondering how many Leicester will score ?? Question " who the fuck is our defensive coach "

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

A win would be the best result for us in this one

Straight from the Micheal Owen book of punditry

People can disagree all they want but I'm sticking to it

 

[Pintor75]

2 up front is a must against the likes of these, terrible centre defenders, go for it from the off and no tippy tappy around our back four
Cooper
Seriki, Tanganga, Mee/Bindon, Mcallam
Chong, Reidawald, Soumare, Hamer
Bamford, O'Hare

Absolutely need to press the living daylights out of them early doors like we did at their place.

 

[Bell4]

When does Bamfords contract run out ?

When does Bamfords contract run out ?

Not tonight, he's starting.

 

[Bell4]

Not tonight, he's starting.

Thanks

That’s cleared that up

 

[Foxy]

When does Bamfords contract run out ?

After the cup game, if he doesn’t sign a new one.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Surprised Fat Gus isn't starting but it appears Wilder is trying to replicate the line up that beat them at their place

 

[Chezzy Blades]

Looks the strongest high pressing line up we can currently put out in leaving out Hamer and Campbell.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Can they leave hamza in Sheffield? Desperate for cover at RB.

He needs something rubbing better so best be at home.

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Poor old Luke Thomas, if seriki plays half of his normal game old wooden legs Luke will get a pasting.

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[Cappy]

 

[Espania blade]

It's interesting that so many of our fans writing Cannon off, and he's only 23!

Tonights line up:

NEW YEAR?
Same old brain dead Wilder.
Please please please keep him away from all transfers
And that imbecile Bettis!

Reasons to sack Wilder this team
1. The shite Tanganga captain - Titanic like. 60 minutes coasting at Stoke till his F up costs the goal!
(After ref error)
2. Bindon played out of position than God forbid the left footed centre back he has discarded already
3. Two mediocre centre backs with wing backs.
4. 3 left footed midfield payers but the bloke ignoring the left side but nominally paying there is a light weight slow no 10 who could not tackle a rice pudding.
5. Brooks potentially our MVP played disabled and wasted on the right WRONG wing.
6. Millions wasted on Cannon
7. Shirt/place wasted on Cannon
8. 3 players allowed to attack most - OHare Bamford Cannon must be amongst the very slowest in professional football played in England today.
9. Chuckle brothers tactics employed every game we got two goals up
What will the opposition score if we do go front this time?
2 as last time, 4 as Wrexham, 3 as Preston or luckily last time out against an appalling Stoke just the one gifted by a clown defender but 'thought' to be Captain material.

All assuming he has learnt nothing the past three seasons and there is no sign of that happening.

F off Wilder and COH if they cannot do better than this shite.

 

[bonobo]

Thought we would be rotating things more for this one. Will definitely need to be one of those big 60mins, think we will be flagging more than normal after that. Leicester are very inconsistent, but if they are on their game, probably favourites for today. But still, we can't stop scoring at the moment, so let's see.

Got to be the earliest ignore I've ever done this one

Wilder out?

Apart from all those players that didn't start that game?

Weirdo. Tit
