Ffs i had completely forgotten about BurkeI just don't get all the people on here thinking LCB is our biggest position of need. Robinson is more than good enough and was one of our better players at the end of last season. OK he's no world beater but who is in that position in the Championship?
We desperately need a box to box midfielder and a player who can can take the opposition on and open up the pitch.
Give me either of them before a LCB.
As it stands and, taking into account injuries, team v Brum: 3,4,1,2
Rammers, Bash, Egan, Robinson, Baldock, Berge, Norwood, Fleck, Didzy, Moose, Burke
I'd have McB in instead of Burke if fit
That team but Jebbo instead of Burke , cant believe were letting him go to Sunderland .I just don't get all the people on here thinking LCB is our biggest position of need.

Jags, Ampadu and Bryan are gone, JOC still not fit so we need to bring in at least one defender and although Robinson is probably fine for a back three, whenever Jokanovic has used a back 4 in the past it's still had full backs bombing forward, so it's best to have more of a specialist there if we need to bring someone in anyway.I just don't get all the people on here thinking LCB is our biggest position of need.

Based on what we've seen so far it is more likely that we play with one central striker - most likely Mousset - and two players supporting him, similar to what Heckingbottom ended up with last season. I think McGoldrik and Brewster OR Burke will be just behind/flanking Lys.Every season since our league one promotion, Bash has been written off as not good enough, or won't fit in the system, yet he's been Mr consistent, Mr reliable, Mr feckin awesome the entire time. He simply cannot be left out.
For the first match I'd like to see:
Ramsdale
Bash
Egan
Robinson
Baldock
Berge
Norwood
Fleck
Mcgoldrick
Mousset
Brewster
Is that 3 at the back with no left wing back or four at the back with Robinson at left back ?Every season since our league one promotion, Bash has been written off as not good enough, or won't fit in the system, yet he's been Mr consistent, Mr reliable, Mr feckin awesome the entire time.

yes i think so as well and in all honesty whichever side or formation we use we really should beat birminghamBased on what we've seen so far it is more likely that we play with one central striker - most likely Mousset - and two players supporting him, similar to what Heckingbottom ended up with last season.

from the bench but agree will be a very important part of our squadWow
73 posts in and no mention of Billy Sharp.
He may not be a regular starter but I’d be amazed if he doesn’t play a significant part this season. Even at 35 he will still be more than capable of doing the business in this division.
Basham in a centre back pair is hideous unless it’s part of a team that just sits back camped in its box (which he won’t be). Every time I’ve seen him in a centre back pair that pushes up he is absolutely allover the place.
Does anyone know what McBurnies injury is? He seems to have been out for ages?
I don't think anyone's writing Basham off. He (along with Billy) is Mister Sheffield United for me, and his performances over the last 5 years at RCB have been immense, he's made that position.Every season since our league one promotion, Bash has been written off as not good enough, or won't fit in the system, yet he's been Mr consistent, Mr reliable, Mr feckin awesome the entire time.

Looks like we may be playing a 4-3-3 with a lot more possession based football
Possession based football is fraught with dangers.
I remember Warnock playing this high tempo direct/ long ball style and McCabe mentioned he wanted to change to a nicer passing style.
He appointed Robson/ Kids under the remit to play “better football” and for the 1st few months we played patient possession based football.
We generally controlled matches under Robson but we hardly created any chances….the opposition didn‘t create chances either.
Our attacks were too slow and due to there being limited goalmouth action it was boring….and our fans didn‘t like the chance in style.
When Wilder first arrived….he said “I know the type of football Blades prefer to see, the ball needs to be moved quicker playing on the front foot football”
If we control possession playing loads of sideways passes…i would imagine some of our fans might boo.
We have a cultural fanbase that love to shout “stop pissin around…gerrit forad”.

Wouldn’t want to see it in a million years
KM muddled his priorities. There was only one - get back into the PL whilst we were getting parachute payments. With only one year full payments and one year on half, we didn’t have time to bring in a “figurehead” manager and radically overhaul our playing style. If KM had just focused on getting in a manager to get us back up, it would have been far better for the club and him personally.Possession based football is fraught with dangers.

Hmmm any style of play is fraught with danger if you play said style half arsed and with the wrong players you will always fail
Bielsa plays pressing and plays that non stop but other teams get battered same for pep with possession etc
We played counter attack last season and got battered every week
However I think we have the players who can play that and have the manager who has proven that they can implement that style at this level
And im not sure our fans do maybe a few people on the back of the kop do but in general i think most would rather play with the ball than without
Haven't we got to play Carlisle first ?
Yeah can see that now ,I initially thought so ut when I looked at upcoming fixtures on BBC it had us down for Tuesday nightbCarlisle match is on Tuesday 10th, 3 days after the Birmingham match.
There's good reason he isn't being mentioned for the lineup this weekend...Wow

Take your point but the thread altered from a “this weekend” to a “this season” theme hence the inclusions of McBurnie, Stevens, RND etc….There's good reason he isn't being mentioned for the lineup this weekend...
