Match Thread MATCH DAY POST: The Mighty Blades v Bury

[Not_a_Cheat]

So after the rather bizarre events of Saturday, it's immediately back to league action with the visit of struggling Bury. And what an understatement that is, and what a mismatch this appears to be. As we chase our 14th game unbeaten, Bury have lost 11 out of their last 12, and are currently on their equal worse run in history. Even a cup fixture against one of the big boys is rarely as dramatic as that in terms of form tables....

However Saturday did take it's toll on us in terms of injuries...

So...

Any team news?

Any of the injured three likely to play?

Who comes in to replace each or all?

Hussey and Wilson back in contention after injury?

Scougall a likely starter?

Switch the formation slightly if key players are missing?

Really looking forward to tonights game, but will obviously be disappointed if any of the key three are missing, as this is as big a opportunity we'll get this season to get some goals on the board. Obviously we must guard against complacency but that is Chris's job and one he is accomplishing. Obviously nothing is certain in football, but this is as close as possible to a home banker...... Hmmmm

5-1 Blades please, onwards and upwards

Really looking forward to listening to this. Hopefully I'll be watching our lads late April or August when I come over from Bulgaria for the first time in 11 years. Got to make sure I'm there at season time. And Tony's fish and chips.

All us as usual. Need to pick the pace up and the narrowed pitch isn't helping us tonight. Would stick Chapman on and get running at them.

Half time 0-0

It's proving a tricky match with Bury defending in numbers seemingly content with 0-0. The stats show they've not had 1 attempt on goal yet.

We've looked very good with near passing up to their penalty area then we run out of ideas.

Fleck pulling the strings in midfield but we need someone prepared to dribble with the ball and run at their defense Steve Kabba style.

2nd half kicking towards the Kop. Now they are down to 10 men with Mellis sent off just before half time, they'll put every player in their area.

Predict a lot of goal mouth scrambles in and around their penalty area. Let's hope for a luckier 2nd half than what we had against Shrewsbury.

Still think we'll win a match we've totally dominated but struggled to create much.

Leon Clarke on for the 2nd half.

It'll happen trust me says Keith. Fuck off Keith shut up. We all know it will be one of them nights.

Looks like EEL playing right wing again. The defenders are almost redundant so may as well put them in advanced positions.

Shhh...Bury just had their first shot. Their full back sprinted towards our goal. He had few options so he tried a screamer from 30 yards, just went the other side of the post.
