I hope the ref doesn’t apply the new stupid injury rules or the goal kick pass back in the same idiotic way that the ref did on Wednesday

 

[bakeblade]

Early kick offs who do they benefit ?

Not travelling fans thats for sure.

If we under perform and lose this will give a huge incentive to Middlesboro to beat QPR conversely if we win it will put Middlesboro under pressure to match our result.

There is definately pressure on both teams players today which is steadily growing week on week.

I'm feeling it.

Maybe he'll get a better perspective on how the games going from up in the stand. See what's working and what's not. See who's having a good game or a mare.
I've always felt that the touchline is not an ideal vantage point , trying to see what's happening on the far side , through all the players.

Latter point very valid, there’s a reason a lot of co-ordinators in the NFL now sit high up in the boxes

 

[ancientblade]

dont fancy us today a draw would be a great result imo but can see it being a nasty scrappy game and millwall nicking it 1 - 0 late on next weeks game with watford the one we must win

 

[b1ade4life]

Illi benched

And yet it's well with in uniteds wheelhouse to come out and absolutely dominate for 90 minutes. Or fold and barely make a move. Or a variation of the two.

Reyt laugh being a united fan lately! Must be so nice if you're a fan of a big top 6 team to have a fairly good idea every game on the outcome

 

[Wickersley Blade]

Illi benched

Good to see Doyle replacing Mcatee.

 

[Gaini Blade]

My official two days of mourning are over so I'm going for a Blades win. Come on lads prove it was a blip and not a trend forming!

 

[Wright1889]

Good to see Doyle replacing Mcatee.

Mcatee was really poor mid week

 

[bibbity bobbity boo]

 

[Wickersley Blade]

Mcatee was really poor mid week

Awful, poor decision making led to some counters, players then out of position. Need composure today. You could see we've not been challenged much technically lately.

 

[b1ade4life]

Good to see Doyle replacing Mcatee.

Yep, Doyle will give us a bit more bite.in midfield , hopefully to give Norwood more freedom and let berge push further on

You become a bloody nervous wreck being a blade .Most of it self inflicted .

 

[b1ade4life]

1-4 my prediction, mcburnie brace,

 

[VLYDONIMIR]

Agents Long & Burke in their starting XI.

 

[Woodward's Currie]

why no Couliabaly?

 

[Minty]

No Anel or Iliman starting…..not good

Pre Match Preview : Millwall FC

This weekend's fixture will see the club commemorate its annual 'Jimmy's Day', in memory of Jimmy Mizen, a Millwall fan who was tragically murdered in 2008.
Around the ground before the game, take in the atmosphere at the Captains Bar and SE16 Bar, with The Molotovs on hand at the latter to blast out the tunes as kick-off approaches.

 

[derfblade.3]

Don't like it.

 

[JackSUFC]

No Anel or Iliman starting…..not good

Both were off it midweek. Ili will most likely get 45-30 mins to make an impact.

 

[Hamandcheese]

Oh no

Hecky looking to blame the players for Boro there?

 

[Minty]

Both were off it midweek. Ili will most likely get 45-30 mins to make an impact.

Yep, I get that, but they are our best players and without Iliman we could struggle to create much

 

[Drunk blade]

Big chance for Jebbo to show what he can do today... he was just finding form before the ridiculous sending off at Wrexham, be nice to see the lad bag a couple today

 

[Wright1889]

Awful, poor decision making led to some counters, players then out of position. Need composure today. You could see we've not been challenged much technically lately.

When two of your three midfielders play poorly you have an uphill battle.

Up stepped Norwood and Mcatee

 

[JackSUFC]

Yep, I get that, but they are our best players and without Iliman we could struggle to create much

True. I’m expecting a long ball game with Jebbo and McBurnie up top. Could be a painful watch.

 

[Davalon]

Hopefully our shooting at Millwall is better than the Blades on Soccer AM just now

 

[bakeblade]

No Anel or Iliman starting…..not good

Agree on Anel, not sure about Illy though

 

[Toronto Blade]

There is a guy in the stands with his arms folded across his chest sitting on the sad seat, Coulibaly is sat next to him ready to fetch him a tea or a stiff drink.

 

[Greenwich Blade]

Oh no

Hecky looking to blame the players for Boro there?

The players who Hecky picked, the ones dropped having poor games. Whichever way, Hecky gets the blame, as he will if Doyle, Jebbo, and Bash all have stinkers today.

 

[Ralph Blade]

Is Anel one booking away from suspension? Need Berge and Bogle to step up today with the latter being much better with his final product.
