Normally I'd say we need to focus on the league. However, my son & I have come to the match on one of the Blades coaches. It's our first away match this season because, although we've been season ticket holders for about six years, we don't have enough loyalty points to get away tickets in the Premier League. So having got up at 6:00 AM and travelled down here, I want a reasonable team and a good performance.

 

[Brownieblade]

Want to see Freeman in mid for nothing else than to boost my hopes that we aren’t shipping him out

personally think we should go for the cup, given how we have played this season so far I’m confident we could beat anyone in a nothing to lose season already done cup final

Who is Billy Robinson ?

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Looks cheesed off to be back in London does Freeman – rumours he absolutely hates it here and was relieved to get away. Purposefully asked to be out of the matchday squad at the Emirates as he couldn’t bear the journey.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

As expected

 

[robbiez666]

Generally, as expected. I'm surprised Clarke is on the bench. It seems pointless. Is Rodwell injured? Seems odd you wouldn't think about giving him 20-25 minutes if we're winning. I'm also a bit puzzled why Verrips doesn't get a start after what happened last time.

Still, enough out there to win, but likely to be close.

 

[sheff_blade90]

very happy with that wilder has walked the tightline of a strong team but resting big players. its a question id like to know from someone if you dont want to go for fa cup now when do we. we are safely in premier league. so we havent got all the excuses everyone talks about promotion battle or a relegation battle to sort out or distraction of europe.

we have never been in better position to make our 1st final since 1936. when you think you likely have to be 94yr old member of this forum to have any vague memory of our last fa cup final

 

[jt64]

Like that line up

 

[BladeTillIDie]

Hopefully Basham JOC and Norwood come off at half time when were winning.

Hopefully Basham JOC and Norwood come off at half time when were winning.

Well that's us fucked then!

 

[Edinblade]

What was the point in signing Rodwell if he can’t even make the cup team

 

[Wardy1889]

Rodwell ill according to twitter

 

[YES Blade]

Millwall have made 5 changes, including this pair getting a start.....

 

[Dutch Blade]

My Sharp shirt arrived just in time for the match! Should be an easy win now

 

[Harry's Game]

Leon Clarke had the softest easiest season picking up a wage he could only have dreamed about.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

It's a good lineup as the spine that's integral to our system is in there, meaning we get a decent idea of how our fringe players might slot in if required.

Deserved rests for Fleck, Stevens & Lundstram & no point in risking Baldock, McGoldrick, or Mousset's fitness. The regulars that he's started with again are boys we know can easily handle the extra fixture - though I'd consider bringing O'Connell & Norwood off on the hour.

As usual, I think he's got it bang on.

Intrigued & really looking forward to this one.

Was that a guess GleadlessBlades or are you ITK?

 

[Toronto Blade]

Rodwell must be injured he did come off during the Fylde game.

Leicester beat Brentford meaning that United will never play at Griffin Park again, Brentford move to a new ground next season.

Just as the Business Plan intended.

 

[Trigger Blade]

Their new ground seems to have been under construction for years?

 

[Ricky]

Think Wilder's got it just about spot on leaving out Stevens, Baldock, McGoldrick and Mousset altogether, while selecting a strong enough team.

Important that those players stay fresh.

 

[JPBrods]

On the last train in to South bermondsey before kick off right now and there is literally no one on it.

Did all 1,400 of you go in early?

 

[Houston_Blade]

Decent team that. Should be able to give it a good go with them.
