[Geordie Blade]

He did OK there last time

Wasn't the last time the home game against Forest in the play offs?

 

[Jolly Buffer]

I also need some stream options - if anyone’s feeling kind, please dm me

Me too please if any kind soul is feeling generous.

 

[JayGreen17]

Osborn at RWB ffs

Should have had Bash there .

 

[Arcott]

Flat back 4? Anel RB?
Mid - Hamer souza Norwood osborn?

 

[petcharlie]

That bench looks like Steve coopers face

cant be that bad surely

 

[Railway Blade]

Any news on why McBrittle has not made the bench ?

 

[Geordie Blade]

Checking the line ups this season...

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

No idea how Trusty doesn’t start tonight.

 

[metalblade]

Christ sakes Osborn at RWB

 

[S6Blademan]

I’m no fan of hecky he’s done a job though

But playing Left footbed Ben Osborn at RIGHT back is up there with some of the more baffling decisions he has made

 

[Bell4]

He did OK there last time

That is his best position

 

[Lower Drop Blade]

Any news on why McBrittle has not made the bench ?

I think you answered your own question

 

[Sheffsteel]

Wow…..Lowe and Osborne as fullbacks makes us incredibly weak down the flanks. It’s a piss take.

Historically when ever I think we have no chance we pull out a surprise result so I’m scraping the barell but who knows

Still feels like we’re in pre-season experimenting and feeling our way in.

Also when Hecky wax asked about Baldock I’m sure he played it down saying it was nothing. He never reveals anything about injury updates. For all we know Baldock and McBurnie might be out for weeks.

 

[Bell4]

Me looking at the squad for tonight

View attachment 168749

youre very very handsome to be honest

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

So Hecky full of bollocks again about George, saying he just had cramp.

If you listen he didn’t say that, he said Lowe was cramp. He very carefully didn’t mention George

 

[Bladesthorpe]

So Hecky full of bollocks again about George, saying he just had cramp.

Yes he should have phoned Steve Cooper and told him that George was injured FFS.

 

[Lord Eddard Muir]

Not a clu

No idea how Trusty doesn’t start tonight.

Really hope it's an active decision to play JLT against his old club rather than a fitness issue.

JLT notorious at being useless against pace which they have in abundance. Long season ahead

 

[Not_a_Cheat]

We are favourites now after lineup revealed

 

[tyke1889]

Anyone found an IPTV channel yet?

 

[drblade]

Another disappointing line up.

Don't know why Trust doesn't start.

 

[drblade]

Anyone found an IPTV channel yet?

Also looking...

 

[jono_t2000]

A few of us did say no chance Baldock had cramp and was definitely something more serious.. only to get shot down

Wonder where are those people now

 

[VictoryBlade]

Wow…..Lowe and Osborne as fullbacks makes us incredibly weak down the flanks. It’s a piss take.

With our medical team .............probably!

 

[AWetFlannel]

No idea how Trusty doesn’t start tonight.

Is he ready to play? God knows how anyone besides the team would know given that nobody has seen him play a minute for us yet.

 

[Eza Blade]

JLT puts the fear of god in to Johnson and we need some physicality against the big strong lads. Not fair on Trusty either to start him on a pasting.

Let’s get this done Blades ,Nil Nil first point on board

 

[Lower Drop Blade]

To be fair that's a shower of shit line up for Premier League.....but you never know

I dont get it either if you watch the Inside Shirecliffe video McBurnie is training with them including that end bit and he does a great tackle on Norwood so he cant be that far away. They wouldnt let him do that if he was miles away. Bogle was also involved.

Anyone watching on a steam or Firestick tonight please remember to use a VPN..

Police launch crackdown on Premier League illegal streamers

Arsenal are currently top of the Premier League table after winning 14 matches.

That article says "police have identified customers from a database" so I'm not sure how a VPN will help with that?

I'm sorry I really don't understand Hecky, wtf
