Maybe McAtee is carrying a knock......unless you are part of the inner circle you can never know all the reasons. Considering we are 2nd I think I will go with Hecky on this one.

He's been playing with a slight injury for a while. Hecky has been having to manage his playing time quite closely

 

[robbiez666]

Fleck to get some minutes in as he starts Saturday?

Assume it's this. Makes sense imo.

This doesn't make sense to me. He has been getting minutes off the bench the last few games. I presume he'll not be up for two 90 minutes in 5 days.

 

[nezimão]

Scott's on the bench.

that, i believe, is positive for us.

hecky of course wouldn’t have known that prior to submitting his own selection.

 

[AWetFlannel]

This doesn't make sense to me. He has been getting minutes off the bench the last few games. I presume he'll not be up for two 90 minutes in 5 days.

Building up the minutes, an hour tonight and 70 or 80 at Wembley.

 

[blade too long]

4 - After tonight, our run of fixtures are not favourable for a team desperate for wins

really

west brom and preston h and birningham and huddersfield away

are all eminently winnable won 2-0 at both west brom and preston
not lost to any of them in the corresponding fixtures
doubt if brum or huddersfield will have much at stake by then birminghams safe huddersfield heading that way

Match not on SUTV ?

 

[SB_90]

no surprise bogle has been dropped after Saturday when he was very dodgy & error prone

very exited for tonight, i have feel with the respective run ins for luton & Middlesbrough. that if we can win tonight & it wont be mathematically secured, but realistically, we will be knocking on the door & ringing the doorbell of the Premier league

 

[GlosBlade]

Match not on SUTV ?

Same problem for me, no match centre or watch live option…..hopefully it appears before kick off

EDIT Fixed it, clicked on link in the confirmation email and logged in again, now got the stresm

 

[skyjam]

Got it now

 

[drblade]

This game is way more important than Saturday so don’t understand why Fleck starts unless McAtee is carrying a knock.

Come on Blades

 

[HarryHaslam]

But with Eddie Colquhoun


Loud and proud there Blades fans

This game is way more important than Saturday so don’t understand why Fleck starts unless McAtee is carrying a knock.

Come on Blades

Would imagine he needs game time before Saturday. Only reason I can think of.

 

[drblade]

When are we going to start playing then?

 

[Innuendoandouttheother]

Poor start. We need to up our game big time.

 

[Headshrinker]

Poor first 15 minutes, they are looking more likely to score.

A lot of long balls and lack of possession.

 

[drblade]

Would imagine he needs game time before Saturday. Only reason I can think of.

Yeah. Still more important that we win this game though. Midfield is getting bypassed atm

 

[Chilttheblade]

Match on talksport 2

 

[Seun]

This partnership of McBurnie and Ndiaye just doesn't work. McBurnie isn't mobile enough to cause their lot any problems, and we are very predictable in attack.

I would much rather a front three...maybe with Bogle at RW

 

[Bobby b]

We haven't started here yet, wed better start soon because these are looking dangerous

 

[Toronto Blade fan]

I wonder if it's just coincidence or not but Fleck starting and the midfield now not performing.....

 

[paidsy]

Absolutely nothing in the midfield here.

 

[JayGreen17]

This is dire…..

 

[1970firstmatch]

Fleck is running in treacle

 

[JayGreen17]

Taken away 50% of out creatively and goal threat with not starting Macca, utter madness……

 

[Jan Age]

A lot wrong with this performance

No energy
Lack of awareness
No closing down
No second balls

And Mcburnie is pure wank

 

[drblade]

Taken away 50% of out creatively and goal threat with not starting Macca, utter madness……

This

 

[1970firstmatch]

I wonder if City have it a restriction on Maccas starts. Fleck over Macca makes no sense

 

[JayGreen17]

I have a feeling Hecky is gonna regret this decision……

 

[The Hecky Flecky Shake]

McBurnie has been just getting in the way more than anything else in this match. Missing McAtee big time.

 

[originaltrueblade]

Get Fleck off
