First

 

[themaninblack]

Really looking forward to this; just got to England and heading up to Sheffield with the family. Few beers before the match tomorrow and then BDTBL, hoping that the lads can put in a performance. Bring it on!

 

[Argentinemanager]

On saturday id decided i wasnt going, but its amazing what a bit of time does. So ill be there hoping burnley have lost and we put a full throttle performance in and even if 1 or 2 up still go hell for leather to get more. We need to learn how to punish teams as we havent all season and the cautious stuff will come and bite us on the arse

 

[BangorBlade]

Would like to see a 442 or 352 formation,
with Campbell & Brewster/Moore up front.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Need 4 wins out of 4 to get confidence for the playoffs. Let's be real, we're heading for the playoffs. However expecting another slow game giving Cardiff a fair chance to get a result. Having dominated a game all season, why start now!!!

 

[AnstonBlade1]

Defeats keep coming 0-1

 

[sheff_blade90]

for those that still believes all credit to you, because for me for me it done, like the dead parrot sketch from monty python & we need a miracle for automatic promotion. akin to liverpool in istanbul. because realistically leeds & burnley need 92pts. so i don't know where leeds are going to crack. because you need pressure for that & both sides couldn't be anymore comfortable, because they can afford to lose. both would only need 1 win of there next 4

at least 1 positive. is we have 4 games now to get out of this run & refind some form, like we saw in home games v leeds & Coventry be ready for our next important game on 8th may because at the moment this lerfagicness with the tempo of walking football & only showing the urgency when its too late. is going to get us no where

 

[North Riding Blade]

I see the usual happy positive crew are out early on this one. There was a post last week asking Foxy if we could have a thread just for the miserable, negative whiners on the forum. We have one. Its the matchday thread.

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

Probably draw tomorrow but god knows what atmosphere is gonna be like, the last week or so has knocked the stuffing and belief out of fans

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Routine 4 nowt this

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

Routine 4 nowt this

Last time we scored 4 was when we drew 3-3 to Fulham

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Last time we scored 4 was when we drew 3-3 to Fulham

I remember that one it was when Leon bagged all four goals.

 

[Nick Jansky]

If this isn’t our biggest win of the season the lot’s going up.

 

[CambridgeBlade]

Could be ok if Burnley lose

 

[jono_t2000]

Think we'll win comfortably but I don't think it will mean alot.

Cardiff are in more disarray than Oxford and even Plymouth right now.

Too little, too late imho.

 

[Not so Slim ane]

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened

 

[robbiez666]

We win all 4 games and Burnley lose 2 games were up.

Leeds and Burnley will drop points.

Can see us spanking Cardiff. I'll go 5:0

Still all to play for

 

[AnstonBlade1]

We’re not scoring 5 in next 4 matches

I can see 1 0 Cardiff as a result of baffling team selection and substitutions by Wilder like last week

Don't be surprised to see Brewster and/or Cannon starting

 

[bibbity bobbity boo]

I remember that one it was when Leon bagged all four goals.

How could Leon score all 4 goals in a 3-3 draw?

 

[utd4ever]

We will go 1-0 up early on. Excitement will build for good thrashing. Wilder will do his “ tighten up and go defensive”

We will draw 1-1.

Wilder will kick off at Cardiff players and blame fans.

It's Brewster's turn

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Fantastic opponents today that goes without saying but we know how to win games of football nobody else wins games of football quite like we win games of football apart from of course when we abjectly don't win games of football so we have to believe we have a very good chance of winning this game of football even though it will be incredibly incredibly difficult against a top manager

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

Listen a few weeks ago I said possession doesn’t matter because we were winning games of football. It does now. We had 70% at Plymouth! We lost but we passed it sideways a lot.

 

[Nick Jansky]

This is the thing, isn’t it. Wilder & his apologists were banging on all season about winning football matches being the only metric that counts until suddenly we aren’t, and the reverse ferret we have seen in the last week has been astonishing. How many times did he say “70%” in the presser?

 

[FriethBlade]

It's Brewster's turn

Let's look like we mean to win against a relegation threatened team and play Campbell and Moore up front, Peck and Hamer CMs, Rak Saki and Brooks out wide, back four Seriki Anel Holding Burrows

And breathe!!!

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

If we win this I'll just be more pissed off than I currently am now.

Especially if Burnley and/or Leeds drop points.

Its the day of the Brewster. Hatrick incoming
