Potential banana skin this. Derby are better than their form suggests. 1-1.

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Blades to storm to a victory!

According to my Derby mate the sauqd is decent but they have horrendous injury problems. So their current form is down to injuries i presume

 

[The Crab]

Ref is Steve Martin? He once made a film called The Man with Two Brains.

Today we welcome back the man with no brain, Jack Robinson…

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

It's been nearly 200 days since we won back to back league games.

We're due.

 

[AnstonBlade1]

1-1

 

[Harry's Game]

Usually unhappy with Sky moving games to lunch time but looking at the weather forecast they have probably done us a favour today as the majority of the game will be over before the storm arrives whereas a 3pm would be right in the teeth of it.

Another tight game today either 1-1 or 1-0 either way.

 

[Gin&Juice]

Please don’t be cautious Chrissy. These lot are in a tailspin, be ruthless.

It does seem like a good game for both Donavon and Seriki (if fit enough). Derby are low on confidence we need to exploit that and be ruthless. I know it's a cliche but the first goal will be important, especially for them.

If Donavon and Seriki don't start at least we will have good options off the bench.

Isn’t he injured ?

 

[NerdyBlade]

Every time I feel we make progress, the next team sheet fucks it up

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Isn’t he injured ?

No.

He's just finished filming the new series of Only Murders in the Building.

Let's hope he's not a jerk today.

Let's hope he's not a jerk today.

Or a dirty, rotten scoundrel

Choudhury starts One not in squad? But Seriki back

 

[Klanger]

What the fuck is wrong with Wilder? What does Donovan have to do? He’s our best player

 

[Uganda Blade]

Chris Wilder makes two changes to his XI as the Blades host Derby County in the Sky Bet Championship.

Hamza Choudhury is restored to the side after serving his one-match ban, replacing Mark McGuinness who misses out due to concussion protocols. Patrick Bamford also returns, replacing Jordan Ayew who is on the bench.

Femi Seriki is also back on the bench, returning to the squad for the first time since late August following a knee injury.

Ryan Oné misses out with a reoccurrence of a hamstring issue sustained in training this week.

Kick-off at Bramall Lane is 12.30pm.


Blades: Cooper, Arblaster, Tanganga, Choudhury, Cannon, Burrows, Kitching, Chong, Brereton Díaz, Phillips, Bamford.
Subs: Betts, McCallum, Rothwell, Ayew, Donovan, Campbell, Baptiste, Seriki, Peck.

 

[The Crab]

Isn’t he injured ?

No idea mate, I was just being a shithouse

 

[Guesty]

Or a dirty, rotten scoundrel

Ah, yours is better.

 

[Harry's Game]

One’ injured again..

 

[Maltby_blade]

Another tight game today either 1-1 or 1-0 either way.

So you reckon we might win lose or draw?, you could be on to something there.

 

[ben1987]

Fuck me fucking Choudhury

 

[Snowflake]

What the fuck is wrong with Wilder? What does Donovan have to do? He’s our best player

Best player ? I don’t think so. He is talented and will probably be a really good player, but at present makes too many wrong decisions.
Using him as a sub whilst he learns his trade seems fine to me.

 

[vas borbokis]

Oné is built like a tank yet always injured. Go figure? Love to see him progress here.

 

[jt64]

Yet at the same time, if you looked at some of the electricians, sorry, footballers, that we have out on loan, you'd be furious if they were only getting ten minutes here and there. People on here keep telling me that "men's football" is a different game to football, and he's not going to learn it getting splinters on his arse.

Ah, one of the Wilder cult I assume, getting 2 minutes is not helping him learn his trade and if making wrong decisions is him running at defenders then bring it on

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Shame for One but that's why injured players are eased back in hopefully it's nothing too serious

 

[Esteban Cambiasso]

Choudhury straight back in despite his brain dead sending off last time he played, let's hope derby haven't got anyone half decent down that side
