Point tomaro 4th bottom 3pts be fantastic utb

 

[Boxer Blade]

Ampadu needs to be starting

 

[wavy-blade]

As long as Brewster starts we will win , but we need to cross more to create the chances , its no good getting in crossing positions and trying tippy tappy football or passing back , if there's a lose ball in the area and it falls to Brewster he will shoot !

Deffo. You don't buy a Ferrari and keep it in the garage.

Deffo. You don't buy a Ferrari and keep it in the garage.

You probably do, most of the time. Nobody wants a Ferrari with 130k on the clock.

If you can afford a Ferrari miles on the clock ain't an issue.

 

[Balham]

If you can afford a Ferrari miles on the clock ain't an issue.

Judging the general Ferrari driver down here and out into north Surrey miles on the clock is definitely an issue. 80% of them will need a little blue pill.

Why? Does the pill enhance fuel economy?

I'm told it enables performance

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

From Yorkshire live - Jack O'Connell and Lys Mousset are definitely out, while manager Chris Wilder has doubts over the availability of John Fleck, John Egan, David McGoldrick and Oliver Burke.

 

[JPSharpy93]

Rammers

Bash
Egan
Stephens

Baldock
Berge
Norwood
Fleck
Lowe

Brewster
Mcburnie

I’m favouring Mcburnie over others because i think his defensive contribution is important against Mitrovic. Not seen enough of Ampadu as a defensive midfielder to trust him over Norwood. I’m sick to death of watching Lundstram squander chances so it’s Berge back on the right.

Burke, Ampadu, Osborn, Lundstram give us decent options off the bench. If Egan has to sit this one out then this line up would need a lot of changes.

Blades to win 2-0, Brewster at the double.

Sounds like Fleck & McGoldrick could be out for a while.

 

[JPSharpy93]

A real blow, really takes out a lot of our creativity without those two. Hope our wing back have been watching Matty Cash so far this season and can start offering the strikers some decent service.

 

[DifferentClass]

Sounds like Fleck & McGoldrick could be out for a while.

As I said in the shoutbox, the bloke who told me Fleck needs an op generally talks complete bollocks. Strained back fucking kills but it's not long term.

As for McGoldrick, I think Burke and Brewster up front would be more than adequate cover.

 

[FTPE]

I'd use Ampadu as the holding midfielder, but i understand those who wouldn't just yet.

I like the idea of McBurnie and Brewster as a partnership but Burke not only presses their defence at 100mph but he keeps their entire team 4 or 5 yards further back. Oli adds a lot defensively and another dimension going forward but we HAVE TO start fast and well today.

 

[bladesmanluke]

If we've lost Fleck and McGoldrick for a while on top of O'Connell already that's curtains I fear

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Last time out (4th October 2020) was the first time in 33 years that Manchester United, Liverpool and Sheffield United all lost a league match on the same day.

Arsenal 2-1 Sheffield United
Manchester United 1-6 Tottenham
Aston Villa 7-2 Liverpool

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Would love to see the viewing figures for a game between the bottom two clubs. Can’t see many neutrals stumping up the money for this one. Going on crowd sizes alone at both clubs, there should be at the very least 56,000 people tuning in. Don’t think it will even come close.

 

[KeyffSmyff]

I would not say curtains but difficult yes. It is not as though we have conceded 6 or 7 in a game.

RAMMED
BASH EGAN AMPADU
BALDOCK. LOWE
NORWOOD. BURGE. OSBOURNE
MCBURNIE. BREWSTER

COYRAWW!

I agree.
Its not my preferred team ( back, midfield or up top) but I think thats todays starting 11.

2-0

 

[Carlton Blade]

It's going to be

Ramsdale
Baldock Bash Egan Robinson Stevens
Lundstram Berge Osborn
Sharp McBurnie

And we'll be 0-2 down at half time.

The we'll be forced into attacking changes and who knows from then

25/1 for Fulham to be winning 0-2 at HT.

Put yer brass wea yer gob is!

If I backed up all the nonsense I talk with bets I'd be even poorer than I already am

Whats the odds for KMac coming on and scoring the 1 - 0 winner with his backside in the 95th minute - snatching defeat from victory its what we do - UTB

 

[Gozza]

My predictions for today. Would appreciate any feedback, thanks.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

100/1 for Kevin McDonald 0-1 scorecast.

 

[robbiez666]

I'd be surprised if Brewster starts given his lack of football.

Which probably means McBurnie and Sharp as everyone else is injured.
