That’s without doubt the weakest 11 anyone in the Premier League will put out this weekend.

Championship side wrote all over it.

 

[Dnblade]

Big chance for the new and fringe players to impress.. We need a big performance from Berge in that Norwood role and hopefully McG will hit some form.

 

[Wards]

Some of you lot are such fanny holes. A Wilder team will always be greater than the sum of its parts so maybe try getting behind them instead of writing them off so quickly.

Not ideal prep losing JOC and Egan but what an opportunity for Ampadu and Robinson.

 

[Terry Starlight]

Haven't even kicked off yet and judging from these comments we'll be playing in the championship next season.

Come on FFS blades!

 

[Mesut Özil's Lawnmower]

All things considered, I don't hate the lineup, what else are we meant to do with no Fleck Egs or JOC?

I reckon we can keep a clean sheet and hit em on the break, probably our best hope today

Weirder things have happened than us potentially winning this game

 

[Bladesman98]

Let’s have these

 

[Wards]

Plus Hernandez is out for them, that’s surely a plus point.

 

[Netsix_and_chill]

Glad I wasn't in the trenches with some of you bedwetters and undercover agents. It is what it is, not ideal but in CWAK we trust. UTB

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

I'm feeling confident.

Blades 3-1 Leeds

 

[Dnblade]

Hopefully they'll overplay when playing out from the back like v Liverpool.. I lost count of the amount of times they gave the ball away when trying to play through Liverpool's press.

 

[Bladesman98]

A ‘Basham arriving’ repeat today please

 

[Ranmoorblade]

Could you imagine some of our fans in World War Two? We’d have waved the white flag on day one.

 

[Revolution]

Could you imagine some of our fans in World War Two? We’d have waved the white flag on day one. ⚔

do you go into every game thinking we will win?

 

[Melbourne Blade]

Is All of the Lights by Kanye the new entrance music or just on in the background before they walk out? Either way it's shexy.

 

[CW7]

do you go into every game thinking we will win?

I go into any game thinking that we have a chance to win.

 

[Lawrence]

I go into any game thinking that we have a chance to win.

I can’t see a win today

 

[CW7]

I can’t see a win today ☹

I understand that. Especially when we have experimented with the lineup. Only basham of the centrebacks remains. Leeds will push us balls to the walls, but if we can just fight our way through them, I think we have a chance! We just need to take the opportunities we are given.

 

[McGoaldrick]

What a ball from Burke again

 

[toledo]

Are we the home side or the away side?

 

[Karlos]

Im with Lawrence. Hope I'm wrong but can't see it today. Have to start hitting the back of the net soon . Think we should be better in the middle of the field but I worry about up top and now at the back after the JoC news.

 

[Tynemouth Blade]

We've settled well but I can't see any attacking threat from us!

 

[Ranmoorblade]

do you go into every game thinking we will win?

I always think it’s a possibility, I don’t throw in the towel if we have a few players out.

 

[Bobby b]

Gareth southgate must have utd season ticket

 

[The Hobott]

With Norwood we have a little bit possession without him we have none

 

[Wards]

We were never going to dominate possession against this lot due to their pressing. More important is using it well when we do get it cos there will be gaps to exploit.

 

[essyoueffsee]

Shocking atmosphere for a derby this

 

[CW7]

Shocking atmosphere for a derby this

The fans make no noise!

 

[Yogi]

First 20 mins don’t concede now we’re now getting more expansive

 

[FriethBlade]

Watching this im still thinking we need an attacking midfielder who can run with the ball just as much as a centre forward

 

[McGoaldrick]

McManaman doesn't have a clue does he, just referred to Ampadu and J Robinson as ‘towering centre halves’ - anything to fit the physical long ball team narrative
