Baldock??

[Boxer Blade]

Sunjihi said Osula would start didn't he?

 

[Colombia Blade]

So something like this...?

----------------Wes----------------

--Bogle---Anel--Trusty--Robbo---

-----Hamer--Souza---Brooks-----

----McAtee--Osula---Archer------

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

4-4-2 with JLT at left back?

Brooks and Macca on the wings possibly

 

[jt64]

4-whatever seems suicidal, can only assume it is a five with someone way out of position at LWB

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Anel Ahmedhodžić will wear the captain's armband tonight

 

[biggiesablade]

Anel Ahmedhodžić will wear the captain's armband tonight

I'd have given it to Robbo

 

[FriethBlade]

Chris Wilder

The sort of line-up most of us have been wanting. If nothing else it's got some legs in it and he's playing players who hopefully will be the nucleus of the side next season

 

[metalblade]

Well good start with the line up

 

[Aston max]

I'd have given it to Robbo

Sometimes you give it as a boost for someone's moral, JLT is a natural leader doesn't need the piece of cloth bit like Baldock

 

[biggiesablade]

That's some serious sense you just spoke

 

[Not so Slim ane]

Although this is something i’ve just seen, Brooks at left wing back???View attachment 175789

Very attacking line up... pity we won't have the ball and hardly any of them can tackle... Wes will be very busy tonight

 

[ATL Recs]

Sunjihi said Osula would start didn't he?

I think anyone with half a brain would say Osula starting

 

[Mesut Özil's Lawnmower]

This, when Wilder came in originally I think some were surprised he immediately made Sharp captain but what a decision it was

Could be the turning point for Anel this season, brand new manager putting as much confidence in you as possible

 

[Wireblade]

Anel Ahmedhodžić will wear the captain's armband tonight

Man management trying to get the best out of him I think. Hope it works

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Billy Sharp on side of pitch tonight with Steve McManaman with Amazon Prime match reporter. GOOD to see Billy back @ BDTBL

 

[HarryHaslam]

Really looking forward to Osula, gonna be a top top player.

 

[Mesut Özil's Lawnmower]

Billy Sharp on side of pitch tonight with Steve McManaman with Amazon Prime match reporter. GOOD to see Billy back @ BDTBL

Would not be surprised to see him back in the squad in January, big boost for the changing room, also proved in the MLS he’s still got the goals in him

 

[Toronto Blade]

Andrews being an ex midfielder will keep an eye on that midfield and want to improve it in January if funds allow. Need younger legs in there Norwood 33 in April and Fleck 33 in August.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Something so weird about seeing Wilder there at the lane in a blades get up. It was like the last 3 and a half years were all a weird dream...Wuhan? What's that?

 

[petcharlie]

may be trusty at left back

 

[Half Bond Jls]

Call me weird but I've not looked forward to a game for ages till tonight. COYRAAW.

 

[Foxy]

Baldock??

Been for a cheeky prematch Nando’s with 3 others.

Arguably, McCall was a better midfielder.

 

[CornwallBlade]

I don’t care about the result- I just want us to go at them, get the crowd loud and dropping Norwood is a great start. I’ve made my feelings known about Wilder but, I’ m a Blade - c’mon boys give em hell!

 

[Chimpan-A]

Are they going to put those big flame machines on the side of the pitch for atmosphere... I hope so!

If they aim them at the Liverpool players we might have a chance!

 

[Sheffsteel]

Well good start with the line up

Agree….at least it’s brave and that what we need. Instantly dropping the captain let’s all the players know who is the boss.

Norwood has been our main player for years but some have controversially said he’s part of the problem this season and being honest the midfield simply doesn’t function, we needed major changes.

At least we’ll find out a little tonight.

 

[Tickhill Blade]

Always nice to have 3 left backs on the bench

 

[Ned the Donkey]

1-0. With a goal from the Alan Knill Encyclopedia of Free Kicks, specifically Number 143(b).

 

[Toronto Blade]

Arguably, McCall was a better midfielder.

He was happy with a grandad midfield though ,unless Hecky didn't listen to him
