Goldy will be holding it up for nobody, Burke racing to by-line to centre to nobody.

Nobody?? Is he the new left centre back

 

[Harry's Game]

If we keep the deficit to below 4 in this we will have dodged a bullet,

 

[LJBlade]

I'm now convinced that Wilder is just pulling names out of a hat!

Who would you have gone with?

 

[Harry's Game]

I am staggered we have gone with that same midfield three again.

 

[Wincobank S9 Blade]

£33 million striking talent on the bench. Not much point bringing them on when we're 3.0 down. I was hoping for some fresh thinking tonight from CW, a roll of the dice.

I thought that unless their not match fit McGoldrick and Burke I’m not sure are clinical enough but I’d love to be proved wrong

 

[Chris the Blade]

Keeps playing Berge out of position. Baffling

 

[John Street Bar]

So glad Man Utd have decided to rest their best players.

No Phil Jones!!

Hang on a minute this is the new McGoldrick top scorer this season, already raced up to 2 goals in his pursuit of the golden boot (but seriously he's the best we have at the moment).

 

[Camden Blade]

I think McGoldrick should play behind Brewster and one of burke/mousset. Play 2 from Bash/Robinson/Ampadu but not all three.

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Glad i'm not watching that

 

[8lade]

xG 0.8 goals 2 the kids on fire!

 

[8lade]

Just had a premonition first goal Basham.

 

[Barry Butlin]

That midfield is a huge worry

 

[blades14]

abysmal line up. No lunny is disgraceful. not sure what osborn has to do to get a game as he is 100 times better than stevens and has been for months. Ampadu is going to get bullied and brewster must be wondering why he ever left

 

[Lawrence]

United manager Chris Wilder makes three changes for tonight’s home game against Man Utd. Oli McBurnie misses out with injury.

Hay! I’ve been saying why doesn’t CW play the obvious and natural Robinson replacement for the injury hit back three? To be honest CW tried everyone else so finally he plays a central defender? unfortunately we are against Man Utd who will play it on the deck so not sure today, I might be proved wrong? but we have his long throw! but Mcburnie isn’t in the team (I give in) + Ampadu in midfield

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

That midfield is a huge worry

Matic, Pogba; Greenwood, Fernandes, Rashford ?

Ampadu vs Fernandes

We need some goals and aggression. Both Lunny and Norwood can be hit or miss, but Lunny has goals in him. Yeah and Ozzy will drive it forward, I'd have liked to have seen him too.

 

[originaltrueblade]

Not looking forward to this FFS

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

I thought that unless their not match fit McGoldrick and Burke I’m not sure are clinical enough but I’d love to be proved wrong

I thought that , but McG is 3x as clinical as anybody in the whole team.......

 

[Upton_Blade]

Arguably our best performance of the season was away at the bin dippers. Not quite sure why CW doesn't try and get as close to that lineup as possible and stick with it for a few games.

 

[blades14]

Its going to be a demolition. We're not going to pick up points with wilder managing. he's not going to change therefore our position wont

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

No lunny is disgraceful

Are you Lunny's mum?

 

[robbiez666]

6-1 Burke hattrick

 

[cc1]

Just got a weird feeling we might nick it tonight, 6-0.YHIHF

 

[Davalon]

I know JOC and McBurnie are out but it is disconcerting how disjointed our team looks after spending so much money by our standards

 

[metalblade]

Get Burke playing around Maguire play on the deck and we will score pace terrifies old Harry. All we need then is a blunder from Hendo and Ramsdale to have a stormer.

 

[YES Blade]

I've got a massive feeling of dread, I just wish they could kick off now and get this over and done with.

 

[blades14]

Are you Lunny's mum?

wierdo

 

[Montymagic]

Well I guess I might record the game and send it into you're been framed for a few quid afterwards, spend all the money on drugs ready for the next comedy beating.

Hope to god I don't though.
