[JT89]

He must be shit with directions if he was driving over an hour on the snake pass every day to get from WestOne on Fitzwilliam Street to Shirecliffe

[Geordie Blade]

Blimey. 442.

First time we’ve started 442 since Slav?

 

[JT89]

Back 4...

 

[Large Mendonca]

Fucking hell

Don't think it's 4-4-2 with Mcatee playing...

more likely 4-3-2-1 will Archer or Mcb playing deeper.

 

[straight_outta_compton]

Needs must with a back 4. Hopefully this will give us an extra man in midfield to slow the man ure traffic through the middle.

 

[John Cutsbushes]

What the fuck up with Anel.
What a fucking joke.

 

[ATL Recs]

442 not though due to tactical genius but only 2 fit centre half’s ffs

 

[United Aren't Back.]

If Kean Bryan and Oli Burke won it, so can we tonight.

No way Norwood is that far forward...he'll be sat 5 yards in front of our defence as usual!

 

[ATL Recs]

What the fuck up with Anel.
What a fucking joke.

Absolutely it’s fucking embarrassing

 

[KenT]

I can feel it in me watter

 

[JT89]

Don't think it's 4-4-2 with Mcatee playing...

more likely 4-3-2-1 will Archer or Mcb playing deeper.

Could be... 4-2-3-1

Bogle Trusty Robinson Thomas
Norwood Souza
Archer Hamer McAtee
McBurnie

 

[BalticBlade]

I think we're going to get annihilated. Absolute state of that bench. Late, enforced formation change due to Anel's injury

 

[Berkshire Blade]

One to become the new jebbo

 

[straight_outta_compton]

Give archer 60 mins to run his race, then get brewdog on for last half hour (+ usual 10 mins of added time, or 20 if man utd are losing!)

 

[bakeblade]

What the fuck up with Anel.
What a fucking joke.

Must be another training ground injury, beyond a joke now

 

[CoatesyBlade]

Well the board never took this season seriously so why should we?! Joke club!
That being said… I’ve got my 91 shirt on and it’s giving me good vibes

 

[Pintor75]

Can't go tonight due to ankle injury, good luck to the lads, lets hope things start improving, UTB

 

[Klaatu Barada Nikto]

Remember that match against Man U the relegation season where we were supposed to get battered and Jags pulled off a heroic performance for us to win against the odds?

Probably not going to happen tonight

 

[Foxy]

Can't go tonight due to ankle injury, good luck to the lads, lets hope things start improving, UTB

Which Blades player are you?!

 

[Lightsoot]

Larouchi injured too along with Anel? Shame as I’d have benched Thomas.

I’m still not convinced Hecky will go with a back 4. Got a gut feeling he’ll drop Souza back into defence given he’s started with McBurnie & Archer. Seems like the midfield will be Norwood, Hamer & McAtee.

Hecky’s a creature of habit.

 

[Luke1993]

Vini can play CB, I don't think he will though. Think it will be
Bogle trusty JLT Thomas
Vini Norwood
Hamer mcatee archer
Mcburnie

Archer played a lot from the left at Boro so he can do it, plus man u won't be attacking down their right with lindelof, he will stay back and form a back 3 with dalot getting forward from left back.

All in all, 0-3. Hope I'm wrong but can't see anything else. We might need to recall freckleton at this rate.

 

[Lowen]

There is no way we can play a diamond midfield against their wingers.

 

[ATL Recs]

Must be another training ground injury, beyond a joke now

We’ve been saying that for 2 years

 

[bonobo]

Could be... 4-2-3-1

Bogle Trusty Robinson Thomas
Norwood Souza
Archer Hamer McAtee
McBurnie

I hope it this. ( but a mall part of me wonders if its still a back 3 with Souza on the right)
