Baldock back in full training, finally we might actually get one of the fallen many back for once! Would be a huge boost.

"On the grass" is the technical term.

 

[Micky Narker]

This lot are worse than Hull away. 1-0 United.

[PeterNdlovu081]

Middlesbrough have had a man sent off in their two most recent visits to Bramall Lane.

Leadbitter in 2018 and Ayala in 2019.

 

[robbiez666]

I said I'd be happy with 2 points from Boro and Forest and nothing has changed. A draw is a good result here.

 

[LudlamBlade]

Jebbo starting, 2-1 United ⚔

 

[originaltrueblade]

What’s the ref like because the last few have been dog shite

 

[Ecco1889]

Just had a look at ticket sales for tonight,will most likely hit 30000 for the 1st time this season

Why did I think this game was tomorrow?

Why did I think this game was tomorrow?

Thick as pig shit?

 

[SUFC Handsworth]

My team for tonight:-
Wes
Baldock-Davies-Egan-Robinson-RND
Norwood-Hourihane
MGW-Ndiye
Sharp

RND keeps his spot for his height at set plays over Osbourne. From Hecky's comments don't think Osbourne is quite ready to start now anyhow.

 

[originaltrueblade]

Let’s send Wilder home crying in his Peroni

 

[Dynamo Kev]

good luck for the game tonight blades, our away form is shocking, hopefully we will put in a performance, i expect we will tbh. so should be a great game with two footballing sides. may the best team win.

 

[St Albans Blade]

And so, finally, the big one! Sorcerer v Apprentice.

Hecky's opportunity to lay down a marker for both the team and his own development against a capable squad and manager.





We could be up to 4th or down to 9th by the end of the evening!!

UTB

 

[sheff_blade90]

more i think about this game, i think its massive come may, as looking at form table & our run in. i think today could decided who comes 4th with play off home advantage. because we both in similar form. & middlesboro having some fantastic results in the cup

but the only thing that worries me is that this is wilder formation with his players & albeit adapted his system. if anyone knows how to stop us it him

 

[adamawdhali]

I wonder if seriki will start again. Not seen baldock in any pictures so far and have seen seriki is there. Would personally play osborn but hecky was talking about not wanting to rush people back and have them out for the season in his pre match

 

[Swannyblade]

It’s important not to lose this one - last thing we need is a stigma to develop around Boro and the Wilder factor, especially given they could very well be a play off opponent

[Belvedere Blade]

Team v Boro

 

[William Large]

Hope I’m wrong but i think it’s a mistake fleck starting over hourihane.
Sander needs to show his form from a couple of games ago and dominate the top third.

 

[robbiez666]

5 left-footers on the pitch. 4 of our back 5!

Oh man, this could be a long night

 

[Nedski]

I hope Sander and MGW are both just behind Billy, almost in a front 3, and Sander isn't back with Ollie and Fleck

 

[William Large]

If there were only one left footer would we say the same? Good to see ozzy start even though I have been one of his biggest critics.

Big night for MGW also. Hope he is on it like he was in the last 20 against forest. Stop the daft flicks in the middle of the park that are never going to achieve anything. Him and Berge being direct and running at defenders worries them.

 

[robbiez666]

If there were only one left footer would we say the same? Good to see ozzy start even though I have been one of his biggest critics.

Yes, it's hardly ideal, although I can see the logic after last game.

 

[William Large]

True and as good as Ozzy was on Friday, he did look a little uncomfortable at times when pushing forward.

 

[originaltrueblade]

One blessing McBurnie ain’t starting

 

[McGoaldrick]

God what a shocking side

 

[JT89]

5 left-footers on the pitch. 4 of our back 5!

Oh man, this could be a long night

There's 6, not 5.
