We all know it's coming.

[Not so Slim ane]

Going to be a low attendance this one, Tuesday night and on TV. At least they've made it's category b game

Expecting (hoping) for a reaction.

Gotta capitalize on our home games, and only lost 2 on the bounce once this season (Leeds & Boro)

However even a draw at home may not be enough, need to really take no prisoners and get that confidence back with a statement win.

 

[Champagneblade]

Got me thinking about this scene from Rocky 2

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

Just beat them

 

[Argentinemanager]

Crock cooper for them early doors and we may hang on for a 0-0. But really we need to fly out of the traps because were at shit or bust time , play moore to help out defensively and ohare for his pressing

 

[Harry's Game]

Draw 1-1

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

Tanganga to show why we should’ve just paid the fee tonight. 0-2.

He may be out, broke a bone in his hand

 

[Greystones Blade]

Wilder should make sure that if he plays all our players shake / squeeze his hand in the introducing the players bit.

They're due a loss based on recent patterns.

Results in their last 7 league games:

Feb 22nd - Derby (A) - Won 1-0
March 4th - Bristol C (H) - Lost 0-2
March 8th - Watford (A) - Won 2-1
March 12th - Leeds (A) - Lost 0-2
March 15th - Stoke (H) - Won 1-0
March 29th - Sunderland (A) - Lost 1-0
April 5th - Portsmouth (H) - Won 2-1

So tonight, is their turn to lose. Simple

In all seriousness, an opportunity to put Saturday behind us. I wasn't hugely impressed by these in the reverse fixture - their best player has since left for Palace, and one of our nearest rivals was able to beat them in a recent fixture. Absolutely a game we should be looking to win.

Get Holding some minutes I reckon - see if he can help make us more secure in the air. Wouldn't necessarily want to make wholesale changes as far as the team goes - just make sure we up the urgency. Too often we've played games at a canter, when we could be much more certain of success if we attacked similarly to the Coventry game. Even if they allow us possession, just faster movement of the ball, and better movement off the ball, will unsettle their defence and create openings. If we play like we did on Sat, I still think we'll win, it will just be a more frustrating evening.

 

[Costhorpeblade]

An absolute must win

 

[Selly]

Right Blades - lets get out there and stuff them, and then hopefully I can switch over to the Leeds games and watch them drop points against Boro.

 

[FTPE]

Start fast, don't get to half time or god forbid 60min and need a goal or 2, the ground will go into meltdown.

It’s getting a bit close with Anel and possibly Robbo, not to mention Hamer.

It might not be a bad thing to rotate Holding in there a bit a. To reduce the chances of the other two being suspended and b. Getting some game time just in case they do.

 

[Pintor75]

Let's get back on track after Saturday, lets go 433 sod "They're a dangerous team", "gonna be a tight game" etc, release the shackles Wilder!
Cooper
Seriki, Anel, Robbo, Burrows
Hamer, Peck, Souza
Diaz, Campbell, OHare

Don’t get to half time *10 minutes and need a goal, the ground *shoutbox will go into meltdown…

 

[DifferentClass]

Show absolutely no mercy.

Holding instead of Robinson.
Souza instead of Choudhury.
Ohare instead of Brereton Diaz.
Up and at them from the start, fast flowing, Attacking from the start.
Don't give the opposition a minute.
An early goal will be great.
UP THE BLADES.

Brewster also has to come out of the team, he's got a couple of goals lately but he's a complete passenger for 85 minutes of every game

 

[sheff_blade90]

today is must win, as we knew could likely afford 2 defeats & still go up. but the safety net we had went at oxford knowing that we still have burnley away to come. but as frustrating as the defeat was we came into that game needing 4 wins & a draw.

so picture hasnt changed as we still need 4 wins & a draw. in the same way that with the old away goal rule. if you lost 1st leg away 3-2. you know you need to score 2 goals to progress. so going 1-0 changes nothing

i think we will win tonight, we all always bounced back well from our setbacks & we always play some of our best football at home.

I think you are overlooking some of Brewster’s work on and off the ball.

Very surprised, but Souza didn't look fit to me at Oxford.

Unchanged team? That's ridiculous

 

[drblade]

Agree, Vini looked miles off it
