[Lowen]

Brooks seems like such an obvious answer to the left wing position and he just doesn’t play, maybe he doesn’t want to start both his ‘right wingers’ at the same time because of squad management but Brooks should be in the team and in that position because he is the answer from the squad as it is.

 

[nickwr37]

Team to start.

 

[MiserableBlader]

It’s difficult to look forward to this game other than with the presumption that ‘Things can only get better’
But perhaps I can DReam on.

We seem to be operating with a head two with the persona of the Laurel and Hardy characters
ie a blank looking dimwit obvious to what is going on at all and a fat pretentious bullying halfwit with what are laughingly called tactics’ designed by the Chuckle Brothers with team substitutions written by Fred Basset on the back of a fag packet – times and all.
I am looking forward to lip reading the 4th official saying ‘you haven’t got a Benson or a Hedges on the subs bench’

Incidentally – a should be win today (despite the heritage in the Prem League our mighty opponents have giving them enormous advantage over poor heroic Chris Wilder) and we are back to 2 points a game average and automatic promotion.

Now tell me this is NOT a shit league, largely because of imbecilic tactics by almost all these F***wit managers.

 

[Uganda Blade]

BBC has it as 4-4-1-1 with O'Hare left wing and Campbell behind Moore

Your TV needs tuning in.

Good to see Burrows starting again. McCallum and RND are solid LB's, but Burrows is just better.

Hamer not even on the bench? Hopefully just precaution.

Edit: Forgot Hamer's suspended...

Suspended after Boro match.

Wilder does NOT do our young players.
Obvious from day 1 of his setting foot here.
That is why I said he is the WORST manager we could have appointed. Ironically going from one of the best.
Journeyman manager likes journey man players as they should know what they are doing.
Plus can blame them 'for not following his instructions' when things go wrong and are happy to take criticism for a wage.

 

[VonBrysonsExpress]

One on the bench, perhaps due to gaps but be interesting if he gets any minutes.

[Cappy]

They’re practicing shooting, in formation. O’Hare is playing LW. Campbell up front

 

[Shawy24]

What is his objection to playing Rak Saki and Brooksy in the same team?

 

[FTPE]

I like that, there's more space out wide to beat men for COH and whilst Campbell does play slightly wider than a 9, he's far more of a striker than Hamer and Callum

 

[JayGreen17]

Can’t see us scoring, drought continues, if they score first they’ll win.. 0-1 Stroke.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

What is his objection to playing Rak Saki and Brooksy in the same team?

Like Manure of the late 70's had Coppell and Hill on either wing. They tire up the Div 2, as it was then, and Div 1 once they were promoted. Come on Chris, you know it makes sense

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Get in keiffer lad

 

[BouncinBlade]

Stuck at work...Decent goal?

 

[William Carey]

Was it a good goal? How was it scored?

 

[Tom Bott]

As Faithless said I Want Moore.

 

[SLB]

Stuck at work...Decent goal?

Gilchrist shot, hit Moore and went in.

 

[utd4ever]

Can’t believe Sander Berge ended up at Stoke

 

[Danetheblade]

Was it a good goal? How was it scored?

Shot hit Moore and went in. New tactic from the training ground.

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Damn, could have been 2 if Rak-Sakyi passed

 

[toledo]

Vini S is having a great game so far !!!!

 

[Shadota]

Much better performance so far. Was nice of Moore to earn Gilchrist an assist, rather than an effort that was at risk of being closer to the corner flag than the goal

 

[Tom Bott]

Can’t believe Sander Berge ended up at Stoke

He relished the thought.

 

[drblade]

How’s Moore missed that?

 

[Shadota]

Awkward chance for Moore that one. It's around waist height when it reaches him, so it's not easy to head it. Perhaps could have controlled it to bring down to his feet, but he probably wouldn't be given the time to do that in the middle of the box.
