Will this game be on IFollow?

I wouldn’t have thought so. But as an alternative get a 24 sky sports pass through NowTV.

Just checked the ticket sales plan web site.
Ticket sales are well down on any match last season.
Quite a lot of tickets left in all areas.

It’s looking like a dissapointing 22 or 23,000 crowd.
Maybe loads are still on holiday?
Maybe we’ll sell a 1000+ tomorrow?
Maybe the cat A pricing along with it being shown on Sky have deterred a few 1000.

Think we’ll win 2-1
We need a win as it’s followed by 2 tough away games (Boro and QPR) where we lost last season.

Comparable to matches on TV last year.

Does that work abroad?

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Does that work abroad?

It should if you do the reverse of what everyone did in the UK last season...

 

[bromtom]

FFS, it's Clarke, Sharpe, Woodburner and hopefully Martine Wagghorne in next week.

I prefer to call Woodburn by his Native American name, Smouldering Oak.

 

[Blade58]

1 - 0 Blades

Clarke scorer

Clarke and DMc up front

Not sure on midfield. Going with Fleck, Evans and Lunny

Egan, JOC and Bash at the back

Woody on bench

 

[Bladesman]

 

[Ricky]

Reassuring to see the useless fuckers are still incapable of listing the team in positional order.

 

[AWetFlannel]

Rather be brave and play Duffy or Woodburn, but I'll take that.
Cmon United lets av em!

 

[Antonb]

A bit of a safe line up I think but fingers crossed

 

[FinchleyBlade]

Making the same mistake as 2nd half of last season with benching our best and most creative player.

 

[YES Blade]

Reassuring to see the useless fuckers are still incapable of listing the team in positional order.

Can’t you work it out for yourself?

 

[BladesOnToast]

Every single one of those on bench bar Lafferty would not be surprising selections for the starting lineup, = strength in depth hopefully.

This is nailed on 2-1 Blades victory. No doubt.

 

[JayGreen17]

Shame we don’t have that creative spark on the pitch, Duffy should be i; that line up.

 

[Ricky]

Seen Swansea's line up.

I fancy us to win here.

 

[Jehovah]

I can't believe we are not starting duffy

 

[Stuart Davis]

What’s the logic in not starting Duffy?

 

[INTAKE BLADE]

Worried about that line up, hope I'm proved wrong.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Freeman, Duffy and Sharp should all be starting.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Anybody got a link to watch the match?

 

[robbiez666]

Disappointed we're not starting with Duffy or Woodburn but can see the logic. Midfield is key and their midfield can be overrun.

 

[Iceybabey]

Time for Lunny to step up this season.

 

[Carlton Blade]

Come on you red and white wizaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaards

 

[shrubbery]

New advertising boards round the pitch - bright as fuck they are.

 

[Ted Maul]

Interesting line-up from Swansea. They've gone with mostly new signings and players who were on loan in the Championship last year. So players with a point to prove rather than the jaded just-got-relegated lot.

Not my preferred midfield combo for us, but maybe McGoldrick will make that work better. Come on Blades!!!

 

[FriethBlade]

Lacking penetration so far. Not a fan of playing both Evans and Lunny at home.

 

[Iceybabey]

Fleck needs to get in the game

 

[JayGreen17]

Same issues as last season no penetration in the final 3rd, the 3 central mids don’t provide the spark to drive forward, these are here for the taking,

Clarke has been anonymous, Bash full of his usual mistakes, McGoldrick has played well though, Fleck needs to get into the game more.

Get Woodburn on for Lundstram, and Sharp on for Clarke.

 

[Jehovah]

We need woodburn.or duffy. Evans and lundstram create nothing
