Colechin on the bench.... I am unfamiliar with him. Anyone know anything?

 

[Chezzy Blades]

Colechin on the bench.... I am unfamiliar with him. Anyone know anything?

According to the official site he's a right back from the u18s, been with SUFC for 8 years since he was 8.

Exciting times for him.

 

[The Crab]

What positives did you take from Boxing Day ?

I had a very agreeable bottle of Portuguese red…

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

That bench is laughable and people rate the prince when he was the one holding back on more signings, see nowt but a loss today.

A point would genuinely be a huge achievement. If we’re serious about staying in the promotion race this shows we need at least 4 first-team ready signings - probably more.

His recruitment strategy over the last 2 years has really left the squad bereft of any depth

 

[Jon Bon II]

Crikey, that bench looks as thin as an After Eight.

 

[Charlieblade]

I hope the Blades players are well motivated due to the inconsistent performance last time out
and WBA losing their manager.
I agree with those fans who believe we are the better side. All they need to do today, is prove it. With so many doubtful starters, it won’t be easy, but the squad needs to make it a statement home win, with a great Blades performance.

It's done now.

To be fair to him, he made it clear he wanted to sell. Bit like selling a house, you don't spunk money on it when you are trying to sell. You might tart it up a bit,but you aren't going to put a new kitchen in.

Let's see what January brings.

Big performance needed from everyone today. Got to get Davies on the ball and I hope Brooks has a good game, he needs a big one.

With that bench, we need to be ahead and comfortable in 60 minutes, we aren't changing a game with subs.

 

[Richeee]

We have a number 53 Colechin on the bench today..
Highest shirtnumber in a first team match squad??

 

[Keen Blade]

Please put Brooks on the L and either Hamer or O'Hare on the R.
Forget this inverted winger lark , it produces nothing.
Get players on their natural foot and get some width by getting down the wings.

 

[Willmark]

16 years old? I think

It is done now. But if we don't go up, then that's probably going to be the main reason why and he'll miss out on his big bonus.

[Charlieblade]

If Brookes plays on the left, he and Burrows can compliment each other and back each other up.

 

[Gin&Juice]

Fucking hell, surprised Sinclair wasn’t pleading for any able bodied men to make their way to the changing rooms, that bench needs filling!

 

[KOPPO]

Goal machine stick to pasta fella

 

[Blacksea]

Our full backs need to get blocks and tackles in today,it's going to come in from wide,so stop them before they get it into the area, clean sheet needed to give us a chance.

 

[Keen Blade]

Looking for some heroes to step forward today

 

[Blacksea]

2 great crosses in already, not made the most of

 

[robbiez666]

Must be one of our weakest benches. Number 53!

[Nade]

Do we even know what's happened to Rak-Sakyi?

 

[unchosen]

Nice to see Ahmed and Brooks back. Looks like we’re playing more direct than in past games. It has the crowd going.

 

[Keen Blade]

Moore fluffs tap-in.
Brooks under no pressure , leans back to shoot - basic , get your body over the ball.
Wtf is the point of inverted wingers
Only option is to turn inside and defenders know it
Please just try proper wingers Chris .
Just try it once and see

 

[Jan Age]

Davies looking leggy

 

[goatherder]

I have a feeling we will lose this and the next two games
