[Harry's Game]

I thought One’ did his hamstring?

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Be just like last season..clueless.

 

[RMBlade]

Is One available?

No idea, I don’t think wilder was asked about it in the presser. Just wishful thinking on my part

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

Wonder what the atmosphere will be like in the away end.

I'd guess very good. Never seems to reflect the whining we get on here.

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

4-0. Ugly scenes at full time

 

[djbaldken]

I just want to see a good solid team performance today.
Regardless of the result.
That way we'll have an idea of how much the off field debacle is affecting the squad as a team.
Togetherness on the pitch will give us an impression of how this season will turn out. We do have some experience players who on their day CAN make an impact. Let's hope they turn up today and at least give it a go.
What I don't want to see is a half arsed WTF who cares approach.
I'd be happy with a draw. A win would be fantastic. If we lose and everyone has given their all, fair enough. But a loss without commitment effort or any kind of passion will not be acceptable.
I think today is going to be a marker of things to come.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Need points on the board ASAP before any possible crisis develops more

And I've always thought the best way to get maximum points is to win the game

So I do hope we win

 

[espoo blade]

4-0. Ugly scenes at full time

Why so positive today?

 

[AWetFlannel]

No idea, I don’t think wilder was asked about it in the presser. Just wishful thinking on my part

Wilder said a couple of injury concerns going into the game, but didn't say who they were. I'm expecting an unexpected absentee.

 

[BangorBlade]

4231 for me. The 5 minutes after we switched to a 4231 before One got injured we looked somewhat dangerous vs Brum.

—————Bamford—————
One———O’Hare——— Chong
———Rothwell——Peck———
McCallum McG Tanganga Seriki
—————Cooper—————

Is One' fit ? If not I'd put Cannon out on the left

4-4-1-1?

 

[BangorBlade]

4-3-1-1?

Looks like it haven't a clue

 

[toledo]

Where’s Kalvin Phillips?

 

[Whitby-Blade]

4-4-1-1?

It’s a bit of a head scratcher.

Is McCallum a left sided centre back with Burrows wing back?

Hopefully O Hare is central.

 

[SharpAsAblade]

Is burrows RW? We tried it a few times before didn’t we?

 

[toledo]

Where will our goals come from ?

 

[Lowen]

(4-5-1)
Cooper
Seriki Tanganga McGuinness McCallum
O’Hare Peck Arblaster Rothwell Burrows
Bamford

Would be my guess but could be anything.

 

[DaddyDozy]

5-3-1-1

 

[Maltby_blade]

Where’s Kalvin Phillips?

Not match fit yet

 

[Argentinemanager]

Hopefully a return to 5-3 -2 the old w ilder formation

 

[Hamer's Right Peg]

Looks like a 5-3-1-1

 

[Blade58]

Pray for a good result

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Shackleton!

 

[manxblade]

Shackleton!

Like a new signing apparently

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Where’s Kalvin Phillips?

Should be fully fit and raring to go by the end of November.

He's been sent to live in the bedsit with Jamie Shackleton now Tom Davies has moved out.

 

[uTurn]

4-3-3 Maybe?

Cooper

Seriki-Tanganga-McGuinness-McCallum

Arblaster-Peck-Rothwell

Burrows-Bamford-COH

 

[Lower Drop Blade]

Not match fit yet

Never will be what a foooking bad signing but is a good lad in treatment room

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Like a new signing apparently

'Hamer's replacement is already at the club'

 

[Colombia Blade]

Thought 3 at back at first but surely you'd put RND as LCB in that case? But then if Burrows is LW surely you'd play Donovan RW? Basically I haven't a scooby what that line up is supposed to be!
