Team tonight against Handsworth (Friendly)

[Freeman]

Cheers Treeton, I'll take that. I think I'm better than Deadman

Anyone know Handsworth team on the night, just wondered if Marrison and Starosta played for them who came through our academy over a decade ago?

I watched the first half of the game tonight, while standing in between the two benches, before moving to a different position in the second half. Cant tell you how impressed and refreshing it was to witness such a passionate Blades manager on the sideline, as CW was tonight, after having to put with last seasons plastic, waffling, useless excuse of a manager.
He never stopped throughout the game, shouting encouragement, instructions and tearing a strip off the players when necessary. The most noticeable thing was his constant desire for the ball to be moved quicker. He was constantly shouting "QUICKER, QUICKER" throughout the half. My favourite moment was when after about ten passes of the ball we eventually reached the edge of their penalty box. Despite retaining possession at this point, CW launched his water bottle to the floor in frustration at slow the build up had been.
He was constantly on at K.Wallace for coming inside looking for the ball, instead of staying out wide and making forward runs. He probably suffered as he was directly at the side of CW in the first half. Reed was the other main subject of his attentions, although he was also getting at Adams for not tracking back. I was impressed by Clarke and thought Freeman also did well. Couldn't really judge the lad from Chelsea or Long's performance as they were not really tested.
One of the fans asked CW about Morsy, however I'll update the relevant rumour thread with his response.
A thoroughly enjoyable evening. .

Did he fold his hands across his chest at any point? If so a resounding "Wilder Out" from me

The Star says their goalkeeper had a very good game , would he be worth a punt to cover for Long ?

He had an unsuccessful spell on loan at Stabæk here in Norway this year.

Your keyboards fucked mate

I think he might be out of contract now. It must be fairly obvious to all including him that he's not going to make it at Chelsea's elite level.

He's not even made the Scotland U21 team. Doesn't mean he's not good enough for us in League One though:-

bear in mind Callum McFadzean plays for Scotland U21s. It might mean he's not good enough to put his shoes on the right feet.
