Team v QPR

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

Bash in midfield

 

[Blade56]

Clarke before McGoldrick is unbelievable based on performances

 

[ShockingBadBuy]

Crikey!

Let's hope it works, and that peeps lay off Wilder

 

[HydeParkBlade]

Happy with that. Basham should allow Fleck a bit more room to go forwards, and he always plays better when Duffy is on anyway. Weird having RND and Lafferty on the bench though.

 

[Liaminho9]

Henderson
Egan - Stearman - O’Connell
Freeman - Basham - Fleck - Stevens
Duffy
Sharp - Clarke

 

[Rob86]

Ok with that, Bash holding giving Fleck and Duffy licence to move forward. Of course Bash loves a good run as well. Clarke untouchable, let’s hope he proves us all wrong

 

[S6 Blade]

We’ve got pretty much the line up we wanted. Let’s hope they deliver.

That's because there's nobody else left, assuming Bryan's injured.

Interesting that we're in that situation in the 3rd game of the season. Shows we need more additions.

 

[YES Blade]

Still no Leonard with Evans leaving and Lundstrum injured.

Doesn’t look good for his future at the Lane.

We're not all wrong. Don't speak for me.

Even at RCB, he obviously has to get past not only Basham, but Stearman or Egan too.

Bizarre and disappointing he's not started today considering we've made 4 changes.

 

[Steve.C]

Leon and Enda find themselves lucky to still have a shirt. I’m sure wilder will be paying attention to those two performances today.

 

[Bladesman]

Clarke the undroppable and Stevens. Imagine my surprise.

I like that Sharp and Duffy are back in the team though.

 

[Rob86]

Quite right, my apologies.

Basham should only be used in midfield as an emergency, but with the potential new signing likely to be a midfielder it should hopefully be a one off.

It’s a bit disappointing that the Leonard signing looks to be one for the poor signing list.

Henderson
Egan - Stearman - O’Connell

Duffy

that’s more fucking like it

Leonard's arrival was supposed to mean the end of playing Basham in midfield.

And he can't even be given a go there in the last game before Norwood arrives and cuts off his chances completely.

 

[Pinchy]

Clarke the undroppable and Stevens. Imagine my surprise.

Clarke the second top scorer in the league last season? Sharp the do-no-wrong Bladey favourite. Hope he gets involved a bit for a change.

 

[Blade58]

Bash in midfield

Been a bit of a surprise if Evans weren't out

 

[Blade58]

Come on you Bastards

3 fkin points

 

[Snowman]

Clarke?????????

‘last’ season
hope he rediscovers some form today

 

[Pinchy]

‘lasr’ season

The season when Sharp was quite rightly left out for doing nothing game after game.

 

[YES Blade]

The season when Sharp was quite rightly left out for doing nothing game after game.

In 2018 Sharp has 6 goals and Clarke has 5, so form wise, they’re pretty similar.

Neither should be untouchable and should be dropped if they aren’t playing well.

You're absolutely right, but that's a minority view on here I'm afraid.

Sharp has been dropped often when out of form. When will Clarke ever be dropped unless he gets taken out with a sniper? Actually if Clarke got shot I still think Wilder would select him.

exactly.. why should Leon be any dofferent?

That’s my big issue with Clarke, he will play regardless of form.

Given that he’s 33, you’d think Wilder would see it as a chance to give him a rest.
