The derby

[232 Bramall Lane]

Going back to the football ..
I worry about the likely absence of Moore.
Particularly his defensive qualities at corners where he's taken over the role performed so well by Mcburnie at the near post.
They have tall players and will likely make set pieces difficult to defend ( they scored from one the other night.)

Moore is going to be a big miss, but Souttar would be even bigger.
I really hope he's resting up.
Campbell does need a partner, he's not a lone striker, but we absolutely won't play 2 up top. I just hope the midfield don't leave him isolated, get up there and help him.

Unless my eyes deceived me, Hamer seemed to start the last match almost playing as a 2nd striker, occasionally dropping into the 10.

I would put him just behind Campbell and get him to shoot on sight (as I think their keeper is a bit of a flapper under pressure) with O'Hare and Rak-Sakyi either side.

Have no idea what to expect really but it’s looking likely Moore will be out injured which is a bit of a blow.

Cooper
Gilchrist Souttar Anel Burrows
Souza
Blaster
JSR OHare
Hamer
Campbell

I’d also consider swapping OHare for Brewster at some point if Brewster is fit and OHare performs as he has done last 5 games or so. Think he’ll get bullied.

On paper that first 11 looks great aside from Moore missing out but Wilder will ensure we get bodies up to support Campbell and Hamer/JSR will look to terrorise from in and around the box too.

I’m confident as we should all be being second in table and off the back of 3 good wins. But not over confident or arrogant to think it’s a given.

Is there an older scoreboard in the top 2 divisions? It was installed in 1991 apparently.

Probably the most recent upgrade to their stadium then!
