Match Thread The Mighty Blades v Bolton Wanderers

[Not_a_Cheat]

So back to BDBL and the visit of Bolton Wanderers. A match, on current form, which we should be negotiating with ease. With Bolton winless in their last 12 games on the road, and defeats in their last 5 of those. Home banker if ever there was one..... Be careful Blades...

Anyway...

Any team news?

Unchanged starting line up?

Or better to use the new boys from the bench?

Some considerable attacking talent now available

On one hand I'm very confident of a good result this afternoon. However anything is possible in football so we just have to play to our strengths and ensure a disciplined performance. Joking apart on the obvious potential banana skin, I think this could be a pretty strong result, so I'm going with an optimistic 4-0.

Looking out of the window is it still on ?

Can't see it being off with the forecast. No more snow and a balmy three degrees after twelve.

Fantastic if hogan and madine could score and kick start their Blades time

 

[Bladesthorpe]

Don't get to confident, they came here last year not having won away for 12 months and beat us 0 - 1. Let's not get deluded like South Barnsley.

 

[broomhillblade]

Banana skin?

No. It's high time we hit someone for six.

 

[Jim Chimmerney]

I normally leave us alone for betting purposes (and should in LMS ) but Blades over 1 goal, over 6 corners, Bolton over 2 corners (they'll hoof it forward and nab a few) 10/3

 

[derfblade.3]

1-1...............only kidding.....6-0

 

[Topplayersleave]

We absolutely cannot afford anything other than a win today

One game doesn't make a season, but not winning today could have a serious knock on effect in terms of confidence

We quite simply have to win, and if we play well we will, but if we're struggling we have to find a way to break through and win

Defeat today would be a disaster

I'd still rather be in their position, to be honest.

 

[SUFC Guy]

I would take a 1-0 scrappy game with our goal coming off the side of Madine's nose!

More goals would obviously be a bonus

 

[BrinsworthBlade]

1-0 Madine buries it 90+5

Let's not try to fix what's currently not broken. New boys from the bench, please.

Bill..............the team that has got us where we are please.

Plenty of ammo on the bench if we cant break through, what will be a big parked bus.

Just beat me to it mate.

No, but let’s avoid the equally repugnant Bladey Inferiority Complex and take pride in our club.

I knew we’d get this from the Bladey Bill Protection Society. How dare we recruit people who might take his place? Neither Madine nor Hogan have had much opportunity to score, have they? Both are good players. Proper non-Bladey Blades don’t put personal favourites before their club. They don’t care who plays or who scores so long as we get the right result.

Of course Sharp should start at the moment. He’s in great form. If that changes so does the selection. It’s not a difficult concept.

I’ve deleted the nonsense for you.

I thought that were thee with Reg Brealey.

Get a grip, man..

 

[Pinchy]

Get a grip, man..

It’s a pre-emptive knee-jerk. He’s getting in ahead of the Shoutbox Jellybabies.

 

[Stretch]

We are going to give this shower a damn good thrashing.

 

[Harry's Game]

Score early and I think we will win comfortably.

 

[Ricky]

Stop Ameobi and they should be reduced to set pieces.

An early goal as ever would be very excellent.

Line up wise, probably get McGoldrick back in. Not bothered whether it's Duffy or Dowell to start.

 

[Houston_Blade]

Play the first team please Christopher, you know the one that contains none of the new signings.

 

[JKBlade]

Is Bash suspended?
Not seen it mentioned but he’s had 10 yellows

 

[Pinchy]

I’m sure Tufty’s selection will be guided by what he reads on here...

 

[Bill Johnson]

Play nicely.
I'm watching.

 

[Ricky]

It would be typical for Donaldson to score having never scored at Bramall Lane for us.
