Match Thread The Mighty Blades v Stoke City

[Dkc]

I've got an awful feeling about this game. Not only will we lose 3 or 4 nil, we'll also lose at least one key player with a long term injury.

Also they will run out of pies on the kop before half time.

3 - 0 Blades.

Think positive, be positive and you might just be surprised at how positive the outcome can be!!!

Up The Blades !!

Has anyone realised that there are 2 teams playing tonight.
It’s not so simple as “if we win then we’ve been brilliant” or “we lost so we were crap”.

Sometime the opposition can have really good nights or have poor nights.

It’s possible we might play well, be at our best but still lose due to Stoke being better on the night.

Also hate to say it but I’ve a bad feeling too (which is not like me) can’t see us winning, not because we’re poor, still confident we’ll reach the play-offs but believe Stoke have better players and will have a match where they fulfil their potential, hope I’m wrong.

biggest win for a long time.....5-0

 

[Dkc]

I'm revising my prediction. Blades 1, Stoke 6. And no beer on the kop at half time.

 

[BigBed]

Clarke starts, hope he's booked himself up!

 

[SteveBlade]

Clark ahead of Sharpe.

We're going to give you some reight stick if we lose Chris.

 

[The Bladesman]

Need to put this game to bed quickly. There were def promising signs from saturday that we can put on the pressure when needed and show fight when under it. We just need to start hitting the back of that net at their end like its "do or die" tonight (and swarm their goal mouth). Come on United! 3 POINTS!!!

 

[Maidenhead]

Clark ahead of Sharpe.

We're going to give you some reight stick if we lose Chris.

Just the sort of support we need

 

[Muttley]

D'ya mean Clarke and Sharp?

 

[bromtom]

Maybe he wants someone on the bench that can make a difference, so Billy has to wait until later.

Really don't know tonight. Don't care about the result, there's a long way to go yet, I want to see a performance though.

Hopefully everyone is at it. Come on Blades, and God speed Leon because you'll be designated scapegoat if we lose lad.

Na then pal, I'm a reight Blade.

D'ya mean Clarke and Sharp?

I think I know how to spell the names of our players...

 

[Jehovah]

Clarke starts, hope he's booked himself up!

So he's starting on a yellow? Great, just great.

 

[Jehovah]

Clarke needs to put a performance in here

 

[BigBed]

Clarke needs to put a performance in here

He needs to be the fairy God mother, Dick Whittington and Snow white pal!!

Just seen the team news.

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

Strange why our Captain and top scorer has been dropped? Hoping for a big performance from Leon tonight.

2-0 Blades.

UTB

 

[snootyfenooty]

At least he's not dropped Duffy anall.

 

[Champagneblade]

meanwhile, seems the Beeb have bought into NKT:

“Sheffield Wednesday have enjoyed a strong start to the Championship campaign.

Five wins and four draws from their opening 13 league games mean they go into today's matches knowing a win could send them back into the top six.”

How is winning 5/13 a strong start when you’ve also lost 4/13 and effectively not won 8/13?

Blades winning 8/13 is a strong start.

selection mistake in my view.

likely to get more chances at home. we never lose when he scores. Who else so readily drops their top scorer?

he's probably picked Leon for his defensive capabilities as much as anything. you know how Stoke play..

maybe, but when you’re at home shouldn’t we let them worry about us, not the opposite?

 

[robbiez666]

I presume he's been picked for his height as I assume Stoke are still a massive team.

I am confused as to why Cranie is on the bench again though. Do we need him and Stearman? I'd have thought Lundstram or Woodburn would make more sense.

 

[snootyfenooty]

Fucking hell chances going a begging. If only we had a goal poacher who could put these away...

Yeah what was his name?
Him that Tyler Durden wanted to marry?

It was about the only thing I agreed with him on.

 

[The Bladesman]

10 shots, 3 on target. Come on lads, enough games now, FINISH THIS!

 

[GrayBlade]

Sharp plays on Satdi and every cross has snow on it.

Some good hard and low crosses tonight though, just like Sharpy thrives on...and he’s on the bench.

Come on Blades, let’s join up the two ends second half.

 

[Camden Blade]

We're playing well. Pinging the ball about and one twos. Stoke have been poor. But we need to finish the chances. Fleck, Norwood, McGoldrick, Stevens all playing well. Should be at least one up. Leon missed a sitter or so it looked on the Sky stream. Open goal. Although the ball came fast at him. *Should* capitalise second half.
