Match Thread The Mighty Blades v The Owls

[BushBlade]

Its that big fucker with the funny name i'm worried about.

Tango?

 

[Carlton Blade]

Not nervous yet, will be when I walk into the ground I would imagine.

2-1 Blades. O'Connell headed goal at some point

I've got money on 2-1. O Connell and Sharp

 

[fintious maximus]

Ive got 40 mins before i set off and I’m on the edge if my seat twitching. Id leave now but will be really early leaving at 5. Just hope we’re all smiling when the full time whistle blows. UTB

As seems to be my usual predicament I'll be reduced to listening to the game tonight. I can't get to many games now and for the foreseeable future, so I'm dependent on both radio and the forum for feedback on live games. I refuse to pour money into Sky's coffers (which is difficult as I'd love to watch a live match) but I'm happy to listen to the detail of the game as the feedback from forum members is first rate (well most of the time!).

I won't go over the old chestnuts - will we be up for this game, will arrogance enter our thinking, and will we compete as we all know we're capable of competing etc, etc, etc. What I do know is this, Wilder will guarantee that each and every member of the team (including those on the bench) will be focused and wanting to give their all. No worries there, a Wilder team will run through brick walls for the manager, so let's forget any nonsense that's spouted about a lack of attitude or commitment.

Whichever first eleven takes the pitch we all know we'll compete to levels that have become our norm. I won't wish anyone good luck, luck will play no part in what we achieve tonight, we'll win because we're the better team, and that's been the standard even before this season began, so onwards and upwards Blades. Here's to a great game and worthy success, Up The Mighty Blades!

[Pinchy]

The Lobstermobile will leave Derbyshire at 5-30 prompt. Three passengers all bedecked in Red and White and bang up for it.

COYRAWW!

 

[Woodwardfan]

Grandson did this for me today.

 

[Pinchy]

Funny feeling about tonight. I reckon they could come away with a result. and George Boyd will score.

Oh, they’ll come away with a result...

 

[Newbury Blade]

Completed a circumnavigation of the ground at 5pm and can report: all is calm. Queues at burger vans: 0. The Copthorne bar, however, is very busy indeed.

 

[metalblade]

On the tram at Gleadless usually hate these games strangely not too worried today very wierd. Confident but not over confident. COYRAWW

 

[Newbury Blade]

This is the first time I’ve ever bought a programme 3 hours before kickoff.

 

[Woodwardfan]

I feel sick already and I’m at work til 6

Still, going 2-0 dem Blades

COYRAWW

Get some work done FFS.

 

[Woodwardfan]

I've got money on 2-1. O Connell and Sharp

I've got money on first half win, full time win, -1 goal, -2 goals, -3 goals ( sensible amount!)

So you're confident then?

Have a look at my cartoon Pinchy - the lad's 11 year old

 

[Woodwardfan]

So you're confident then?

Not at all. If I bet on them they usually lose but in this case my head ruled my heart !! COYRAWW!!

 

[Woodwardfan]

So you're confident then?

Also backed us to finish Top 6 and for Promotion.

What a Transfer Window. I am filling up my Senses and my bank balance!????????????????????????????? Thing is I never backed United for years and years before that lad from Stocksbridge came back, bless him. I now believe anything is possible. Look at S6 right now, they are in disarray, in no small part due to Sir Chris Wilder, Knight of the Realm of S2.

 

[fintious maximus]

Well I’m here, in my seat. Come on Blades

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Clarke and Donaldson start.

 

[thehet]

Clarke and Donaldson start.

Well done Wilder for sticking to form players.

No justifiable reason for doing otherwise.

 

[blade too long]

sensible to ease in new lads
start with lads thats served us well

 

[Iceybabey]

Bench is looking beeeeyutiful.

 

[Mesut Özil's Lawnmower]

Well I’m here, in my seat. Come on Blades

And me, don’t think I’ve ever been at a game this early, anxiety got the better of me

[blade too long]

wednesday going 352 for first time against us , we didnt win our first 4 in that system

 

[robbiez666]

They seem to be going 5 at the back. Not a good sign. It worked for Birmingham against us. We need to target their flanks.

Sounds more likely after what's been said about the new managers style

 

[Broomhall Blade]

We are to slow.

 

[CornwallBlade]

We are to slow.

Terrific intensity for 15 minutes but we’re now bypassing midfield. Duffy is being marked out of the game but that should create space. Good first half, only thing missing is our delivery from set pieces which has been pretty poor. They’ve offered nothing so still confident of a result second half

 

[Hackblade]

Good start but Wednesday grew in confidence as it went on and our intensity dropped.
