And here it is

 

[toledo]

Midfield looks weak, I hope Soumare plays a blinder because we will need it.

 

[Aston max]

I've probably missed it, but what's sydie done injury wise ??

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

The only change I’d personally make to that starting 11 is McCallum in for Burrows.

Otherwise think that’s a tidy 11.

 

[toledo]

Calf injury, I think, and out for a few weeks.

Calf

 

[XADE]

Strong as it gets without Peck.

O'Hare has been quality at times, but he can come on and do that.

Let's not be frightened, beat these and we're above em. Not bad to say how awful it's been this season.

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[Aston max]

Calf

Typical after I slagged the lad off he completely wiped the cynicism out of me with a few really good performances then gets injured.
I take it the sniper has returned after his exile.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Their fans don't seem happy. A strong start to get them to turn on their players please

I hope soumare has been told where to be, because positionally hes all over the place, because had we have had a midfield on Tuesday we'd have got 3 points, the plus is having arblaster on the bench, ok he hasn't got match fitness but I can definitely see a partnership with him and riedewald

 

[derfblade.3]

Burrows up against Johnson looks a bit tricky. Harrison needs to be top notch tonight.

 

[VictoryBlade]

It really worries me that Soumare is in the team as he is hopeless, but I suppose can he be any worse tonight?

 

[VictoryBlade]

Burrows up against Johnson looks a bit tricky. Harrison needs to be top notch tonight.

Another worry

They don't seem to be brimming with confidence so we could do with some early goal;s to undermine it further. Don't see too much wrong with that team selection - not much we can do about Peck being injured and I suspect a few of the team weren't too well on Wednesday so I'm hoping they're a bit more lively tonight

 

[Matlock Blade]

3-1 to the Blades

 

[Thrice]

Didn't even know that Gilchrist is in their squad. Would've loved to keep him around tbh as an option for RB and CB.

 

[UddersBlade]

1-1 draw I reckon. Baggies are hard to beat at home. Not lost at home for 3 months.

 

[YES Blade]

I’m more confident in Soumare with Riedewald alongside him, hopefully we’ll see an improvement tonight

 

[MadDad38]

Gilchrist is not big enough for a CB and not adventurous enough for a RB in the modern game

 

[Chimpan-A]

I’m more confident in Soumare with Riedewald alongside him, hopefully we’ll see an improvement tonight

Soumare not put a foot wrong tonight, really positive start.

 

[Bobby b]

On every kick cooper is aiming for Brookes, but the full back hasn't been bothered with any of them

 

[Thrice]

Gilchrist is not big enough for a CB and not adventurous enough for a RB in the modern game

Probably true, sadly.

 

[Sheffsteel]

Thought we started well…..with some nice fluent passing and Hamer had a great chance to score
but WBA have totally dominated the last 10-15 minutes we can’t get any possession.

Well done Bamford…..to relieve some pressure….he waits for the challenge then goes down.

 

[Barnette]

Long ball stuff handing WBA the initiative

 

[PaulPeschBlade]

No ones buying Gus Hamer in January

Bloke runs about like he’s had Christmas dinner

About 2 stone overweight

 

[drblade]

Need more penetration
