Can't see us getting anything here without Cranie and Dowell.

I am still buzzing about the season starting with fans. I am sure that will be knocked out of me if we lose tonight. Need a point. Need a goal.

You two know my missus she loves correcting me an all.

 

[Harry's Game]

The way we are at the moment A point tomorrow would be as surprising as the win at Old Trafford last season to be perfectly honest.

 

[WORKSOPBLADE]

You two know my missus she loves correcting me an all.

Plenty of practice?

 

[BigBed]

I think we will lose by 2 or 3 tomorrow unfortunately, but I also hope it will be the turning point, and we could even score a goal come Satdy!

No Bogle No Brewster No Mcburnie

Bad team selection in my books

UTB In slav we trust

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

Sorry but that team is pathetic. We’ll get mullered, literally no pace to stretch their slow back line- they will soak up all our pressure and kill us on the break, 3-0 home win.

 

[Chezzy Blades]

Not much pace in that line up.

 

[derfblade.3]

Goodbye Rammy.

that side…

 

[bibbity bobbity boo]

Hi West Brom, here's 3 easy points for you.

 

[SwindonBladeJnr]

Seems like I'm going against the grain here but I'm fine with the line-up. I'm not confident we are going to be able to transition completely away from 3 at the back and towards how Slav usually sets up until we've done more transfer business.

In the mean time, this to me looks solid if not particularly exciting and should be difficult to beat at Championship level. We're desperate for some additional attacking flair and midfield options.

 

[Davalon]

3 at back surely

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Can't see Utd scoring tonight with this starting 11. McGoldrick never in penalty box when needed. Another poor selection tonight

 

[Suomi_Blade]

Are we taking this as a 442?

 

[mancunianblade]

Relax everyone we are just giving everyone in the league a head start. its only fare

 

[Oohaah! Bob Bookah!]

Not going to say it won’t work but there is no pace and no height in that team.
Let’s hope the gods are with us

 

[mancunianblade]

Are we taking this as a 442?

its either 442 or 532.

 

[AnstonBlade1]

No goals in that side

 

[The Hobott]

At least he's changing it

 

[FriethBlade]

With McGoldrick constantly dropping into midfield we are playing with one up front. Are we going for another 0.0 ?

 

[Frank the tank]

a point tonight and 3 points tomorrow and we're right back in the mix.

Who we playing tomorrow ? The championship really does come at you thick and fast doesn't it ? I can't keep up

 

[SwindonBladeJnr]

In reality, you only ever know whether it was a poor selection or not after the fact. Let's hope you feel differently at full time!

 

[sufcboy95]

No goals in that side

Heard that bloke Billy Sharp has bagged a few in past

 

[yorkshirecoast]

I know Slav doesn’t have a great squad to work with but he could not have picked a slower team. Absolutely fed up of our slow, boring football - been the same for 15 months.
