I’d go with the following lineup

Dovin

MVE Thomas Binks Bidwell

Saka Eccles Sheaf Rudoni

Torp

Bassette

 

[Osabisa3256]

Would stick Bidwell in if he's ready, (though I'd imagine he's probably not).

Why he was awful when he came on

 

[robbiethemole]

After our last two results, let them worry about us?? Fuck being scared of other sides, we're as good of any of them!! ( Rhyss Carr's team talk )

 

[Sky Blue Wozza]

Same starting team. Grind out a draw.

Then start EMC and Saka against Cardiff and unleash hell.

 

[clint van damme]

Why he was awful when he came on

He's not been great all season but he's still an upgrade on Dasilva

 

[shmmeee]

He really wasn’t yesterday. Looked like a competition winner.

 

[Nick]

He really wasn’t yesterday. Looked like a competition winner.

Yeah but you say that while taking a breath desperately defending Da Silva for 5 hours.

He was on the pitch a few minutes.

 

[clint van damme]

He's been out for weeks. Though that's why I don't think he'll be ready

 

[Grendel]

He really wasn’t yesterday. Looked like a competition winner.

He hasn’t warmed up and was just thrown on as Dasilva was injured. He clearly wasn’t fit.

This Championship is the poorest it's been. Period.
Only about 15pts off the top.

 

[Covcraig@bury]

3-2 away win. Nothing to fear here, if we play the press like yesterday and take it to them then maybe 3-1 win

 

[JohnWH]

Gee I guess another 2-2 draw why not. Usual 2 unnecessary goals given to opposition, maybe a Simms poach or two. Could be entertaining if both sides avoid being too negative and push on in an open game. Just let Fabio on for last 15 minutes to run wild and ragged distracting against hopefully a tired defense and open up room for Tats or Torp to sneak in a worldie. I know he's seemingly low on the pecking order but may as well take advantage of squad depth rotation every once in a while.

 

[Captain Dart]

Would stick Bidwell in if he's ready, (though I'd imagine he's probably not).

I think Bidders might play 20 mins tops in this game.

 

[shmmeee]

Think we lose this. They’re a decent side and always seem to do a number on us.

I don’t think he is, but would be hilarious if King is leaving Carr in to give Lampard an easier start then Carr goes unbeaten against 3 of the top 4 and Lampard loses to Cardiff.

 

[torchomatic]

Tuesday night up and down that M6 isn't that appealing

Taken the afternoon off, so we can take our time. It's the lane closures on the way back that I dread.

 

[Great_Expectations]

Bidwell didn’t look fit at all yesterday, I really don’t think he can start.

Odds on a Hannibal / Bassette confrontation at some point?!

 

[Block16Dave]

Went to buy a ticket for this tonight as my work plans mean I can be in the north Tuesday and Wednesday and ticket site says sold out! Good if true but don’t believe it, feels like a ticketmaster blip with a 2300 allocation

 

[Gibbo]

I’d go with the following lineup

Dovin

MVE Thomas Binks Bidwell

Saka Eccles Sheaf Rudoni

Torp

Bassette

This is also what I had in mind but with Collins in goal. He might on another day just have got to the second, but could do nothing about the first His distribution is the best of the three goalies.

He's going to be fatigued, though, been in Sheffield United's head all weekend!

 

[wingy]

What do you expect, his touch was off, hardly a surprise is it!

 

[Sick Boy]

This Championship is the poorest it's been. Period.
Only about 15pts off the top.

Period? It’s full stop ffs.

 

[CovValleyBoy]

Period?

Since the Championship was formed. I think that's fair comment.

 

[Sick Boy]

Since the Championship was formed. I think that's fair comment.

Do you actually say period rather than full stop?

 

[CovValleyBoy]

Do you actually say period rather than full stop?

Sorry. I worked for an American company. Its used for emphasis I guess.

 

[Para1140]

Looks like weve now sold out our allocation. Well done SBA see you all up North

 

[alexccfc99]

Sold out our just taken off sale?

A real good effort if we have sold out tbh and goes to show all these other fanbases that say our support will drop off after a dull/nothing season are chatting shite

 

[torchomatic]

I thought Dasilva played well yesterday.

 

[wingy]

I thought Dasilva played well yesterday.

I certainly thought he was involved in a lot and he left me with that impression, that may have been his involvement in attacking moves not his defensive work, but I'm not sure about blaming him for the goals against is fair as we just seem all at sea when those occur.

I think when you’ve got everyone blaming their least favourite defender it’s a good sign no one in particular was to blame.

 

[Potbellypig]

Form is similar between both teams for the last 6 games. Probably last game before Lampard comes in. Not expected to win. Nothing to fear really.

 

[clint van damme]

For the 2nd he lost the ball on the edge of our box.
Poor positioning or not tracking by other players after that doesn't exonerate him.

He was still busy though wasn't he in a positive way?
We have so many failings all over the defence tbf, what I'm saying is there's no value in ripping one of them, they're all guilty of it,I can't recall the amount of time's MVE has been out of position or trailing after some winger to no avail this season,the alchemy's off probably since the departure of Lawrence.

Dasilva is clearly targeted by other teams. Hes definitely seen as someone they can get joy against.

We do have other defensive failings though, there's no denying that.

“Edge of our box”

The hysteria around Dasilva is reaching record levels.
