Liquid 284 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 What a big game in it's own right. There's always been a bit of rivalry between us and Sheff Utd, and I think the scenes when we beat them with a late winner at home in 2017 only fanned those flames. Personally I was serving my time as a Senior Steward in the away end at that time and it definitely got hairy up until and when then bust through the fence into Car Park E. Contrarily I was glad to see them do well in the PL under Wilder though, it was good to see a team come up and put a good shift in and compete well against the big boys. I think we really need to be turning them over tomorrow though, to kick-start our season as CT says. I fancy us to do it aswell, 2-1 I'm saying. Mowatt to come straight in hopefully as a replacement for Howson and really marshall the midfield. Personally I would throw Hoppe straight in with Forss up front, but I don't think that will happen. We'll see. I reckon it will be a good game anyway, I'm hopeful that we'll really start to show and prove what we want to be about this season tomorrow. Enjoy 👍🏻🚩 2 Link to post Share on other sites

marvin 290 Posted August 13, 2022 Author Share Posted August 13, 2022 We’ll start the day in 22nd. However, a 6-0 victory could see us jump to 8th. Which, in my opinion, would feel a lot better… UTB 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Neovium 27 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) My hoped for team. Steffen Jones Dijksteel Fry McNair Giles Howson Crooks Mowatt Akpom Forss Watmore, Hoppe and Mcgree to come on for last half hour. Probably be Lenihan with Fry on the bench and Bola at LCB, and Mcgree at LCM though. Edited August 13, 2022 by Neovium Added Mcgree in probable 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I imagine he'll come off the bench though if not. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
