    Very attack minded methinks. AN possibly hoping to take advantage of their weakened team and bury them.

    If we on same formation that's a very weak centre midfield.

    If we change to 442 and put O'Nien in the middle that's a very weak centre midfield. <laugh>

    Nervous now, just hope we can outscored them I guess.

    evans out will be a blow, wright not replacing ballard especially with evans missing seems a strange choice to me but A.N. has made some decisions we have questioned before and he has been proved right, i hope this is another time he is.

    Def worried about tonight, they are a quality side - think they will be top 4 at least this season. Evans is a huge blow, hopefully Neil and Embleton step up tonight

    Defence looks weak..

    Can we score more goals than they can?

    That's the worry about Evans. Empties the tank on Saturday and game over for a midweek fixture.

    Their 11 look very good for this level. We are so young and lacking steel. Hopefully we just play with no fear.

    That midfield looks weak with no Evans. Cover definitely required. Think we are gonna have to score at least twice to take anything. Hopefully Stewart and Simms can batter there defenders like they did on Saturday.

    I trust AN and I suppose his hands are tied until we make the signings he wants but that team has more square pegs in round holes that I'm comfortable with

    Worked in Sheffield fir a year and went to Bramall lane regularly. Love the ground. Had a proper old fashioned ground feel to it
