Match Day Thread Sheff Utd vs Saints, Tues 30th Sept

McCarthy

Fellows Jander Charles manning
Azaz Armstrong
Archer

I thought Stewart did ok but didn’t seem to win much in the air. I think goals will come from players like fellows, Azaz and Armstrong rather than our strikers.

 

Same team for me, worry about Derby on Wednesday morning. Especially as this is the tougher game.

I just want to see us perform well again, try and build further on the previous two matches. A step backwards would be hard to take.

Absolutely dreading the coach journey up there but it'll be a decent new ground to tick off and might be interesting with MLT/Franny/Beatts on board.

 

See if you can get any juicy gossip. None of the normal ****e we see on interviews about favourite goals etc. Find out which of our managers they thought were the biggest ****s. Ask for their opinion on Sport Republic, and see what they think of Still

 

Stewart will win more in the air than Archer, but I’d be tempted by the fresh legs coming in. Bring Ross on second half.

 

Sod that, see if we can get Matty in midfield and Beattie up front.

 

I'd start with Downes for Jander after his performance v Liverpool, I'd like to see him and Charles actually forming a partnership
I'd give Stewart another start up front as he's improving and is an option for high balls and crosses. Even when he doesn't win the headers he keeps the CDs occupied and creates opportunities for us to win 2nd balls, also I'd rather have Cam on later v tired legs

If we can't improve Stewart we've got a problem at No9 with the other options being 2 small guys and one ineffective guy

 

I see that Ings has already been injured for them (hamstring) but is now back in training. I don't know if he's recovered enough to make their bench tomorrow.

 

Doubt they'll give anything too interesting on SR or Still.

The challenge is to find something that isn't too generic but which they'll be willing to answer honestly.

Happy to take suggestions on board!
