That's good news, we missed him big time against Plymouth, any news on Akpo?

Not as yet but rumours are that he will probably make the bench:thumbsup:

Sweet as, Richard Wood is a big part of our defence and we will need him at the back for the derby.
Whats the crack with Peter Gilbert he's been playing well lately.:thumbsup:

As for anyone else i dont know, i think the derby will be a game or 2 late for Franky Boy but you never know another for the bench maybe

Yeah but i suppose too many comeback players either in the side or on the bench maybe a big gamble.

Too early to bring Simek back after such a long time out I think.

The season doesn't ride on this 1 game, with the start we have had and with the injuries we have had to cope with.
Law's doesn't want to make any rash decisions selection wise.
These players in question will make more of an impact points wise if they are brought back gradually like has happened with Franny Jeffers.

It'd be nice to have Sodje on the bench and bring him on for the last half an hour to worry them. Er, as long as we're not 2 or 3 down by that point.

No point risking Simek, it's too early.

We have to wrap all our players in cotton wool as the squad is so thin don't you think

YYIPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Do you think he'll score another goal for us?

He's a Blade you know :)

id be very surprised if simek made it even onto the bench, too risky playing him so soon. if sodje is nearing fitness then he should be on the bench, i wouldnt risk him from the start though. where do you think laws will play tudgay, i dont know if laws would be better playing him up front or on the wing.

Personally i think Tudgay influences the game best from the channels, I reckon it will be Burton and Tudders up front when all is said and done, with probably Jeffers and Sodje on the bench.

thats what i think he will do aswell but i would rather him give jeffers/tudgay up front, or try to get jeffers a full half at least

Does anyone know if JJ is ready for the Derby? I know he's away with de Reggae Boyz so hope he's not on International duty. :mad:

hope he's back, if he isnt tudgay will have to go on the wing

Seems to me that you wendy fans are very scared for some reason..:hihi::hihi:

Mighty Blades 3-Styfield Wendy 1:that's my prediction:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Wade Small could slot in there easilly, he switches with Esajas or Johnson, whoevers playing at the time.

Seems to me that you Blades fans are very confident for some reason.

'Styfield' Wednesday?

You do realise that you are actually insulting Sheffield with that pathetic pun? :rolleyes:

I think you will find that this is not an insult to swillsbrough at all it make you sound more upmarket,plus the pun was aimed at the football ground not the city.:loopy:
If this is all you can come back with you must be scared mate.

oh yea, i forgot about small. where are all these wednesday fans that are scared:loopy: theres only 1 player that i dont want to play and thats bt, wednesday have just as much chance as utd on the day, will see who wants it more

Oh dear [grabs forehead].

Don't forget Owls, we had all this chat before the last two games & look what happened then. ;)

Plus, the day Wednesday become scared of United is the day man walks on the Sun (not the newspaper).

UP THE OWLS!

That will be about the time you do the double over us again as well wont it :D

Before this gets into a handbag fight let me just say from reading your post on here i could see the nervousness in them so hence the comment on been scared.
Secondly i as a blade i will be the first to hold my hands up and say you were the better team in both derby matches last season,But we seem up for it this year and I'm confident that we will be much better than last year and too strong for you lot.
If you do win i will come back on here and apologize to all wendy fans for my comments and take the abuse i deserve for my predictions.:thumbsup:

you had the better team last season, didnt help. its all about who wants it more, theres nothing in the utd team that scres or worrys me although we will need to keep the ball away from bt as much as poss, he can do some damage as shown last season at the lane. i just hope both teams play well and make it an entertaining match, not a borin 0-0 with no goals:mad: win or lose i'll be happy if the team put the effort in and i actually get to go this time:D

At Hillsborough we played the following team;

Kenny
Geary Bromby Killgallon Armstrong
Carney Speed Tonge Monty Carney
Hulse

For me the following team is much stronger and much more balanced;

Kenny
Naughton Ugo Killgallon Naysmith
Cotterill Speed Quinn Webber
BT Sharp

I think Wednesday could get a rude awakening if they think we're going to roll over like we did at Hillsborough last season.

Why did we only play with 10 men? Poor Carney must have worn his legs off running from side to side all through the game! :hihi:

Sorry, replace Carney number 2 on the left with Lee Martin!!!

Lee Martin aint even on par with JJ or Esajas performance wise this season.

i'm starting to worry about going to the sty this season because i am so confident of a blades win. and i fancy us to score a few goals.

wendy are in a false position in the league we all know that. pinched a point at swansea pinched 3 points at charlton. and according to laws the best keeper in the league :hihi: got them 3 points against bottom club forest.

whilst united have been there own worst enimies. last minute defeat at birmingham same at norwich which have cost us points.

the signing of howard is going to have a big influence on the game and every time we go forward their defence will be at panic stations. whilst i'm more than confident our defence can more than handle them.

like i say i'm very confident and hav'nt been this confident since i walked down herries rd boxing day 79.:gag:

You must have not seen Wednesday this season then for obvious reasons, one thing we do is score goals, ok we concede them but your full backs need to be on there toe's big time come sunday.

yes if jj and esajas play like they have been utd will have alot to think about. the 1 thing i'm not concerned about is scoring goals, if woody is playing then the defence will be much more solid aswell

You seem very confident David!!!

have a look at my prediction stockers and you will see how confident i am:(. all i'm saying is jj and esajas will cause no end of problems for utd if they can perform like they have been, we havent conceded many at home and can score so if wednesday do play to their best then it will be a very entertaining match

I think this is built up to be one of the best hopefully, going by without any noted trouble, i got my Sunday planned already.
9 am Bacon sarnis, n Sunday papers, 10 am time for a lager or 2, 11am get moving 12 pm get to Hillsborough 1.15 Proud to be a Sheffielder!!!!!
UP THE OWLS
