Nah. We need to give Lendog and Manbun a go.
They'll be on fire.
Laff can't overlap and cross a ball so it's a no from me.
Front foot Saturday. It all starts to come together again!

[herbert]

Stevens doesn't deserve to stay in the team - and probably needs a rest. If Lafferty can't get a game now then Wilder needs to go and get another LWB who'll provide serious competition.
I'd give Thomas a go there but not in this game.

I wouldn't hesitate to get Manbun on early. I fancy him to do something on his debut.

I'd also be quite keen to get Lenny on, or maybe Evans depending on the game.

Hasn't Thomas gone on loan?I was told to Sarfend. UTCB

[seanbeanstattoo]

Stevens has been at it every week. Baldock has been out with Bash deputising. Stevens has been a rock star.
Thomas shouldn't yet be on the bench unless its in front of Lafferty or Sharp.
Won't hurt to rest Duffy. He can always come on if Holmes needs replacing

On a more serious note all Blades going to Norwich be aware their firm WILL be looking to avenge the banged out w a n kers from the game at the Lane.

[herbert]

Stevens has been at it every week.

Exactly. It's starting to show. He's been a good signing but surely needs a rest. Very important that we keep our first choice wing backs fresh.

Gonna try a slight shift in formation which could work for us, especially away from home

Stevens and Clarke need a rest. The shift in formation puts a slight more onus on the wide forwards rather than the wing backs to provide attacking width, so should suit Lafferty more and keep us more compact against a side expected to force the issue at home.

[Blade for Life]

If Wilder is sticking to the same system i would go with the following.


Moore

Bash Stearman JOC

Baldock Lunny Fleck Leonard Lafferty

Holmes

Clarke

Duffy needs a rest and i think Clarke looked better as a hold up player/main striker, with Brookes just behind linking midfield. Holmes can play the Brookes role plus pick up any pieces outside the box for a shot. Leonard will provide some much needed pace and drive with Lunny anchoring the midfield and being the link man with the back 3. Fleck does his usual thing and Stevens also needs a rest so put Lafferty in, who had a good game at Ipswich.
