I’d be tempted to bring Bidwell in, Brereton Diaz is a horrible match up for Dasilva

Brereton (Diaz used loosely as he can't even speak Spanish) isn't very good at all. Any standard championship defender can handle him.

Don't favour Dasilva in normal times. Bidwell can manage him easily.

We have to play our strongest, in form 11 against these horrible shits .
We are worried about Dasilva , but Frank knows our weakness at left back , but Dasilva has shown a marked improvement of late & so , if the Wales games ( if played in ) hasn’t took too much out of him , then go with him .
Let them worry about us !

That's where I am with this game. Stop Hamer, they are a shadow of themselves (as were we, when he was here - Vik excepted).

Funnily enough Colemanite is a real mineral, not that our former manager is much to do with it

I've said somewhere else on here all their defeats at home have come since Christmas keep it tight for the first half.In the second half we will be able to hit them on the break as they gamble to try and get maximum points.

I don’t think he featured, even from the bench. The only consideration is the travel.

I hope we plan to do some off the ball shenanigans and leave a few studs up.

Shake them up and get a few injuries for their autos run.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer club.

This is nonsense really. Hamer has been well out of form in the last five games, they've won 3, drawn 1 of those games.

I agree. He barely featured in the Sheffield derby but they still won it.

We probably need the first goal and may be to score 3 to win.

Tough, tough game but they are beatable. Confidence is high after Sunderland but has momentum gone with the international break?

take a draw. If we can take 4/6 from the next two, I think we’ll get there.

For some reason, the closer we get to this game the more I think we’ll get outplayed, lucky and sneak a win

Same starting XI and same approach as last time out should give us enough chances to get in front early. If we can do that, I think we win it. If we don't control the game, best I can see is a draw. All about pressing the living sh*t out of them from the start.

Looks like they have a few back from injury - Souza being one, which is big for them.

Back from injury and match fit are two different things. It will give them more options from the bench.

Yeh looking back at the last 6, cba to go any further, they've been out-shot by the opposition in 5 of those 6. Regardless of what people say on here they do genuinely ride their luck and you can get at the them. Getting past that keeper seems to be the main issue but we should be well in this game for the entirety.

Last time we played them:
- No Haji Wright
- 20 shots to 7
- we had Brad Collins in goal
- dominated possession
- no Matty Grimes
- They had a full strength 11 with 1 man sent off

This time:
- Fit firing Haji Wright
- Ollie Dovin in goal
- Better tactical style
- Matty Grimes
- They have a weakened starting 11

I think the main thing is that this time, it is unlikely we are playing with a man up for the entire half.

No dreams of a win here, deffo score draw, unless Frank has a surprise in his selection and a possible tactical switch.

Just had a flick through their forum - amongst the usual tripe of 'Well they haven't got any proper rivals' they are on about the tennis ball game as per usual

Doesn't even get brought up by us, yet it lives rent free in their heads despite the fact they won the match - The tennis ball game was forgotten about by me when within 5 years of them taking the piss and telling us we'd never play them again they come to our place and got pumped 4-1

Fucking weirdos and a bunch of arrogant bastards for a club that are celebrating 100 years without a trophy this year - They literally have the perfect manager, a crying tosser with an overinflated opinion of himself

If we win only one more match this season I would pay good money for it to be tomorrow

Was that the same game one of their fans came climbing over the seats for a fight and got walloped by some kid?

I mean, he's had a couple of good seasons at Blackburn and then whilst not doing anything in Spain, hit 6 goals in 14 games for Sheff Utd in the second half of last season in the EPL. Almost 1 in 2 in the Premier League in more than 10 games (for a crap side) is good going.

He's not a bad player.
