Mate reckons mitoma not playing and Ferguson not in squad. Not ideal.

Yeah, that's far from ideal!

We've basically had a day and a half to prepare, train and assess injuries. Always the case for any team in the Europa League and I'm not complaining but we will need to dig deep, on and off the pitch.

Sheffield Utd have a lot of injuries and a poor squad to start with, Heckingbottom is doing the best he can. Their fans last time at the Amex (before Covid) were pretty decent and nowhere near as entitled as their city rivals. They will be here for a good day out and any result will be a bonus.

I can remember when that was us and it wasn't long ago.

In short, a loud away end with minimal expectations and a ten man low block. Triffic

Update: my sources suggest the away end might not be that banging after all

 

[Affy]

This could well be tricky. We don’t have a good record against them and the injuries are piling up. But here’s hoping we do a job.

Great to see Moder back in the squad.

I think this is definitely a part of it. Huge turnaround (relatively) in Seaford earlier.

indeed I was in seaford and headed off on the next train out

First time for O'Mahony to appear on the bench?

 

[LamieRobertson]

No Veltman
Moder

FFS, no Dunk

Are y seriously surprised at no Dunk?

 

[BBassic]

Now that's some rotation. We'll be fine. Feeling oddly optimistic about it.

 

[LamieRobertson]

First time for O'Mahony to appear on the bench?

Yep

 

[Brok]

5-0

 

[Guinness Boy]

No Veltman
Moder

FFS, no Dunk

Dunk has a groin injury and will probably miss England too. Did you not watch the Ajax game?

 

[el_ciddy]

Looks like BHAFC are making a fixture that is an expected win as difficult as possible… again.

 

[brighton_tom]

3 at the back

Great to see Moder on the bench and the youngsters too.
Seem to say it most games he plays but massive chance for Buonaotte to actually contribute something.
Think we will win comfortably, will be great if Moder can get 20-30.
