Something of a surprise that Laurent is on the bench. Wilder has picked about the biggest side he could.

Personally would have preferred Laurent holding, Brownhill No 10 and Hannibal wide right
Burrows will be getting down our left side and Edwards is not good at defending such runs

Really surprised Laurent has been left on the bench again.

For me, we're a better team with him doing the water-carrying. Big game this, UTC!

Set pieces from Hamer and Robinson in for his long throws. Sheff U are going for the aerial bombardment.

I hope we don’t regret not playing Laurent.

They have to win so will be pumping high balls into the area inc from throw ins
Just hope Cullen and Brownhill can offer some defense to this tactic

Conroy92 · Post by **Conroy92** » Mon Apr 21, 2025 4:42 pm

Sheff starting Moore means they'll be more direct likely looking for the knock downs and hold up play. It's something we havnt looked comfortable with at times this season.

Need to be strong and take our chances when they come in this one. I would prefer us to attack them to stop this turning into a chuck the ball into our box every 5 mins.

Looks to me that we’ve picked a team to play our way rather than nullify the Blades. Hope we don’t regret not going for Laurent, but I really like Hannibal — he’s definitely more of a threat. UTC!

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Mon Apr 21, 2025 4:51 pm

Afternoon, All.
Beer poured. Several others waiting.
For Celebration not drowning sorrows........ 3 points today please.

COME ON UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU CLARET!!!

I am really surprised Laurent isn’t starting but really happy with the line up.

Feeling great ahead of this game. I would take a draw right now

Jimmymaccer · Post by **Jimmymaccer** » Mon Apr 21, 2025 5:02 pm

Afternoon from Sicily……given we struggled a bit against Derby with Long throw ins to the box etc…….that’s exactly what Wilder will do…….he ain’t going pretty, it’ll be a scrap……..

COYC!!!

Paddy1882 · Post by **Paddy1882** » Mon Apr 21, 2025 5:03 pm

Being picky I’d have played Laurent and moved Hannibal wide dropping Edward’s but still a team capable of winning. In the big games against Sheff utd we usually fair well so I’m backing another win. UTC

Tackler49 · Post by **Tackler49** » Mon Apr 21, 2025 5:08 pm

Most people thought Laurent for Hannibal but can Hannibal control his emotions in this highly charged match today it needs cool heads today UTC

We can bring him on after halftime to consolidate our 3 - 0 lead.

Can't see anything other than Pulis's Stoke approach from Blades here. Long throws, high balls to Moore, scrapping and niggling.

Let's hope we can stay out of any nonsense tonight.

We're going to be bombarded with high 'uns today.
They'll have neck ache in the BL by HT.

If Anthony had crossed that straight away we had a player running in on his own.

I think that was going in if it didn't hit Flemming.

No he refuses to set foot on the premises - even for none club related events, such as post funeral receptions etc

Wow.
I don't know the story. Perhaps better not discussed on an open site.
That's really, really sad.
Cheers Chester.

Roberts's passing has been awful the last couple of games......miles off.
