Ahem...four

50 tickets left, last few will probably go tomorrow. Hopefully get a decent bit of noise going, will need to give it some volume as their lot will be raucous early on first game back up. When we took 5,500 to Sheff Utd a few years back those of us in the upper tier didn't have a clue what the support was like down on the lower, hopefully a bit better togetherness on Friday.

 

Don't remind me, that was league Cup 1/4 final wasn't it,  still managed to lose,massive following up there midweek close to Christmas let down by the players as usual

The long trip back was no fun, as shit as coming back midweek from Derby in the play-offs.

Hope so, everyone standing probably helps.

By 10pm Friday night we could be top of the league, joint top or.........bottom.

RM press conf this morning:

- Mara is a doubt

- Bednarek, S Armstrong and Aribo are all back available 

- JWP and Lavia currently in plans for Friday’s squad but ‘not got a clue’ if that might change in the next 24 hours or so

- Kamaldeen injured ‘genuinely is’ and Martin saying he really likes him, had some great chats through preseason

Interesting. Quickly find out if this guy can actually be a trusted source. Hopefully not.

That's a blow if true. KWP to play then? Lucky we have such strength in depth in that area at the moment.

I mean when he said JWP was missing from the Bournemouth(?) match he left out the part that it was due to him being injured, so yeah - as the others above have said he usually is on the ball but leaves out the most important details which are the actually reasoning which means whenever he does tweet something like this it leaves everyone guessing and generates further attention for him because of that.

Good plan from him to be fair. Great way to generate clicks. 
 

Luckily we have the Circle of Trust™ on here to seperate the wheat from the chaff. Genuinely not sure what we’d do otherwise

Anyone know who has  the EPL streaming rights in France ? The EPL site says it is BEIN sports, but the aren't showing the game on their listings. 

https://streamsgate.tv/

Just look on this website the day of the game and click on our match and then it will open a new tab and if you scroll down there will be lots of streams there.

Hang on, I thought the Skates were the best supported team in the land? 🤔

Yes but there were 5,000 outside with banning orders, and another 10,000 lurking around Meadowhall Shopping Centre acting 'big', intimidating women and children.

Thanks for that, a few of my usual sites have disappeared.  I looked at the legal route but Bein are supposed to have the rights but the game doesn't show on their site, and would be blocked of the Saints live stream.

I find it quite bizarre that people can't find streaming sites. All you need to have is a basic grasp of the English language and access to Google.

Interesting to see Robert Madley as ref. He was a good ref before he got sacked and I did not realise he was back at this level. Id say he was a better ref than his brother still in the PL. 

They are from and I believe still live in the same town as I in Yorkshire... hope he remains impartial 😊 might see if I can get a lift ...

Livramento, ABK, Larios, Perraud, Onuachu and Mara not travelled.

I'll go with this as a final prediction -

                       Bazunu
KWP - Bednarek - Stephens - Manning
                    Smallbone
                 Alcaraz - JWP
           Tella - Arma - Edozie

McCarthy, Lyanco, Bree, Charles, Lavia, S. Armstrong, Djenepo, Amo-Ameyaw, Adams

I'd like that but what we'd give for a proper striker. Just hope it's not too much 'possession football' passing sideways at the back and Baz holding on to the ball for 30 seconds. There's got to be that forward intent. I can see a lot of teams holding back on the press and effectively say 'you're meant to be the better side, you come to us'.

If that's what you're hoping for...be prepared to be disappointed.

I'm normally a sucker for those types of video but that was a low bar effort from the media team.

Was like a trailer for a sitcom. I actually laughed at Jack Stephens stood outside the training ground like a returning character. 

Also at Gavin Bazunu cutting to "time to trust".

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest there might be buses and taxis in Sheffield.

Correct, and  if you look on tram website, it gives details of tram replacement buses to and from Hillsborough

I had a skim through of their last preseason friendly against Luton:

Play a 442/4411. Proper lower-league, direct football. They do pass it out the back a fair bit initially though, before launching it to the big target man, so we might have some turnover opportunities with our press. Bannan playing off the target man looks good.

Oldest squad in the league, and they look it. Look really solid and experienced. Also look fairly slow and seemed to stop any sort of pressing after 20 minutes.

If this was played in a few months on a Saturday at 3pm I'd expect us to thump them. Feels like anything could happen on the first night of the season with a full crowd at a newly promoted Hillsborough. Has a cup game feel to it.

Would be a big disappointment to lose this as they have had a chaotic preseason and look a bit disorganised at times. I think our quality will be too much for them. We will have a far better team playing than we did in the League Cup game, which I didn't expect to be the case. Should be comfortable, but I don't feel very comfortable...

Think you’re absolutely spot on here. I can’t help but feel like it’ll be a case of the only way we lose is if we beat ourselves, without wanting to sound too disrespectful.

We’ve all understandably only been taking in what’s happening on our end, but the last 2/3 months at Sheffield Wednesday have been an absolute shit show by all accounts.

Its here, first game of the season and I am going for 4-0.

I like your optimism. I can't see us keeping a clean sheet though with the chuckle brothers at centre back and a hologram in goal... 3-3 for me with 3 sloppy goals conceded from defensive brain farts

4-0 would be a home win ;)

We're going to score our first goal of the season about ten minutes into the second half tonight then.

I did wonder the significance of the time showing on the Civic, that explains it!

Hopefully it's not trying to get back into the game. From the moment they start playing 'Hi-Ho' over the PA the crowd will be pumped up, new season, newly promoted, chance to turn over the fancy-dans down from the PL. First 10-15 minutes will be crucial, if we concede early could be a long night - I'd like to think we'd get at them quick but can only see us ponderously trying to control the ball around our box early on with the inevitable occurring. Happy to be very wide of the mark!

Predicting the starting line up is going to be fun! Are we thinking something like: Baz, KWP, Bednarek, Stephens, Manning, JWP, Lavia, Smallbone, Alcaraz, Tella, AA?

Either way we should have enough to win the game, but there is the momentum issue to think about, a promoted team against a relegated team and morale could be with Wednesday. However I think Martin has been here long enough now to get his style and philosophy implemented and we still have a lot of good players, so I'm going with a 2-0 Saints.

 

10pm tonight...
