    Interesting idea. Good to be back where we do actually have some options. The only other person I would put at RB though is KWP if he's ready. It's one of the reasons I like Djenepo in the team - he helps Bednerak tighten up that right hand side very effectively.

    Oh for sure I’d play KWP. But if not ready, I’d go Jack or Ramsey. Please not Bednarek though, really that experiment should be done with now.

    It really shouldn't matter who we play at RB for this one.

    Sheff Utd don't know what a left winger/wide left midfielder is.

    Not defensively no. But going forward.....KWP would be a huge boost.

    I dont know, I expect if we play Bednarek, and they stick Burke on left wing, he would cause us issues, do you not think?

    Wilder likes his width to come from his wing backs. Hence why they have no wingers in their squad. I can't see him changing it for us.

    And even if he did stick Burke out there, that's fine be me. Sure, he's quick. But he's also useless.

    Yeah I’m sure youre right, but clueless and us has me worried a bit right now.

    I’m sure it will all be fine, but Burke worries me for this one.

    Last time I saw him was sitting next to him on the bus back over Itchen Bridge. We were just having a general chat about the game v Aston Villa and on checking our credentials so to speak he let it slip who he was. On being told that my young grandson was dumbstruck, and just said very loudly, 'just wait till I get home and tell my Dad!' 'Dad' was 4 years old in THAT cup final!

    Jim Steele and Mel Blyth. One as hard as nails and the other as cultured as they come. As with many in that team they played when they thought the opposition were good enough for them. Man Utd at Wembley was just their sort of game. Give them Rochdale on a wet Tuesday night and they'd disappear.

    I love the story that before the game Lawrie told the two of them that he didn't care if the Queen was watching."If the ball's in our box, don't fanny about just kick it out."

    Didn't realise Sheff Utd had a game today - hope that gives us a slight advantage with an extra couple of days rest and training.

    Tiredness as an excuse isnt cutting it saturday!

    I just looked on the Fantasy Premier League app and didn’t realise how many centre backs Sheff Utd had out injured.

    Egan, O’Connell and Basham are out, now with Jagielka suspended, I only know of Ampadu who plays centre back for them.

    We shouldn’t really need their first choice players to be out, but it’s certainly a positive for us given our run of form.

    Jagielka being unavailable is not really an advantage. However, them playing with 10 men for most of the 2nd half is, particularly as we have 2 days more preparation.

    When I refer to tiredness, I don’t mean days since last game
