We’re in an injury crisis with 8 first team defenders and 3 midfielders out before today’s game. Each week injuries have got worse so it’s a makeshift team in place now. You are playing us at a good time. Are you going to the game next week?

One point in three games since the international break.

It seems that I’m not the only team with an injury crisis

They aren't in great form right now and tbh we were unlucky to miss out on boro with the cancellation when they were really struggling, maybe they still are somewhat, so about time we get some when they're not fully at it.

Either way tough game but we've shown some class yesterday and go there in full confidence.

Was sat in the pub watching it. Some guy next to us had Pool/Palace double (they beat Man City at the Etihad). I had a flurry on us to
beat Sheff Utd. Was a good night that night afterwards
 
In answer to the o/p: “absolutely” 😬

Need a bit of luck sometimes and injuries will play a massive part, I expect. Hopefully get Madine back fighting fit from our perspective.
 
On the subject of an away match, I'm just getting my tickets for Sheff Utd and I've wondered this a few times for various games.
WTF is area 1 and area 2
 
they were a good side last season, particularly going forward. played at pace, lots of movement in the midfield and in the front line. it doesn't surprise me that they are up at the top. However it seems that when they came up against a well organised defence as against us in the game in Sheffield they didn't have much of a plan B, which i think made them a bit inconsistent. I thought they were a better side than Bournemouth last year (even though the table said otherwise).

They've had a couple of bad results and will want to come out all guns blazing, there is going to be close on 30,000 people there and what i remember the fans are twitchy. They have the second leanest defence so far, but again from what i remember they have a tendency to dick about in their own half, susceptible to the press. Can we be organised defensively from the off and play with the kind of intensity and energy that we played with in the last 25 on Saturday?????

Theo to the bench for me, with either Poveda or Carey replacing him, both can cross the ball, Carey has the energy to do the hard work when we drop to a 6-3-1 Poveda might not last more than 50 minutes. Start Bridcut and if necessary replace for Dougs at half time. I think we will have to get into them from the first whistle and stop their midfield. Hopefully hubbys on the bench so can get a solid thirty minutes in when Thomson picks up another yellow card, in prep for the following week.
 
They are one of the better teams but are no doubt going through a sticky patch. We have nothing to lose but must try to stay positive and not sit too deep as we did in the 1st half against Watford. Their fans will probably see us as an easy touch so a good start could see them getting a little twitchy.
 
If we start on the front foot and be positive why not ( we beat Watford and held are own really against Norwich) be negative and they could take us apart if we invite pressure. Nothing to lose as nobody expects us to get anything so go for it 👍

Well done to him 👍, my youngest is at uni at the etihad, he’s just got a placement at Rochdale fc so if it goes well I’m looking forward to seeing them play pne in 2025
 
Heckingbottom was without McBurnie due to suspension and both George Baldock and Berge missed out after sustaining injuries in the 1-0 defeat against QPR last Tuesday.
Jayden Bogle was also absent with a knee injury, while Anel Ahmedhodzic wasn't risked after returning from a thigh strain. In addition, Enda Stevens, Max Lowe, Jack Robinson, Ciaran Clark, John Fleck, Ismaila Coulibaly and long-term absentee were sidelined for the trip to Stoke.
