Trains going to awkward from Sheffield,if anyone gets stuck get a tram to Meadowhall and a taxi from there,remember to change trams in town though or you’ll end up at Hillsborough.

 

I got a bus last time when someone nicked a power cable and the train wasn’t running. I’m going to drive tomorrow.

We’re meeting some Rotherham fans in The 1915,but I actually thought they said meet us in 1915.

I know Rotherham is backwards but bloody hell.

Taxi is 11 quid for us so we’re having an extravagant treat.

My one change to that would be Forsyth for Malone.

Could have turned up late at 7.15pm ?

Lots of promising signs so far, but the way we move the ball from defence up the field has been the main problem so far.

The return of Huddlestone could be key to fixing this and looking forward to seeing how this goes. Might take him a few games to fully settle in, but things are well set for him to destroy Man Utd.

I hope we go for a balanced midfield in this one. I have a feeling that if we get these three out there they will establish themselves for a while.

I love Bryson, but he should be an alternative to Mount for me.

Never picked a Lampard starting 11 and I don't expect to be able to now. I do expect Nugent to start. The forward places are the toughest and even though it's surprising that Nuge has been holding one of them down, it's Frank's message to the rest of the squad you need to work incredibly hard all week in training and then for every minute you're on the pitch.

My impression from the press conference is that Davies and Evans are out and Bogle, Wilson and Ledley aren't fit to start. I'm going to guess Lamps will go with:

Carson

Wisdom      Keogh      Tomori      Forsyth

Huddlestone

Bryson     Mount

Josefzoon     Nugent     Waghorn

Subs: Roos, Bogle, Malone, Johnson, Bennett, Wilson, Lawrence

But that leaves no place for Holmes, Marriott, Ledley and probably others I've forgotten (I figure Pearce is "deep backup" and centre half cover here is from Wisdom, Huddlestone and Forsyth).

Is Bogle fit to be on the bench?
