Sheffield United (a), Bramall Lane, FA Cup sponsored by e-on 4th Round, 24/01/09





To the few expected travellers making a third trip to the Sheffield in less than a month, I salute you. I am expecting a third defeat in South Yorkshire, and a pretty comprehensive one at that, as we steel (no pun intended) ourselves for the derby on Tuesday night.

Throughout this truly horrific season, I have felt we have hit rock bottom. We did it against Barnsley, Sheffield United (twice!), Blackpool and Nottingham Forest. However, I have had a feeling in the pit of my stomach that we will reach the bottom at about 9.45pm on Tuesday night. I pray to God I am wrong, but with the supporters justifiably livid and an AGM scheduled for Wednesday at 11am, it promises to be another lively week in SE7.

Aside from all of this, we have a football match to win tomorrow- and thankfully Parky is unable to call upon any of our horrific loanees, so this is the side I feel the manager will pick tomorrow.

Randolph, Moutaouakil, Hudson, Fortune, Basey, Sam, Shelvey, Ambrose, Bailey, Gray, Dickson.

Subs: Eliot, Youga, Holland, Racon, Todorov, Wright, Wagstaff.

NLA predicts: Sheffield United 2 (Sharp 16', Kilgallon 67') Charlton 0

Att: 15,339
