Absolutely fucking awful

[Scooter_mcgavin]

No, not the mighty Blades, but bloody Bolton.

Same as at home last season, buying free kicks all game, lump it up into the box. Absolutely archaic football.

Big Blackman dominated everything, was superb, claimed absolutely everything in the box, superb performance.

Back 3, superb, full backs brilliant (Baldock is some player).

First half an hour Fleck and Duffy struggled with their 6'5 beefy harrassing, but soon grew into the game and controlled midfield.

Coutts is just Coutts.

Clarke battled but didn't really do much.

Sharp barely touched the ball again.

Deserved performance, they're finishing rock bottom with about 30 points. Absolutely shocking team.

 

[Bladesman]

We got dragged into playing that way in the 2nd half and giving away needless free kicks. A shame as we had played some good stuff in the first half and I thought we would push for a 2nd goal.

I've not hated a team that we've actually beaten - that much for a long long time.

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

Great three points against a disgusting alehouse team.

Wonder what Parky has to say about that, probably we bullied them.

They had us under pressure for long periods. Our defence held out but those Bolton tactics will work against other teams

Give it a couple of weeks

You think?

I didn't think that at all. They had a run of 'bought' free kicks. That's the only time we were under any pressure.

league table suggests otherwise

 

[blade too long]

a team of jeremy kyle characters playing lump it football relying on thuggish defenders
with chief scumbag girl beater madine up front

a win to savour

 

[Tyler Durden]

Bit disappointed that Madine hasn't incurred a serious life-changing injury yet, but there's 39 games left so I guess I'll just have to keep the faith.

A few goalmouth scrambles too. Our defence did magnificently but for the last 25 mins we seemed happy to sit back and defend

Meh. It's what I refer to as Kevin Blackwell fake-pressure, where a team keeps getting the ball high up the pitch, into the box, but is really only desperately hoping for a lucky bounce. We had three centre backs who are good in the air, a 6'5 keeper, and that's enough that Bolton were never a real threat. If I were watching from Bolton's perspective (and given the football we've played in the past, I know exactly how I'd feel) I'd say they could've played another ninety minutes and they wouldn't have scored.

Never looked like conceding mind.

I thought that v Sunderland until they got one at the end

 

[Blade58]

Has anyone ever seen such a tall side?

Apart from ALF and a couple of others they all looked 6'6"

 

[Nedski]

We needed this game. We've held our own against teams that try to play football, now we've shown we won't be kicked off the park by a hoof brigade. I imagine W*dnesday will bring both, and we'll deal with it

 

[Roygbiv]

I listened to Radio Sheffield and the amount of times I heard "and Bolton launch it into the area" was getting quite funny towards the end. They are like no other side we will play this season which makes it a great result

 

[JJ Sefton]

We were good first half, let them have too much second. I still think we're lacking up front. Bolton were dreadful, worse than last season. They'll go back down.

PS Where are those Bolton twats from last season?

STFU & get Viewfrom done.

Tomorrow afternoon. I don't have enough data to collect all the tears at the moment so need WiFi

Should be interesting lol

Don't know when the pigs play Bolton, either home or away, but sky would do well to stay well clear of that fucking circus.

 

[Stretch]

A horrible, horrible team. Madine is perfect for them, an absolute twat playing twatish football for a twatish manager and twatish chairman.

Apologies for my less than cordial post.

Fingers crossed utb

They already have in the carabao, lost 3-2

 

[Toronto Blade]

Wheater kicked one off the line and we hit the crossbar with 4 changes to the lineup, a good days work!

 

[Robboblade1889]

Well that was awful! Watching that Bolton team was like going back to 70's. Not seen a team who are so anti football in a long long time they made he Bolton team of last season look like Barcelona.

So much praise for the blades we stood strong and this win was more impressive than Saturday. Our centre halves must have neck braces on tonight.

Do you recommend them?

Remember the days when Parky was in the running for the blades job...
