Match Thread Middlesbrough v The Mighty Blades

[JayGreen17]

So we apparently have about £15m to spend but haven’t strengthened the squad, whilst Bham just coming out of an embargo go and sign 3 quality players in 1 day, why haven’t we strengthened, the writing was on the wall the back end of last season, we need to strengthen in a number of areas, we better be busy in the market I;the next couple of days or we’re in for a torrid season.

Are you at the match?

You can pay £10 to ifollow in the UK now to watch this shit like I have.

 

[ucandomagic]

Can somebody text Tufty the address of a good off licence between Middlesbrough and Sheffield.

I think he needs to stop the bus again!

 

[Good Pinch Of Snuff]

Well it's going to be a long season. This is complete bollocks and not changing that side from Saturday is the worst decision Wilder has made since being here.

And he will play the same at QPR

 

[Zlatan]

I think this might be the end of the back 3. We've been defensively suspect for a long time now.

The problem with that being that we've built this squad with the idea of playing a certain formation, and now we don't have time to do anything about it. If we go 4-2-3-1 (like Wilder played at Northampton, I believe) we don't really have any wide men to make it work.

It's worrying that we've limited ourselves to certain formations with no options to mix it up. With our lack of wingers the best we could hope for in terms of a wider formation is maybe a 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1 with Freeman and Stevens/Bryan out wide.

 

[bromtom]

If I was the manager I'd put 3 players on the transfer list after this shit and fine the others a weeks wages, except for Henderson and McG who are at least trying.

 

[Fulwood Blade]

Look......not bothered who it is, but you can't ever play Evans and Lundstram together.

Adding Bash to it with a fleck looking as though he's just got out of bed just isn't going to work.

 

[thehet]

Trying to play a long ball over the top of the biggest shithouse defender in the league. Good decision united. Deserved boos at ht.

 

[Birdwell Blade]

Told people and a few didn’t believe me... shame

We’re you in Portugal to see it? What happened? I don’t read a lot of stuff on here so I must’ve missed that. Worrying.

 

[Blade56]

Wilder needs to hold his hands up to this and admit he’s got things badly wrong and will be changing things. I could respect that.

Sack the fecker, sell 't club to anyone vaguely oriental and throw some money at the problem is my suggestion

 

[Blades4eva]

How are you all watching the game?!

He can fuck off if he thinks alcohol can sort this mess out. Bus can carry on down to Brentford and take Egan back n all.

 

[Eric Cartman]

So not that much to do with playing Evans and Lundstram then?

I think you misunderstood my comment about set pieces earlier, you might want re-read it.

No, I definitely didn’t misunderstand it. You said ‘are we really that bad at defending set pieces?’ Well there’s your answer

And not that much to do with playing Evans and Lundstram??? EH?!?!?
We’ve been fucking dogmeat and created NOTHING. WALK OVER.

 

[SittingontheBall]

Drunken fisticuffs apparently, edna took a swing at jock, coutts wouldnt get in a taxi and was arguing with basham who was trying to bundle him into a cab and sharp had a shouting match with someone, was all in the shoutbox / on twitter

What punch up? Between players?

 

[Blades4eva]

You can pay £10 to ifollow in the UK now to watch this shit like I have.

Oh right. I'm not sure what I follow is. Is it £10 per game?

 

[Eric Cartman]

We’re you in Portugal to see it? What happened? I don’t read a lot of stuff on here so I must’ve missed that. Worrying.

Yes mate. Some believed me some didn’t.

One or two swings, handbags, arguments, not getting into taxis.

 

[JayGreen17]

And he will play the same at QPR

£20 he doesn’t

 

[5tannington Blade]

I thought we just broke our transfer record to shore up the defence. What’s Stearman done wrong?

 

[RossyTheBlade94]

Embarrassing. 3-5-2 clearly isn't working. Look at the teams who have recently gone up out of this division and what formation they use. Wolves 4231, Fulham 4231, Cardiff 442. The line up is absolutely shocking as well. Boro play one ball round the side or over the top and they're in or around our box. No plan B.

 

[Whiston Blade]

How are you all watching the game?!

Can’t say unless you’ve been a member before 4th Dec 2016.

 

[Blades4eva]

Can’t say unless you’ve been a member before 4th Dec 2016.

Why?

 

[originaltrueblade]

Stearman and Duffy need to come on at the restart.

 

[JayGreen17]

I thought we just broke our transfer record to shore up the defence. What’s Stearman done wrong?

Having Bash in there is a nightmare he’s a liability

 

[Birdwell Blade]

Yes mate. Some believed me some didn’t.

One or two swings, handbags, arguments, not getting into taxis.

Kinell. Mind you I think stuff like that happens regular in football, problem is when grudges carry on. Hopefully it was handshakes and forgotten at the time. Based on this tonight, it might be happening in the dressing room as we speak. Might knock some life into em.

 

[sufcboy95]

This “not paying big wages so it doesn’t hurt the harmony of the team” can fuck right off.
Get with modern football, that’s how much good players cost

 

[JackSUFC]

How are you all watching the game?!

Sky Sports football > red button. Sorry for telling you.

 

[Liverpool blade]

Are you at the match?

No but a mate has gone to the game and is giving me regular updates!!. I’m just very pissed off just like everyone else apart from wilder maybe?. Surely he has to hold his hands up and say he fucked up tonight?. Lol

 

[bromtom]

Lundstram off, send him out on loan to get better on someone else's time. I stuck up for him all last season but there's something up with him and he's shit scared of cocking up.

Duffy on.

Leon off before he gets sent off, bench him for a while

Sharp on.

Stevens off, keep him as an emergency LB, he's pointless going forward so why play him in our system.

Bryan on.

 

[dazzlingblade]

Obvious what was coming.

Watching the Athletics now
