Match Thread Middlesbrough v The Mighty Blades

[Nick Jansky]

We get to see a very different 2nd half performance that restores a bit of pride & hope or Wilder’s reputation begins to suffer. That first half was not acceptable.

 

[derryblade]

That was painful to watch, second half can only be better cant it?

 

[Speedracer]

How are you all watching the game?!

I am watching it on Sky Sports, although I wish I wasn't now.

 

[brownie4583]

Got to bring Duffy and Billy on at ht
Lundstram is dire and Evans not much better

 

[Broomhall Blade]

I think I'm going to give the 2nd half a miss.
Dads Army is on UK Gold +1.

Come to think of it they move faster then our lot have tonight.

 

[Dellas Cowboys]

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

This is first game live in UK on ifollow. Google Sheffield UTD ifollow. You can register and pay to watch this match. Think prices can vary £10 - £14. Can watch on ifollow App or desktop and on desktop on Chrome, can cast to TV with Chromecast. Also if you have Sky Sports this is on red button.

Though why you'd want to watch this when you could be doing anything else like unblocking drains or something.

 

[PTBlade]

I turned it off at one nil..

Obvious what was coming

Watching the Athletics now

Nice... proper fan then?

 

[The Fox]

This has been coming since new year , relegation form since then . we've had a transfer window where we probably needed half a dozen quality players just to stand still . Others have improved , added some quality we haven't . We have "spunked moneh " on a few players that have had no positive effect ..
Pointing this out amongst some blades is heresy.. "he's one of our own" , "he's a blade ", "he's mates with the BBC " etc .... I hope he can do what he did when we were bottom of league 1 but this league takes no prisoners .. 48 hrs to sort it aht is leaving it a bit late ..
Cmon blades earn that shirt

. apologies for stating the obvious but just wanted to get it off my chest

 

[Lawrence]

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

Stearmans not good either!

 

[Bladesman]

Nice... proper fan then?

Some can see the writing on the wall.

 

[Birdwell Blade]

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.

Spot on

 

[silver blade]

it's too hot for running around roll on winter

 

[LJBlade]

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.

Yes, I asked that. It was a genuine question. I didn’t know the stats on us defending set pieces, you told me and I accepted it. I thought at the time you hadn’t fully understood me l. My reply was putting Duffy in wouldn’t have solved that issue. I’m assuming you agree that Duffy wouldn’t have stopped the 3 goals we’ve conceded?

 

[Blade56]

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

I think he needs to stop the bus again!

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.

No need looks like he's stocked himself for winter!

 

[Harry's Game]

Nice... proper fan then?

Not sitting through that

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

tbf what did jake do wrong?

 

[ucandomagic]

Trouble with this red button - when you’re on your own and 3-0 down at half time total silence is not what you need.

It’s the fucking Cardiff play-off final again - or is it Swindon. Bring on jug ears!

Back to the fridge!

 

[Wards]

No subs??

Edit: Woodburn on. Thank fuck.

 

[super_pig]

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

wenger is proof of the socialist model

 

[Eric Cartman]

Maybe not, but at least we might have created something and not looked like a conference outfit

 

[Fulwood Blade]

Lunstram off - hmmmmm..............

 

[originaltrueblade]

Lundstram off thank fuck

 

[chipsncake]

There is something seriously wrong with Wilder's mind set if he cannot see that Lundstrum and Evans are nowhere near good enough at this level. We have real problems and I would take a finishing position of 4th from bottom now. Apart from the obvious successes Wilder's recruitment overall has been poor and maybe Paul Mitchell needs to come under some scrutiny also.

 

[LJBlade]

Maybe not, but at least we might have created something and not looked like a conference outfit

Thanks

 

[The Fox]

Good news alert ... we had 57% procession in The 1st half ..

 

[Eric Cartman]

Thanks

So... you... think this was the right line up???

There is no educating some people

 

[Eric Cartman]

Lunstram off - hmmmmm..............

Where to?

Oh sorry, wishful thinking

 

[LJBlade]

So... you... think this was the right line up???

There is no educating some people

Did I say that?

 

[Eric Cartman]

Did I say that?

You said ‘thanks’ mate. You literally said thanks.

 

[Whiston Blade]

Good news alert ... we had 57% procession in The 1st half ..

We’re fucking experts at getting to their box then going backwards, then add a couple more percent for every time we have to kick off again, it’s no wonder we’re winning the possession game.
