Some positives

[United Aren't Back.]

United's crossing was better first half.
McBurnie was unlucky twice.
He worked exceptionally hard.
Come on United.
Win the next game.

I thought brewster showed some good touches great ball to mcburnie who should have scored

 

[ekke287]

We don’t take our chances and we always concede. That in itself needs to rectified.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

We’re a mid-table Premier league team that’s unable to score..

 

[Hartley Hare]

It is not all doom and gloom.

Agree there was positives.....on another day we could have won.

but......there were positives in many of the other matches too.
Apart from Chelsea away we’ve not been terrible in any match....but we are still losing.

Actually the main positives are....incredibly we’re 1 (one win) from escaping the relegation zone and
also its very early in the season....plenty of time to turn our season around.

Pitch looked well.

 

[Bladesman]

Pitch looked well.

The Desso has always been the best signing.

Not sure about unlucky to be fair mate
It’s a big non moving target, you practice everyday and are paid handsomely to hit inside the posts from about 10yards

Conceding from a defection is unlucky, lundstams big toe was unlucky, this was not good enough.

 

[1973Blade]

I think we should stick with Mcburnie and Brewster up front. My main criticism is the chopping and changing up front, give Brewster a chance, there is a decent player there. Much as I love McGoldrick, I think it is time to move on.

Totally disagree- we are and look like a very average championship side

How many goals has McBurnie scored this season again?

Does that change the fact its our worst start to a season in our entire history ?

 

[1973Blade]

I'm not saying he's been great, but I do think we need an aerial threat up there. To be fair to him, we create little. I might be in a minority but I think he was unlucky with his chance today.

That makes us very much a bottom of the table Premier League side.

If me auntie had bollocks springs to mind.

 

[Revolution]

I might not be able to watch the WBA game due to another commitment.

that’s a positive.

We'll still finish top half though mate, I know this cos loads of posters staked their reputations on it.

 

[Wards]

Brewster looks good when we have the ball.

Baldock played well.

Nice to have Fleck back.

Henderson probably wouldn’t have saved it.

Agreed. Not the thread I want to read right now. Positives? Yeah, right.

 

[Varkanoid]

Shot of the rainbow was nice.

 

[Bladesman]

The only positive is we didn't get totally fucked up the arse 4-0.

Wilder has plenty of credit in my book for what he's done.
Things will improve.
Dramatically.
Dunno when.
But they will.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

Before I say owt else, I'm not clutching at straws here.

Right now, it feels shit and I'm as gutted as the next Blade.

However - this is not a 'we didn't turn up, we're useless' feeling of disappointment.
This is a 'we looked a bit better and deserved something from that' feeling of disappointment. There's a huge difference between the two.

Yes, we're still not fully at it and it lacks tempo, yes there's obvious flaws in how we're playing but in comparison to our pretty shite starting point, that was an improvement. We tried to move the ball about, the full backs tried to get forward, we whipped balls in early and McBurnie tried to get on the end of them. The strikers will benefit from that.

The first McBurnie chance where he forces a save, the first half header, the McGoldrick header and then the McBurnie shot that thunders against the bar. Take some of those and we have our first win of the season. Those chances created are what McBurnie and Brewster work best with, now they've got to remember what they are doing - as it's been a while since they had owt to work with.

UTB.

 

[Rochdaleblade]

I thought we were decent first half, but again the worrying thing was how we fell apart after the goal. We need a flukey goal to go in off someone's arse or something. I think if we lose to West Brom next week I might give up the ghost.

 

[Dnblade]

United's crossing was better first half.
McBurnie was unlucky twice.

Come on United.
Win the next game.

Agree, but on the crosses we need better anticipation.. Get across defenders and get on the end of them, we're on our heels.. McB a couple of times first half.

 

[Varkanoid]

Positive is we should have won.

We didnt - which is a fact. McBurnie needs to be "rested"

Another positive. West Brom lost yesterday

 

[Gavlar]

I don't think any of our strikers are good enough. Though Brewster might be in time. Mousett was our best last season but he keeps getting injured.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

True enough.
Not good at expeicting and anticipating crosses.

 

[1973Blade]

I think our main problem isn't our strikers. We create so little, play the ball back too often, are too slow breaking.
